Tramp, Tramp, Tramp is a 1942 American comedy film directed by Charles Barton and starring Jackie Gleason, Jack Durant and Florence Rice.[1] The film's sets were designed by the studio's regular art director Lionel Banks. The production was an attempt to replicate the success of rival studio Universal's hit film Buck Privates, starring Abbott and Costello.[2]
