(40,416 posts)With Leo G. Carroll, Lee Patrick, and Robert Sterling (the latter who was married to Jeffreys for much of her professional life).
Of course, one cannot forget Neil, the alcoholic Saint Bernard. Martinis are his choice.

(40,416 posts)Neil was the star, for me. Although I liked how Anne Jeffreys addressed Cosmo Topper as "Toppy".
And Leo G. Carroll was, as always, perfection.
BTW, I was about the same age.
Lee Patrick played Sam Spades' devoted secretary, Effy, in The Maltese Falcon. A different role than her in Topper.
