Cosmo, a banker stuck in a rut, buys a car on a whim, despite being the car in which a young couple died in a few months before after crashing into a tree.

Little does he know, but the car is haunted by the dead couple, and soon the three are having a whale of a time. Topper escapes from his humdrum life (and wife), spends most of his time excessively drunk, getting into trouble and hanging around with a lot of dead people - and Oscar the dog.

I do vaguely remember the film with Cary Grant and I can just imagine the special effects being created for this - such as when Oscar can only (back) half appears.

Think the book would best be described as "screwball" which is a type of book - and film - which has fallen out of fashion, especially in early 21st century England. We like our humour different now I think. Whilst mildly amusing, this is not the funniest book I've read

Had to DNF. Too difficult to get into with the writing and too slow in the beginning. Not intrigued enough.

Very funny story of how some mythical gods cause havoc in New York when they come to life.

A film starring Constance Bennett and Cary Grant (MGM, 1937).

Two ghosts decide to haunt a man for his own good.

C+ (Okay).

Despite the billing, this is not a Cary Grant movie. It's a Roland Young movie. He's good with the handful of physical gags, but his screen persona is too dull to carry an entire movie.

(Oct. 2022).
