Long Pants (also known as Johnny Newcomer) is a 1927 American silent comedy film directed by Frank Capra and starring Harry Langdon.

Additional cast members include Gladys Brockwell, Alan Roscoe, and Priscilla Bonner.

Yet, Harry soon falls for Bebe Blair, a femme fatale from the big city who has a boyfriend in the mob.

But he becomes fixated on terminal "bad girl" Bebe Blair, temporarily stranded in town by a flat tire.

Harry's parents decide to counter Bebe's influence by marrying him off to the nice girl next door, Priscilla.

While Harry chases the dog, a stagehand places a realistic mannequin of a policeman atop the crate.

He wrote, "Some hilarious passages enliven Harry Langdon's latest film oddity, Long' Pants...Although these incidents are acted with consummate skill, except for an occasional repetition, it is quite obvious to any male who has made the decisive change from short to long trousers that the idea offers possibilities far greater and more genuine than those that greet the eye.

An acquired taste, Harry Langdon's gentle absurdities and slow rhythms take some getting used to, but patient viewers will be rewarded.
