Reviews for Topper
Cary Grant and Constance Bennett, as the reincarnated Kerbys, do their assignments with great skill.
Too gentle and leisurely to survive as a solid classic, though there's pleasure to be found in the cast's graceful way with comedy and their smooth ensemble playing.
[C]harming and witty darlings... get to spend eternity wandering around in their evening clothes...
A frightfully funny mix of special effects and languid humour which inspired two excellent sequels...
Cary Grant and Constance Bennett are Thorne Smith's continental ghosts, haranguing tired businessman Roland Young in arch screwball style.
