It was really fun!! Definitely a different vibe from the silent films - a lot of the humor was in patter-fast witty repartee, very 1930s - and it was so weird to actually hear him speak, at first, but still classically Harold Lloyd, in other ways.
Lloyd plays a mild-mannered milkman who gets recruited into a (unbeknownst to him, fixed) boxing career when, through a series of amusing incidents, the press gets the impression that he knocked out the world's reigning middleweight champion, twice— so you can imagine the opportunities for physical humor, there.
