Topper,
Vol. 1
Following
the
success
of the
"Topper"
movies,
the
well-loved
characters
created
by
Thorne
Smith
were
brought
to life
on the
small
screen
from
1953-1956.
When the
ghosts
of
George
and
Marion
Kirby
return
to their
home
after
dying in
a skiing
accident,
they
discover
the
house is
now
occupied
by
uptight
banker
Cosmo
Topper
and his
wife.
Visible
only to
Cosmo,
the
Kirbys
cause
unending
trouble
in their
attempts
to teach
him to
enjoy
life.
One of
the
show's
young
screenwriters,
Stephen
Sondheim,
would go
on to
greater
fame as
lyricist
for such
major
musicals
as
"West
Side
Story."

episodes
contain
the
original
commercials.

settle
into
their
suite,
maniacal
laughter
haunts
the
couple,
forcing
Cosmo to
call on
the
Kirbys
to chase
away the
evil
spirits.

During a

Las
Vegas, a
casino
detective
mistakes

for a

cheat
and sets

at the
tables,
the

appear
to come
true.

woman is
an old

the
couple.
