THE MILKY WAY

Timid milkman, Burleigh Sullivan (Lloyd), somehow knocks out a boxing champ in a brawl. The fighter’s manager decides to build up the milkman’s reputation in a series of fixed fights and then have the champ beat him to regain his title.

Known as the “king of daredevil comedy,” Harold Lloyd ranks right up there with Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. And this was his greatest critical success in the realms of sound: A zippy comedy about a milkman who suddenly becomes a boxer, from the veteran comedy pioneer Leo McCarey.
