Depending upon what picture he was in, French film personality Milton was described as a "famous singer" or a "famous comedian." It was as a singer that he starred in La Bande a Bouboule, the title of which translates as Bouboule's Gang. Critics carped that the story was "of no interest whatsoever," and indeed the plotline, involving romance and mistaken identity at a vacation resort, is only a peg on which to hang a passel of song solos. A brief sequence involving a bevy of bathing beauties was singled out for critical praise, but that was to be expected in 1932. La Bande a Bouboule was directed by the prolific Leon Mathot, who was in motion pictures when Milton was still in knee-pants. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The title of this French comedy can be liberally translated as Champion Gate Crasher. This dubious honor has been bestowed upon the publicity-seeking hero, played by Gallic vaudeville artist Milton. A humble street singer, Milton strives to improve his lot in life by crashing virtually every major social event that comes his way. While sitting in a fancy restaurant enjoying a meal which he can't possibly afford, Milton makes the acquaintance of fetching damsels Helen Perdriere and Helene Robert. The two ladies are crazy about sports, so Milton obligingly begins crashing boxing matches, six-day bicycle races and football matches. Inevitably, he impersonates a football player, winning the game and one of the girls in a single fell swoop. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
