Tramp, Tramp, Tramp (1926)
Langdon’s just not funny. The camera does a lot of staring at Langdon when he’s not doing anything. A Chaplin-wannabe. How did he even get the chance to act, much less become famous? Featuring James Cromwell as the Dad. Like The Freshman, a lot of advanced music for its time.…
