Review of Topper

Topper (1953–1955)
8/10
Never seen so much cigarette smoke
3 May 2024
This is a must-have for those that lived through the era. However, I was surprised to see so much smoking. Has society changed that much that most of the scenes look like one big cigarette commercial? It is hard to see the ghosts through all the smoke.

Although there is a series of Topper movies, this TV series is the Topper I came to know and love. Once in a while, I see the actors in other movies and it reminds me of the character he/she played in this movie. Anne Jeffreys as Marion Kerby can be seen again in the movie Boys' Night Out (1962). Leo G. Carroll as Cosmo Topper, can be seen again as Rev. Dr. Mosby in The Parent Trap (1961).

The basic story is that a young fairly modern couple, George and Marion Kerby got caught in an avalanche along with their rescue St Bernard, Neil. They refused to give up the ghost and went home to live. Turns out that Cosmo Topper and his wife Henrietta (Lee Patrick) Bought the Kerby house. Yep now Cosmo can see the Kerby's when they wish and Neil turns out to be a lush. The situation now has its plusses and minuses as everyone becomes one happy family.
