NOTHING SACRED (1937) 305 Another was Hal Roach's picturization of Thorne Smith's Topper, in which Roland Young played the title role. Constance Bennett, as a materialized ghost, contributed admirably to the general hilarity. The picture was directed by Norman McLeod and was replete with camera tricks— doors that opened by themselves; tools that changed tires; and, the best trick of all, Miss Bennett's taking a shower while she was invisible, with the water splashing off her invisible body. In this scene Miss Bennett has just materialized, to the dismay of Young of Virginia Sales. the horror BELOW Nothing Sacred was another of these comedies.
