Topper

I had read that he really developed the Cary Grant persona while filming The Awful Truth under Leo McCarey’s direction, but the change in him is really startling in viewing this film, made just a few months before Truth. It’s shocking how few of his trademarks are in evidence here. Well, there lies the interest in Topper for me. The film itself is not amazing or hilarious but for the most part the stars make the most of it.
