Yankee Doodle in Berlin

Yankee Doodle in Berlin is a 1919 American silent comedy and World War I film from producer Mack Sennett.

At the time this movie was produced he was the European rival of famous American cross-dresser Julian Eltinge, who starred in very similar plotted World War I propaganda film The Isle of Love (original title Over the Rhine).

[4] Captain Bob White, an American aviator behind enemy lines, disguises himself as a woman in order to fool and steal an important map from the members of the German High Command, including the Kaiser himself.

[5] Movie distributor Lesser released the picture in tandem with The Mack Sennett Bathing Beauties in Why Beaches Are Popular (1919), a promotional short or trailer presented during vaudeville road shows featuring Bothwell Browne and the Sennett Bathing Beauties.

[6] Film historian Ruth Anne Dwyer notes that “the trailer was false advertising” as none of the Bathing Beauties appear in 5-reel feature Yankee Doodle in Berlin.
