THREE'S A CROWD feels like Harry Langdon's answer to THE KID. It involves a poor man taking in a woman and her baby during the dead of winter. While the film lacks the grace of THE KID and the editing is borderline atrocious, the actual acting and story are not so terrible. The ending in particular is quite emotional and dark, yet it isn't bleak or nihilistic.
