An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Long Pants, the 1927 Frank Capra silent romantic love triangle slapstick comedy ("Longer and louder Langdon laughs!"; about a child-like man who has been kept in "short pants" by his parents all through his adolescence, but when they finally let him wear long pants, they expect him to marry his childhood sweetheart, but instead, he goes after a "fast" woman from the big city, and he has many misadventures with her, but through it all, his childhood sweetheart waits patiently by!) starring Harry Langdon, Gladys Brockwell, Alan Roscoe, Priscilla Bonner, and Alma Bennett, and Frankie Darro. Note that legendary director Frank Capra had gotten his start in 1924 when he was hired by Hal Roach as a gag writer. However, he wanted to become a director, and Roach refused, and Capra went to work for Mack Sennett, writing for Harry Langdon comedy shorts. In 1925, when Langdon left Sennett, Capra went with him, and he wrote several of Langdon's best comedies, including "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" and "The Strong Man", which Capra also directed. This movie, "Long Pants", was his next movie, but he was having a falling out with Langdon, and after this movie was completed, Langdon fired Capra, and decided to direct his own movies (like Charlie Chaplin), but those movies did poorly, while of course, Frank Capra soon went to Columbia, where he became their number one director, and he had a long string of massive hits in the 1930s and 1940s, including "It Happened One Night", "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town", and many others!
