Topper Returns (1941)

Really Cute And Fun Ghost Story


Ann Carrington (Landis) stands to inherent a fortune on her 21st birthday and is invited to her home where she is to meet her father for the very first time. Ann brings her best friend Gail Richards (Blondell) to stay with her in the home. The girls end up changing bedrooms to sleep in and Gail is murdered, the murderer intended on killing Ann instead for the inheritance: money and home. The ghost of Gail ends up enlisting the help of Cosmo Topper (Young) in order to find out who killed her and why. A reluctant Topper helps to cracks the murder case.

Fun story! Large old mansion, plenty of secret passageways, a phantom killer on the loose, a ghost, bungling police and a cast of zany characters pull off a film enjoyable for the whole family to watch.

8/10
