Das blonde Gespenst (1937)

Das blonde Gespenst: Directed by Norman Z. McLeod. With Constance Bennett, Cary Grant, Roland Young, Billie Burke. A fun-loving couple, finding that they died and are now ghosts, decide to shake up the stuffy lifestyle of a friend of theirs.

“A carefree couple (Cary Grant, Constance Bennett) are killed in a car crash. They come back as ghosts to help their bank manager friend, Cosmo Topper (Roland Young), break out of his stuffy little rut and find happiness. I first saw this years ago and I remember being disappointed that Cary Grant isnu0026#39;t really the star of it, Roland Young is. This is probably the role Young is best remembered for, although itu0026#39;s very similar to some of his other roles. Namely that of a meek little man who mumbles and has funny deadpan reactions to things. Heu0026#39;s likable and easy to root for. For their parts, Grant and Bennett are a lot of fun. They sing u0026quot;Old Man Moonu0026quot; with Hoagy Carmichael in one delightful scene. The supporting cast includes Billie Burke, Alan Mowbray, and a very funny Eugene Palette. The film was a success and led to two sequels and a TV series. Itu0026#39;s a light screwball comedy with enjoyable performances and a good script. People expecting it to be a vehicle for Cary Grant might be disappointed but hopefully theyu0026#39;ll give it a shot anyway.”
