Buzz Classic Movies features a retro comedy this week with a Saturday night showing of “Topper,” starring Cary Grant.
The 1937 film has earned an 87% “fresh” rating from the critics based on 17 reviews, and an 80% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes’ “Popcornmeter” based on more than 2,500 ratings.
“George (Cary Grant) and Marion Kerby (Constance Bennett) are a young, happy-go-lucky couple who love to party,” says the Rotten Tomatoes summary of the movie. “But after a car accident kills them both, they discover that they haven’t done enough good deeds to earn a trip to heaven. To remedy this problem, they decide to help their old uptight boss, Cosmo Topper (Roland Young), live a little. While Topper begins to take their ghostly advice and enjoy life for a change, his controlling wife finds her husband’s laid-back behavior infuriating.
“Topper” streams at 8 p.m. Saturday on The Signal’s streaming channel, The Buzz, available at buzzscv.com as well as streaming platforms including Roku and Apple TV.
