Topper (1937)
7/10
underrated

This movie doesn't seem to be as well known as some of other Cary Grant films and the other screwball comedies in the late 30s. This is from a good comedy director who also directed a Marx brothers and a W.C. Fields film. This was made before Grant was a main star and Constance Bennett has as much screen time as him. Bennett and Grant play a young married couple who are friends with Roland Young, who is Grant's boss at the bank and he is very shy and that is because of his wife, played by Billie Burke. Grant is driving down the road too fast and he and Bennett are killed immediately. They both became ghosts and they can become invisible anytime they want. They decide to help Young and wind up making his life better. It's a pretty good comedy and should be more well known.
