Windbag the Sailor is a 1936 British comedy film directed by William Beaudine and starring Will Hay.

His tall tales catch him out when he is conned into commanding the unseaworthy Rob Roy to the West Indies by a gang of criminals who mean to scuttle the ship for the insurance money.

Cutlet gets the upper hand however when he and his companions fall in with West Indian natives who mistake their radio set for a god.

Writing for The Spectator in 1937, Graham Greene gave the film a good review, recommending it to "those under sixteen".

Greene praised Beaudine for his "admirabl[e] direct[ion]", and noted that Hay "has never had a better part than that of Captain Ben Cutlett".
