A British movie acquired by MGM, The Invader found Buster Keaton playing Leander Proudfoot, a millionaire who aims to win the heart of a local woman in the South of Spain. The romantic comedy is wholesome but too simplistic and eventually got overshadowed by its much better remake, a 1939 short film also starring Keaton titled Pest from the West. T...
Director Edward Sedgwick oversaw most of Buster Keaton's MGM movies, Doughboys being one of them. As is common with Keaton's gags, he takes a shot at the idle class as he plays a rich man accidentally recruited into the military. Beyond a standard love triangle, Doughboys doesn't do more than deliver a few laughs. Even though it's set in the final ...
It's difficult to sum up the premise of Buster Keaton’s only Mexican production. Boom in the Moon starts off with Keaton's World War II survivor relocating to Mexico. After he is mistaken for a killer, he's blasted off to the Moon where more cases of mistaken identity, this time involving aliens, occur. The plot attempts to mix genre tropes of war ...
A comedy of errors with a great ensemble, The Passionate Plumber stars Buster Keaton alongside fellow comedy icon Jimmy Durante and vaudeville legend Polly Moran. Keaton plays a Parisian plumber who is seeking financial aid for his new invention: a pistol with a range-finding light. When he somehow gets involved in an assassination attempt on a mil...
Buster Keaton's first leading role in a talkie found him in a meta-narrative as the MGM production revolved around Anita Page playing aspiring actress Elvira, who goes for a screen test at the very same movie studio. Posing as her manager and secretly falling for her, Keaton's Elmer perfectly evokes the shyness that his character requires. Given th...
The boxing movie genre provides ample space to explore comedic routines, especially for action-driven funny men like Buster Keaton. But with Keaton having made one of the best boxing comedies ever with Battling Butler in 1926, Sidewalks of New Yorkproved to be another MGM production lacking the energy of his earlier self-produced features. Keaton p...
Regardless of the dwindling quality of some of the MGM features, the duo of Buster Keaton and Jimmy Durante were as dynamic as ever. What-No Beer? is a case in point with the two comedians playing men who cash in on the end of the Prohibition era. As Keaton and Durante implement their "million-dollar idea" of selling watered-down beer to a thirsty ...
In Speak Easily, Buster Keaton plays a timid professor who falls so deeply in love with a dancer that he decides to finance her poorly written musical and take it all the way to Broadway. Thelma Todd is dashing as the performer while Jimmy Durante (now known for the Joker trailer song) delivers his usual wit as the manager of the dancing troupe. Ex...
The third talkie of Buster Keaton's career found him playing the best of both worlds. While he's introduced as one of his typically socially awkward characters, he becomes a Casanova as he undergoes a My Fair Lady-like transformation. The duality of his character is hilariously exemplified by Keaton, who despite his straight-face expressions manage...
Buster Keaton got his first starring role in a feature with The Saphead. While itshows the deadpan comedy maestro in a nascent stage, his performance was singled out by critics upon its release. Keaton's stillness and hollow-eyed expressions made him an unconventional leading man, going in tandem with his character, a rich brat indulging in gamblin...
