Nonetheless, Langdon&#8217;s uniquely hapless persona lends itself well to the series of mishaps he encounters while on his cross-country journey to California: when he finds himself hanging precariously over a deep precipice, for instance, we know that the only way he&#8217;ll get out of his dilemma is &#8212; despite his best (counterproductive) efforts &#8212; through sheer, dumb luck. My favorite scene is an early one, when Langdon meets the love of his life (Crawford) in person for the first time, and doesn&#8217;t quite know what to do with himself. Watch for the creepy final scene, in which Langdon is allowed to make explicit fun of his &#8220;baby-face&#8221; image. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> <em>Tramp, Tramp, Tramp<\/em> is noteworthy for providing Joan Crawford with one of her earliest significant roles; fun use is made of her soon-to-be larger-than-life persona through her presence in a series of posters.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Langdon&#8217;s &#8220;meet-cute&#8221; with Crawford<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Meet-Cute.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Meet-Cute.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"352\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Meet-Cute.png 448w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Meet-Cute-128x100.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Meet-Cute-300x235.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Several amusing sight gags<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Poster.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Poster.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"352\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Poster.png 448w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Poster-128x100.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Poster-300x235.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Gun.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Gun.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"352\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Gun.png 448w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Gun-128x100.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Gun-300x235.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Precipice.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Precipice.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"352\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Precipice.png 448w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Precipice-128x100.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-Precipice-300x235.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, though it&#8217;s worth a look simply as Langdon&#8217;s first feature film. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0017483\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/movies.nytimes.com\/movie\/review?res=9507E0D91E30EF3ABC4C51DFB366838D639EDE\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thespinningimage.co.uk\/cultfilms\/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=5324&#038;aff=13\">Spinning Image Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/silent-volume.blogspot.com\/2009\/08\/tramp-tramp-tramp-1926.html\">Silent Volume Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/movies.tvguide.com\/tramp-tramp-tramp\/review\/133103\">TV Guide Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/movies\/tramp-tramp-tramp\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll get the money in three months if it takes a year.&#8221; Synopsis: The son (Harry Langdon) of a struggling shoemaker (Alec B.
