A vintage French poster for ''Greven of Paris'', also known as "The Invader" in English-speaking countries, is a 1935 German comedy film directed by Augusto Genina, in which American silent film icon Buster Keaton played a notable role. The film is a part-talkie, combining both silent and sound sequences.
In "Greven of Paris," Buster Keaton plays the role of a Parisian cab driver named Joseph, who becomes embroiled in a series of comic misadventures. The film's plot revolves around a case of mistaken identity when Joseph is accidentally believed to be a wealthy baron, leading to a series of humorous situations and misunderstandings.
The film is notable for featuring Buster Keaton in a speaking role during the early sound era of cinema. Keaton's comedic talent and physical humor shine through in his performance as Joseph, as he navigates the challenges of pretending to be a baron and dealing with the consequences of his newfound identity.
"Greven of Paris" is characterized by its slapstick humor, farcical situations, and comedic misunderstandings, all of which are hallmarks of Buster Keaton's comedic style. While the film incorporates some sound sequences, it also includes silent-style physical comedy that was Keaton's trademark during the silent film era.
The film's setting in Paris provides a charming backdrop for the comedic antics, and it features typical Parisian scenes and locales of the time.
While "Greven of Paris" may not be as well-known as some of Buster Keaton's earlier silent classics, it offers a chance to see the iconic comedian in a later stage of his career during the transition to sound cinema. It remains a testament to Keaton's enduring comedic talent and ability to adapt to changing cinematic trends.
