Topper Takes a Trip (1938)

Roland Young plays the put-upon Mr. Topper in an endearing way. I also enjoyed his athletic physical acting in the dancing and fighting scenes. The plot is very thin, since this movie and the first Topper flick rely heavily on the fantastic special effects to keep the audience engaged. I actually prefer #3 in this series, Topper Returns, to #1 or #2. #3 adds a murder mystery and a spooky mansion, so if you want to watch Topper, I recommend that one. P.S. Constance Bennett's sparkle gown is almost worth watching this movie for.
A year later, Billie Burke aka Mrs. Topper, played Glinda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz. 😊😊😊
