Topper(1937)
For Cosmo and Clara Topper life revolves around being proper and up-standing people in society. However, when the ghosts of fun-loving George and Marion Kerby invade Cosmos perfectly ordered life, mayhem ensues. The Kerbys want to make over Topper so he will be more care free, but can they do it without ruining his life? For more about Topper and the Topper Blu-ray release, see Topper Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on September 8, 2019 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.0 out of 5. Director: Norman Z. McLeod Writers: Jack Jevne, Eric Hatch, Eddie Moran, Thorne Smith Starring: Cary Grant, Constance Bennett, Roland Young, Billie Burke, Alan Mowbray, Eugene Pallette Producers: Hal Roach, Milton H. Bren » See full cast & crew Topper Blu-ray, Video QualityTopper is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of MVD Visual and VCI with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.42:1. VCI's track record with its high definition output has been somewhat spotty, though I personally scored both Topper Takes a Trip and Topper Returns at least a bit higher than this. Unfortunately, this older release from VCI sports some of the encoding anomalies that have afflicted other releases, with kind of weird swirling patterns and near pixellation at times, with an uneven accounting of the grain field (look at screenshots 13 and 14 in full resolution for some examples, though several other screenshots also exhibit them, as around Roland Young's eyes in screenshot 2). What's a bit odd about grain in this presentation is how it almost cycles through various thicknesses; at times, things look filtered, almost video like, and then slowly but surely grain will reappear until it can become rather rough looking. It's almost as if some weird alogrithm was utilized that "managed" grain over select periods of time, and then (to borrow a phrase from a different activity) "rinsed and repeated". There are recurrent if minor signs of age related wear and tear and some noticeable fluctuations in brightness, though contrast is generally good and in shots not featuring opticals detail levels can be at least decent. Topper Blu-ray, Audio QualityTopper features a decent sounding LPCM 2.0 mono mix. Things are rather boxy throughout the presentation, and occasionally amplitude varies. There is some hiss evident. Dialogue makes it through the gauntlet without any major problems, though music can sound a bit on the tinny side at times. Trivia fans may recognize iconic composer Hoagy Carmichael at the piano (which looks amazingly like the "mini" keyboard played by Sam in Casablanca) in one scene (see screenshot 3).
