(CBS Primetime, 1953 - 1955; Rerun on ABC, 1956 - 1957; Rerun on NBC, 1956) [This charming fantasy was drawn from the original 1937 motion picture; The TV series starred Leo G. Carroll as the old- fashioned courtly but rather befuddled banker named Cosmo Topper who can see and hear the ghosts of former clients -- a young rich couple who died in a skiing accident, who seem to delight in getting into situations which embarass Topper; Their dog -- a ghost of a St. Bernard named Neil who seems to like finding, spilling and drinking alcohol -- also adds to the regular fracas; Topper's perpetually bewildered wife Henrietta was played by character actress Lee Patrick; The happy-go-lucky young couple who died too soon were played with cavalier charm by Robert Sterling and Anne Jeffreys]
