VCI Entertainment Doubles-Up On Topper With Blu-ray Editions For Topper Takes A Trip And Topper Returns On Nov. 13


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Cosmo Topper doubles up on Nov. 13 as VCI Entertainment readies the two classic film sequels, Topper Takes a Trip and Topper Returns, for their Blu-ray rollout on that mid-November date.

VCI released the original Topper (1937), starring Cary Grant, Constance Bennett, Billie Burke and Roland Young on Blu-ray in August of 2017 and now the fun returns with the long-await follow-ups on Blu-ray.

Topper Takes a Trip was the 1938 sequel, once again featuring Constance Bennett as Marion Kerby and Roland Young as Cosmo, with Billie Burke as his wife.  Cary Grant bowed out (his career was in full blossom at this point).

The next film in the series, which was released in the spring of 1941, saw the return of Roland Young and Billie Burke as Cosmo and Clara Topper in Topper Returns.   This time out a murder victim — played by Joan Blondell — seeks out Topper to solve the mystery of her death.   Her friend, played by none other than Carole Landis, could be the next victim!
