The third and final entry in Hal Roach’s famed Topper trilogy may very well be the best of the lot. Returning for their third portrayal of Mr. and Mrs. Cosmo Topper, Roland Young and Billie Burke are consistently upstaged by a sparkling new addition to the Topper troupe, Jack Benny’s famed manservant, the loveable and irascible Eddie “Rochester” Anderson. This time around there is a “new” ghostly presence in the shapely form of Joan Blondell, who is unceremoniously dispatched by a cloaked knife murderer in a case of mistaken identity. Naturally, Joan floats over to the Topper’s quiet abode and nags Cosmo into investigating her death. Back they come to the spooky scene of the crime, where Topper is accused of the murder by a houseful of creeps headed by ghoulmeister George Zucco. And who else should be the lead detective on the case, but the uproarious Donald McBride of Room Service fame, thoroughly bungling everything in sight!

“Really funny sequel that outdoes its predecessors.” – Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
