Yankee Fakir is a 1947 American comedy mystery film directed and produced by W. Lee Wilder and written by Richard S. Conway from a story by Mindret Lord.
The film stars Douglas Fowley, Joan Woodbury, Clem Bevans, Ransom M. Sherman, Frank Reicher and Marc Lawrence.
[1][2][3] Two peddlers, Mergatroyd Barthlomew "Yankee" Davis and Professor Newton, discover a smuggling operation in the fictional town of Mystic, Arizona.
General production values are par with the mediocre scripting with nothing special to commend in either its thesping, direction or camera work. ...
Clem Bevans, as a vagrant posing as a millionaire, also registers with a competent performance while Joan Woodbury, as the heart interest, is a nice looker, but not given much to do.
