Topper (1937)

In a world governed by order and predictability, Cosmo Topper, the staid bank president, finds his life turned upside down by the unexpected intervention of the mischievous Kerbys.

As jovial ghosts with a desire to break free from their spectral shackles, they embark on a mission to breathe life into Topper's monotonous existence. The effervescent Marion, with her flirtatious charm and spirited demeanor, takes a particular liking to their project, seeking to liberate Topper from his henpecked, dull life. As Topper gradually succumbs to the infectious liveliness of his ghostly companions, his conservative lifestyle begins to unravel, inviting unwelcome attention and scandal. Meanwhile, George, the once free-spirited half of the Kerby duo, finds himself battling the green-eyed monster as he watches Marion's growing fascination with their human subject. Will Topper be able to navigate the turbulence of spectral jealousy and maintain his newfound zest for life? And will Mrs. Topper, a woman of stringent propriety, find an unexpected fondness for her husband's scandalous transformation?
