The film was adapted by Eric Hatch, Jack Jevne and Eddie Moran from the 1926 novel by Thorne Smith. It was produced by Hal Roach and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Topper was a huge hit with film audiences in the summer of 1937. Topper was the first black-and-white film to be digitally colorized, re-released in 1985 by Hal Roach Studios.
