Topper

About This Movie

So, 'Topper' is this really interesting blend of comedy and fantasy that captures the essence of the late 30s. You’ve got George and Marion as these playful ghosts, and they bring this wild energy to Topper's rather dull life. The chemistry is just right, with Cary Grant's charm shining through and Constance Bennett really holding her own. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged with plenty of laughs and some surprisingly touching moments. The practical effects are quite clever for the time, especially how they depict the ghosts interacting with the living world. There's this underlying theme about breaking free from societal norms which is just delightful. It's all wrapped up in a lighthearted yet slightly mischievous atmosphere that makes it stand out in that era of cinema.
