Topper and Tarzan on TCM

Two classic movies that generated multiple movie and TV sequels air on Turner Classic Movies Sunday and Monday. Billie Burke (the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz) is hilarious in Topper as the title character's slightly spacy spouse, while gorgeous Maureen O'Sullivan establishes herself as the ideal Jane in Tarzan, the Ape Man.
