Description:
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!

Rating:  - topper returns
What can I say, my wife and I love these types of old movies. Its great to get out of the every day stress and have a few laughs.
Rating: - As close to perfect as you can get
That's right, this movie has everything. It has an all-star cast, a mansion, a murder, a ghost, and comedy! One review I read for this movie said it was the perfect rainy day movie. To that I agree. I remember the first time I saw this movie, it was pouring down rain and I remember Tom Hatten giving the introduction to it on the "Family Film Festival", a Los Angeles TV show every weekend back in the 1980's.

Rating:  - Rainy Day Movie
This is the type of movie when you do not feel like doing the work you should be doing, it's raining and you need a little comedy, a little mystery and a good story line. That's Topper Returns. I've always loved Rochester and I enjoy the part when he says "I'm going back to Mr. Benny. Nothing like this ever happens with him." This can be watched with the family without putting your hands over little eyes and ears. I am positive you'll get a chuckle out of this one.
Rating: - What a fun movie.
I wish we really had a here-after like in this film. Then I wouldn't fear death so much. This was fun to watch. I loved the mansion on the hill. Where on earth do they have places like this? I'd love to stay in one sometime. Wouldn't it be nice? Only, I wouldn't want to end up like the girl in this movie. I liked this movie. The DVD skips in a few places though and is frustrating, only when that happens.
