Topper was made into at least two movies and a television series, which were fun in their own right, but had none of the risque goings on of the original book.
Cosmo Topper is a staid, respectable, wealthy banker, with a vague yearning for romance. Alas he is married to a wife who cherishes her dyspepsia more than she does him.
