Featured review
We find Mrs. Topper (Billie Burke) is going to get a divorce due to catching her hubby with a woman that is not a woman, Marion Kerby (Constance Bennett.) or at least she is being pushed into thinking she wants a divorce by a so-called friend of whom has a nefarious purpose of her own. Toppy must go after his wife and woo her back.
The storyline is weak and the acting trite. There is a defiant lack of comedy or even credulity. There are countless counts and an unbelievable scheme. Oh yes, Cary grant is replaced by Skippy.
On the plus side, Cosmo Topper (Roland Young) does a great job of being pushed around by the invisible. And Alan Mowbray the bad guy in "Charlie Chan in London" made a believable butler. "Now you are holding the door open for me."

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSkippy already was famous, having appeared in over a dozen films before this movie. His leap to fame came in 1934 as Asta in The Thin Man (1934). The wire fox terrier spawned a demand for the breed in the thirties. He reprised the Asta role in 4 more Thin Man movies, and he played George in Bringing Up Baby (1938), supporting Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant.
- GoofsWhen Topper loses control while driving the sports car, he is seen in closeup, then in long shot careening up a hill, between trees. It is obvious that it is not Roland Young, because he is bald, and the stunt driver has dark hair.
- Quotes

Mrs. Topper: In jail? What for?
Wilkins: Disturbing the peace, malicious destruction and common drunkenness, Madam.
