As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

Trailer Unavailable













     The Milky Way
1936  NR  COMEDY  1h 28min
CAST— Harold Lloyd, Adolph Menjou, Verree Teasdale, Helen Mack, William Gargan, George Barbier, Dorothy Wilson, Lionel Stander
MUSIC— Tom Satterfield, Victor Young  DIRECTOR— Leo McCarey

     Harold Lloyd, that irrepressible four-eyes, turns in a surprisingly meager comedy. Lloyd, meek and humble milkman, lands himself in a scuffle where another man is knocked cold (this man just happens to be the middleweight champion of the world). Suddenly Mr. Milkman is a sensation, becoming a celebrity overnight. He is soon signed on to a contract to fight in the middleweight division. His status as a world famous boxer begins to go to his head and the timid milkman goes out the window, much to the chagrin of his loved ones. The plot promises laughs, especially with Lloyd on board but, alas, little is to be found in the comedic department, physical or otherwise.
OUR RATING— * ½
REMADE AS— The Kid from Brooklyn (1946)
