Lights...Camera...Action?- Movie Review- Topper


Topper and Topper Returns are classic comedies that are sure to be a haunting good time that your family is sure to love.


Topper
George (Cary Grant) and Marion Kerby (Constance Bennett) are a fun-loving couple. But when a car accident kills them both, and they become ghosts, they decide to shake up the stuffy lifestyle of George's boss, Cosmo Topper (Roland Young). While Topper begins to take their ghostly advice and enjoy life for a change, his wife finds her husband's laid-back behavior infuriating.

 
Topper Returns
A murder mystery of ghostly proportions. As Gail (Joan Blondell) and Ann (Carole Landis) make their way to Ann's family estate they hitch a ride with Cosmo Topper (Roland Young). Gail finds the mansion plenty spooky but is even more dismayed when she is killed by a frightening clocked figure. She reaches out to Topper, and they bumble along together to solve her murder.

Lights...Camera...Action?- Movie Review- Arsenic and Old Lace


This is an all time favorite of ours! Be prepared to laugh until you cry, Carry Grant does puts in an amazing performance like only he can! Get the popcorn (or pie *wink*) and settle in for a great movie!



Arsenic and Old Lace
On Halloween in a charming neighborhood in Brooklin Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) and Elaine Harper (Priscilla Lane), marry in secret avoiding reporters seeking a big story. The newlyweds return to their family homes to deliver the news before they go on their honeymoon, and that is where normal ends. Enter a cast of interesting characters. Things quickly get out of control, all too soon he soon discovers that insanity runs in his family (practically gallops) and.his charming aunts Abby and Martha are far from the exception. A brother who thinks he is Theodore Rosevelt, a cop playwright on his first beat, bodies in the basement, and one in the window seat and a maniac (we'll let you decide which brother that is) on the loose. Packed with laughs, Cary Grant expressions, murder, and mayhem oh yeah and pumpkins! After all, this is Halloween! (PS. huge fan of what the aunts hand out to trick-or-treaters!)
