The Milky Way

(1936)Directed by Leo McCarey89 minComedy
“A fighting milkman who outfights and outsmarts everyone-including himself!”

Burleigh Sullivan (Harold Lloyd) is a timid milkman who gets caught up in a street brawl and somehow knocks out the boxing champion. Gabby Sloan (Adolphe Menjou), the champ's manager, sees a way to profit and builds the milkman up through a string of fixed fights, planning to put the title back where it belongs. Leo McCarey, a veteran of screen comedy, directs the whole thing at a bright, easy clip.
