The Milky Way is a charming, yet hilarious comedy centered on shy milkman Burleigh Sullivan (Harold Lloyd), who appears to have knocked out boxing champ Speed McFarland (William Gargan) and his sparring partner in a brawl over Burleigh's sister. In truth, Burleigh simply ducked the men's punches, and they knocked each other out. But the newspaper got wind of the story, and now Burleigh is being heralded as a hero. In an attempt to salvage the champ's career, the fight manager convinces Burleigh to fight in a series of fixed matches that end in a title fight he must lose to Speed McFarland. But making a wiry wimp like Burleigh appear to be a boxing champ won't be easy! (Echo Bridge Entertainment)

A very brisk and funny slapstick, which already has sound, and uses all the possibilities it has to offer - from the abundance of verbal humor to effects like horse neighing or boxing to the rhythm of the music. I had a lot of fun and Harold Lloyd didn't disappoint me. What disappointed me, however, was the truly ugly picture and sound on the DVD from KaB Music.
