sexy and wise cracking joan blondell and who have accompany her best friend back to her stately home to meet her father after many and many year and mysteriously be knife after have trade room with carole landis the intended victim . in true topper fashion and her ghost find the next door neighbor who have give them both a lift earlier and one cosmo topper . he see dead people all the time and way before it become quite so fashionable in the sixth sense . topper return be the third and last of the topper series and all of which star roland young a the lead and billie burke a his annoy wife . young play the role to perfection again and burke be equally up to the challenge . lot of support in this one for young and burke a the old and spooky haunt house genre serve a primary backdrop when topper go to the scene of the crime and then we get mixed identity and hidden panel and score of red herring point out everyone guilt except for the killer but generously dose with lot of amuse quip from young and wise crack one liner from blondell in ghostly form and by play between burke and her maid and the underrated patsy kelly and and chauffeur or fraidy cat eddie rochester anderson basically play himself and ham it up a only he can . anderson be easily the bright spot in the film for me and even at one point make reference to former employer jack benny . but the cast also have the eerie like of george zucco and h. b. warner and donald macbryde and and rafaela ottiano play one creepy housekeeper . while definitely not a polish a production a the original topper and topper return be a whole lot more fun in hal roach fashion . it be my favourite of the three topper film a it mix comedy with horror rather well for it time .
