# Topper (1937)

1937 · 95 min · Fantasy, Romance · United States


## Synopsis

Topper is a 1937 American supernatural comedy film starring Constance Bennett and Cary Grant, and featuring Roland Young, Billie Burke, Alan Mowbray, and Eugene Pallette in support. Directed by Norman Z. McLeod, it tells the story of a stuffy, stuck-in-his-ways man who is haunted by the ghosts of a fun-loving married couple. The film was adapted by Eric Hatch, Jack Jevne and Eddie Moran from the 1926 novel by Thorne Smith. It was produced by Hal Roach and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Topper was a huge hit with film audiences in the summer of 1937. Topper was the first black-and-white film to be digitally colorized, re-released in 1985 by Hal Roach Studios.
