The Milkman (1950)
10/10
Classic Slapstick Comedy
17 June 2020
I've watched a lot of O'Connor's earlier films, mostly the Peggy Ryan films, and while those are nice films, this comedy tops them. This movie has the perfect balance of slapstick comedy, suspense, and romance. It's fast paced but easy to follow, and it has a proper climax that ties up the loose ends very nicely. O'Connor and Durante play off each other beautifully, and their number "That's My Boy" showcased a small portion of O'Connor's rap abilities (although not like Singing in the Rain). I legitimately laughed out loud when O'Connor began his quaking too! Only problem was the parking of Durante and Joyce Holden, that age difference was a little creepy personally. But that's a very small part of the movie and doesn't ruin the fun at all.
