Product Description
"The Milky Way" is considered by many to be Harold Lloyd's greatest talkie motion picture. This 1936 comedy stars Lloyd as a mild mannered milkman who accidentally knocks out the boxing Heavyweight Champion of the World after a street-side altercation which starts an unusual run for the title. The video also features a 22 minute 1962 television interview with Lloyd.

 A Couple of laughs, but nothing like "The Freshman" December 20, 2004
DoTell
The Milky Way is a Harold Lloyd 'talkie' (from Paramount). As a milkman, he inadvertently gets into a scrap with a boxer and promoter/manager, one evening, when Burleigh (Harold Lloyd) goes to meet his sister, after she gets off work.
This movie may get a laugh or two from you, if you're an HL fan,
but after that, there's just too much waiting/anticipating for Harold's next scene.
Now, unlike the silent "The Freshman", produced eleven years earlier, The Milky Way pales terribly in comparison, in the area of quality 'belly laughs', and also as a 'quantity' movie, having too many scenes without the silent era star. The Milky Way provided me with only a couple, if any laughs. Still, a fun movie to watch with family, but try to go with the older stuff, if you can find it.
