Topper Takes a Trip, the 1939 Norman Z. McLeod romantic fantasy ghost divorce comedy sequel ("Topper is back and in trouble again!"; "More trouble for Topper... More fun for you!"; "Thorne Smith's famous Topper is on the loose again... with his vanishing girlfriend and her bag of tricks!"; produced by Hal Roach; in this sequel, Mrs. Topper is considering divorcing Mr. Topper, and in a complicated story, he goes on a trip to France, and the ghost of Marion Kerby and her dog Mr. Atlas help him get reunited with his wife) starring Constance Bennett (as Marion Kerby), Roland Young (in the title role as Cosmo Topper), Billie Burke (as Mrs. Topper), Alan Mowbray, Verree Teasdale, Franklin Pangborn, Alexander D'arcy, Mr. Atlas, Asta (billed as "Skippy"), and Paul Hurst. Note that Topper was an extremely successful 1937 fantasy that starred Constance Bennett and Cary Grant as a young couple that dies and return as ghosts to help Roland Young. But when they wanted to make a sequel two years later, Cary Grant declined to participate (he was too big a star!), so a script was written where he was still in Heaven, and Constance Bennett was accompanied by a dog, Mr. Atlas (played by Asta, the famous dog from the"Thin Man" series!). Two years later, another sequel was made, but Bennett did not return for this sequel, and Joan Blondell starred as a different ghost in need of Mr. Topper's help.

Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 7 1/4" x 9 1/2" [18 x 24 cm], but it has not been trimmed.

Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday!
