Reviews:
"I often watch films like this with a real sense of detachment. It isn't that I don't enjoy them; it's that they seem dated and irrelevant to me. The cast of this film doesn't let that happen. First of all, everything is played tongue-in-cheek. Except for the bad guys, who are themselves parodies of humorlessness and the leading lady, everyone is a viable character. From Topper to his wife (Billie Burke, the good witch in "The Wizard of Oz; she is wonderful as the flighty matriarch); from Joan Blondell, the ghost, seeking the reason for her death; to Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, who actually makes a reference to working for Mr. Bennyand keeps finding himself falling down a well where there is a sea lion; to the terrific slow burns of the police detective. It all works wonderfully. I know it's not one of the great comedies of the century, but I laughed out loud several times, even though I was watching alone. This is a delight and not to be missed."-Written by Hitchcoc on IMDb.com

Did Eddie ever get an Oscar? He deserves one!!!

[@avondalemama470]

My grandfather loved Mr. Eddie Rochester. I wasn’t aware of these films, but so glad I found them. 😊

[@voyaristika5673]

I love these old Topper movies. Roland Young was so good at acting body movements as though someone were manipulating him. The drunk scene in the original Topper was so good. Thank you for posting!

[@jackih2011]

I'm a fan of all three Topper movies! The whole cast is so funny, especially Eddie Rochester! Eddie is like, oh no..footprints in the snow! Forget that! I'm getting out, like NOW! LOL! ...I love seeing the movie in color because you get to see Carole and Joan's outfits, the furniture, the chandeliers everything!

[@michellefalleur960]

I completely agree ! x

[@SuziQ.]

I love Billie Burke in the films.

[@jackih2011]

Yes! I'm a Billie Burke fan for sure! 😊

[@phylis3917]

When “Rochester” and the seal. I cried. Hilarious

[@jogalbreath5216]

Thanks for the colorized upload! If Eddie Rochester did win an oscar, it probably came with 'It's A Mad, Mad World'...

[@goombabear]

"Mr. Taaah" Eddie Rochester is hysterical.

[@rosethorns1893]

Lol. When Eddy said he was going back to work for Mr. Benny. Does anyone remember the Jack Benny show with his personal butler named Rochester?

[@1949LA-ARCH]

Don Wilson was the announcer 😊

Yes. I'm 39.

Topper was also a tv sitcom in the early 1950s.

[@kenowens9021]

One of the few times a sequel was better than the original.

[@dylantyt6654]

This is actually the trilogy or threequel

[@kenowens9021]

@@dylantyt6654 The second movie was the funniest.

[@scottmalchow3428]

Excellent Special effects for the ghosts. "Eddie Rochester" played his usual wonderful bit part as a comedian negro afraid of anything supernatural. This has nothing to do with real life and everything to do with with expectations about how others might perceive it. I love this rendition of this!

[@bettygoins3581]

I grew up watching these movies brings back good child hood memories

[@MissouriPenny]

This was fantastic .watching January 2024

[@ritataylor324]

❤ love this movie!!!! Totally spectacular and spooky 👻. Great actors. Her friend helps her after she dies. Lots of comedy. Love the color.😂😂😂😂😂😂

❤ image a driver wearing a fur coat!!!! Love topper climbing up into a window of a spooky house wow.

[@braydensmith-cq1kt]

the best was that he slept in that fur lol !!

[@jspyrogram]

Toppers wife is Glenda, the good witch in The Wizard of Oz!

[@dylantyt6654]

Yes

[@winonamassingill7895]

I love ❤️ Rochesters voice. I could listen to him talk all day. He was with Jack Benny. I love the one where the thief demands of Jack, your life. Jack hesitates and the thieve tells Jack that he’s waiting and Jack replies, I’m thinking 🤔. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@barbarastrayhorn4667]

Watched that growing up. So funny.

[@edwardstauffer2096]

Jack Benny and Uncle Milton!!! We where the first in town to get a TV! BOX WEIGHT A TON WITH A 6 ONCH SCREEN!!!

[@1949LA-ARCH]

Hal Roach studio’s fantastic 😊Thanks for the color version, funny movie 😂

[@MTB214]

Thanks for sharing! I’ve never seen this in color before. It gives a different feel to it.

[@notpurrfect6397]

Love this in b&w. Thanks for uploading colour version.

[@garygone5234]

Cute flick. Thank you.

[@marypatten9655]

Loved the cars, the shape of the phones and the fur coats of the old days. People sure are silly letting a bunch of vegans tell them not to wear leather or fur. All that garbage to push their vegan agenda. Enjoy this great old movie. Thank you for sharing. God bless.

[@ggeorge4144]

Everything back then was awesome. Cars with incredible style, gorgeous women who did not need fake boobs, and no need for vulgar language. The woke agenda is destroying society.

[@user-im6yg7zn8x]

This is the first and only film Ive seen with Carole Landis, the blonde actress co-starring in this movie.

[@arlynpage7491]

I’m partial to Sonja Henie films (Norwegian ice skater who won Gold medals in 3 consecutive Olympic Games then came to the US to make films- Always had skating numbers in them) and have the DVD of WINTERTIME (1943) in which Carol Landis co-starred with Sonja and the Fantastic Cesar Romero as his singing partner and wannabe love interest. She was wonderful and did her own singing. It’s a Great film and well worth watching . B & W.

[@raymeedc]

~ Always liked Joan Blondell a Lot, my favorite second lead/B film actress of the time 👌

[@mariamarisi6154]

Thank you for the great movie. ❤

[@annhinson5670]

That was a fun movie! Loved the chauffeur! I'd never seen an early flick with Joan Blondell. Very attractive young woman. The actress who played Mrs Topper sounded very much like the same actress who played the good witch of the North in wizard of Oz. Does anyone know if it was her?

[@ewunderman]

Yes. Billie Burke.

[@marthabishop1455]

Yes it was Billie Burke

[@thebigdog2295]

Uh Oh danger ahead, two of em. 😅😂🤣

[@SpaceCadete101]

[@user-lm4eu2mr4l]

I love this man,. I would love to spend some hours just talking with him.

[@MitziJaxon]

I’m sorry but I can’t understand why some of you are thankful for the colour when it’s so very ‘off point”! It seems to be so muddy in places However, I am enjoying this slightly strange but intriguing film/movie sooo, thanks 😍

Funniest movie!

[@Elainerulesutube]

Notice when the victim is murdered, there is no blood.

[@juliemerritt5144]

Elaine Evan's remember it is Hollywood, not real life.

[@mainstreetsaint36]

The Hayes code was in full effect at this point. Blood was absolutely not allowed on screen.

[@juliemerritt5144]

@Elaineerulesutube That is 40s Hollywood.

[@marypatten9655]

Back in the day they did not need to excite the blood lust of the audiance to make a great show.

[@winonamassingill7895]

I think of those advertisements for something that has a cute little black boy shyly digging his toe in the dirt and saying Yasair I likes watermelon 🍉 It was cute but now that I look back and think about it, I think how the black people must have felt about it. I wonder how many of them thought it was as cute as we did? 🤔🤔🤔😢😢😢

[@im1who84u]

43:25 Oh, so now the phone is working?

[@afaceinthecrowd3652]

I don't quite think this is "film noir" as indicated above with the #. Do you agree, Eddie Muller? A competent comedy-mystery is more like it.

[@flashgordon6238]

Couldn't watch due to the bad and fluctuating colorization. It was making me dizzy.

[@edwardstauffer2096]

GOOD!!!!!

[@irish66]

Colourized movies i have glimpsed at for the most part suffer from the same flaw, the colour on people;s faces is very bad.

[@edwardstauffer2096]

IT WAS AS COOL AS SLICE BREAD!!!! LOL
