The Invader (1935 film)
The Invader is a 1935 British comedy film directed by Adrian Brunel and starring Buster Keaton, Lupita Tovar, and Lyn Harding.The film follows the same plot as its remake Pest from the West (1939), with a millionaire setting out to win a local girl in Mexico.Hoffberg offered An Old Spanish Custom at much lower rates than Keaton's MGM features had commanded, which attracted attention from independent distributors in America."This will do in undiscriminating nabes (neighborhood theaters) as feature support," reported The Exhibitor, "Comedy lies in Keaton's attempts to acclimate self to Old Spain—dancing, serenading, dueling—in simple awkward style.[6] Film Daily noted: "Despite poor performances by the principal players, with the exception of Buster Keaton, and a creaky story, this British production provides some laughs and is okay for the pop houses.
