    Relatively weak sequel of "Topper"

    This film starts in court, with the divorce proceedings between Cosmo Topper and his wife. A flashback explains how the events of the original film, Topper - Das blonde Gespenst (1937), supposedly caused this. However, the real reason (which does not get sufficiently clear until much later) is that Mrs. Topper's lawyer is trying to manipulate her into marrying a French fortune hunter. It appears that the events of the previous film just gave the crooked lawyer an opening that she could exploit.

    The original film was based on a novel by Thorne Smith, and this sequel is based on the novel's sequel. The fun-loving dead Kerby couple who previously rescued Mr. Topper from boredom somehow get reactivated from heaven as ghosts to correct the unfortunate side-effect of their good deed. Except that George Kerby (Cary Grant) didn't like the film's script, or wanted more money than was available, or just had something better to do with his time, and so wasn't available. So unlike in the novel, in the film Marion Kerby (Constance Bennett) returns alone. Which comes across as odd because unlike in the novel, the film doesn't portray an actual romance between Marion Kerby and Cosmo Topper, choosing to depict the Kerby marriage as totally harmonious.

    For added variety in the invisibility-based slapstick scenes, Marion finds herself a cute dog ghost as a sidekick. Unfortunately, the dog is never really used properly. Like the original film, this sequel could no doubt have profited a lot from breaking the prejudice of the early sound film era and hiring a slapstick expert rooted in the silent film era as an adviser. But they clearly didn't, and so the physical comedy, which should have been the strongest point, again comes across as having the handbrake on. Of course this was true already in the original film.

    The original film somehow managed to be above average through a consistently high quality of script and acting. This and Cary Grant seem to be the second most important things missing in this sequel.

    At least this is a proper sequel, unlike the second sequel, Ich suche meinen Mörder (1941), which just uses the Toppers for an unrelated though similar ghost story script set in a horror house.

    Who needs Carey Grant Anyway?

    This is essentially a continuation of TOPPER. It does need to be watched as a part two of the original film otherwise it won't make sense.

    The humour's the same, the feel is the same and actually the jokes are the same. That carbon copy formula worked with AIRPLANE and AIRPLANE II and it works with this too. If you enjoyed TOPPER you'll definitely enjoy this.

    There's one obvious difference: no Carey Grant . Constance Bennett therefore has to carry this alone and she accomplishes that seemingly without any effort. You don't miss Mr Grant at all but maybe that's because since this is so much of a continuation, you still think he's been in this anyway, just not in the last few scenes.

    It's a silly story with silly characters but being so professionally made and expertly directed and acted, when you're watching this, somehow it feels sort of believable or at least it lowers your credibility filter down to level zero.

    Talk about a Beach Ball !

    Topper Takes a Trip just never gets going. It's an OK comedy sequel to the 1937 smash hit but without Cary Grant. That leaves Marion (Constance Bennett) alone to hound Topper (Roland Young) but the film is missing the marital sparring that made the first one so good.

    Mrs. Topper (Billie Burke) is seeking a divorce because Topper and Marion had stayed at a hotel together in the first film. Slim plot device then has the Mrs. heading to France for a quickie divorce where she falls among thieves: her "friend" and a phony baron. Topper and Marion head to France to stop the divorce and foil the setup.

    Roland Young is still very good with his blank face and funny body movements (when the invisible Marion is prodding him). But there's just too much talk in this one. Bennett is as always beautiful and breezy. Burke is hilarious as the dithery Mrs. Topper in a way that no one else could copy. Alan Mowbray is back in the thankless butler role as is Spencer Charters as the judge.

    Verree Teasdale plays the acid friend, Alex D'Arcy the faux baron, and Franklin Pangborn is the French hotel manager. Grant appears via flashback from the original film, but his absence is not well explained. Asta (the dog) is funny too.

    Not a bad film but it could have been funnier.

    Ghostly Encounters--Act Two

    Cosmo TOPPER TAKES A TRIP--with ghostly Marion Kerby and dead dog Atlas--to the French Riviera in hopes of winning back the estranged Mrs. Topper.

    Hal Roach Studios presents more of the adventures of Topper in this follow-up to their previous comedy success. Many of the comic situations are highly reminiscent of the first film, but they are still funny and enough new material has been added to engage and hold the viewer's attention.

    Roland Young & Billie Burke return as the Toppers and they are still a delight--Mr. Young owlish & serious in the silliest of situations and Miss Burke forever sweetly vague and befuddled. Gorgeous Constance Bennett, as ghostess Marion, remains free-spirited in her (unwelcome) attempts to help Cosmo out of his latest pickle. Somber Alan Mowbray is also back--and in top form--as the Toppers' devout butler.

    Some new costars are on hand to help liven things up: Verree Teasdale plays Mrs. Topper's catty friend; Franklin Pangborn is the oleaginous manager of the Hotel St. Pierre; and suave Alexander D'Arcy provides some laughs as a gigolo baron intent on acquiring Miss Burke's money.

    Movie mavens will recognize George Davis as a temperamental porter and Paul Porcasi as a suspicious casino manager, both uncredited. Atlas is played by that remarkable canine thespian, Asta. Cary Grant appears only in footage lifted from the first film.

    A couple of scenes in particular are worth waiting for--the first when Topper, with invisible ghostly help, breaks the bank at the French casino's roulette wheel; the second comes when D'Arcy is subjected to humiliating indignities on the beach, courtesy of Miss Bennett and Asta.

    This was the second of a 3-film series, coming after TOPPER (1937) and followed by TOPPER RETURNS (1941).

    He Had NO Sand in His Shorts!

    This sequel to the funny Topper lacks the entire sophistication of that film yet is able to stand all by itself as a worthy successor based on the performance of Roland Young once again playing the amusing, befuddled Cosmo Topper - he who sees dead people way before it became fashionable by The Sixth Sense and on a cast of wonderful character actors doing their "bit." Topper Takes a Trip does have some major flaws; however. The film opens with Young in a courtroom going through divorce proceedings from his even more befuddled wife Billie Burke. Topper explains to the courtroom how he was befriended by the ghosts of Constance Bennet and Cary Grant(who could not join his former cast-mates because he was now too big a star but magnanimously agreed to allow them to use footage from the original - Swell Guy!). This whole beginning seems very forced as it tries to make sure that all is explained in case you missed the first film. Once they get out of the courtroom, Topper and one ghost and her ghostly dog go on a drinking binge and discover that Mrs. Topper's best friend has taken her to Paris to try and get her hooked up with a Baron there. Topper and companions follow and the laughs go from a trickle to an avalanche at times as Young does all kinds of crazy things with the aid of his spectral friend. The hotel is headed by Franklin Pangborn whose performance really is a comic treat. Pangborn made me laugh so hard with that sardonic look and witticisms. Butler Alan Mowbray follows and adds a fine turn as the Topper's butler. The rest of the cast is also suitably funny. It is important to remember just how influential these films were in this little sub-genre and that the special effects used were state-of-the-art at the time(Oscar nominated in this case. Many scenes stand out for me as truly masterful bits of comedic timing: Young dancing with a ghost on the dance floor, Alexander D'Arcy(the Baron) being bulldozed by a huge beach ball while shortless in the sand, and Young being cramped in his small room standing out particularly.

      Skippy already was famous, having appeared in over a dozen films before this movie. His leap to fame came in 1934 as Asta in Mordsache Dünner Mann (1934). The wire fox terrier spawned a demand for the breed in the thirties. He reprised the Asta role in 4 more Thin Man movies, and he played George in Leoparden küßt man nicht (1938), supporting Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant.

      When Topper loses control while driving the sports car, he is seen in closeup, then in long shot careening up a hill, between trees. It is obvious that it is not Roland Young, because he is bald, and the stunt driver has dark hair.
