@@OTRHALLOWEENHOLIDAZE I also love the scene where Cary Grant is driving with his feet and singing The Old Oaken Bucket, which devolves into singing about Topper -- "Iron-bound Topper, the moss-covered Topper that hung in the well." That just slays me. Cary and Constance both sang very well. And, teamed with Hoagland, what more could you want?

She could do it all... Drama, comedy... even musicals! (Check out "Moulin Rouge" (1934))... You know, I think that Constance Bennett, no matter what you may think of her, was undeniably elegance personified.
Old Man Moon wake up 'cause I've fallen in love So spread the news to all the stars above Shine for my baby while we're dancing tonight and fill her tender eyes with love and dynamite Old Man Moon put stardust in a bottle of wine just do your darndest to make sure that she'll be mine and if it's possible to keep shining till noon my sincerest thanks to you Old Man Moon
I love it, he wallops her in the head getting out of the car! The bandleader at the Rainbow Club waving his hand in a wild hello. Love the Hawaiian club with the slide entrance, ha. And finally Hoagy C at 2:40. Too fun! Thanks for the post. The Topper series is a hoot. :>)
Hoagy Carmichael had a cameo in this movie and Cary Grant add-libbed at the end „Bye Hoagy“, as he had often done in his movies. It‘s not in the script…
Cary Grant was not a bad dancer, in a funky sort of way, What surprises me is the Topper of Lewis G Carroll (TV) is something of a befuddled buffoon, while Grant's Topper is something of a sophisticate.
Take a closer look. Cary Grant is not Topper in this movie. He is the ghost of George Kirby who, along with his ghostly wife, haunts Topper. In both the TV version and the movie versions, Topper is the henpecked husband of a social climbing wife.
Style, !! something sadly missing in this day and age.
Definitely totally agree with you on that one
It's very dangerous to rest all of a sudden~
God, I will forever love this man. ;w;
So do I !!
I love this movie so much.
Always thought this had the best opening of a movie. Takes the same song and plays it so many different ways. Club scenes are awesome!

@@iamfelixthecat7233 Yes! Such a great and underrated movie. So many memorable scenes.
One of the best scenes and so underrated
Love Hoagy...he was so talented and came from "fertile jazz country" Indiana . I always love it when he shows up in old movies .
You just wonder how they just get it. Wish I had that gift. So much talent for growing up in the Midwest.

I love this scene and the music too. I love the way cary grant says "yeah" at the pianist. They look sooo cool, sexy and funny. Thanks!
Old Man Moon wake up
'cause I've fallen in love
So spread the news to all the stars above
Shine for my baby while we're dancing tonight

Old Man Moon put stardust in a bottle

and if it's possible to keep shining till noon
my sincerest thanks to you Old Man Moon
Ole Man Topper..ole man Cosmo...one ole old oak bucket....Cosmo Topper...
Thanks for the words ❤
One of the best 5 minute opening of any movie!
I totally agree! I loved it so much! I felt that magic fades away soon later! : /
Just Terrific .⭐💕👍
Topper!!!! What a fabulous movie, refreshing, and surprisingly funny ❤️
Can you imagine some nut named Cosmo.
im gonna watch this movie. just because i saw these few scenes. plus, a cameo with hoagy. gotta see this one.
Cosmo is a total riot. Billie Burke, Alan Mobray, Dagwood and others really make this 1937 classic and it's sequels damn funny.
Gentle George, deceitful george!
I love that movie nd I want that car.
That car is a classic and the movie!
Wonderful Scene ! 💖✨
Would love to go to all the places in this scene. Especially the one with the slide.
every dance band food group is in the first five minutes!!!
Ole Man Cosmo. Ole oaken Topper.
Why did this get recommended to me? Enjoyed it.
Glad it did though. Thanks for taking the time to watch.

Always thought it was a great movie on of my favorites!
@zenfox6 Yeah, I Could Just Imagine Walking Into Some Of These Clubs Especially The One With The Slide HA!
Funny as hell movie and sequels
This and the Awful Truth have always been favorites of mine.

@jazzworth The pianist is Hoagy Carmichael.
Where's a way-back machine when you need one?
If I ever get married, it needs to be just like this or why bother
wonderful time when People knew how to misbehave with style
Do you have the original song? I'd love to hear it. I saw this movie today and fell in love as soon as I heard it!
@TheStanbabe There are a couple of versions of this song on iTunes.
the Hawaiian guitar version is definitely the best...
@TheStanbabe
Not sure have not found one or have seen one anywhere. I do have a recording posted from Woody Herman.

Resting,is the sort of thing, you've got to work up to gradually.

LOL TOPPER MOVIE 1937
That guy need to shut up. Messing up the song
+dizzyne420
I know, right? I wanna hear that damn song!
I thought he provided marvelous syncopation to the words, which I'm sure the director intended.
I am trying to find the version with the quartet
