*"Yankee Doodle in Berlin is a 1919 American silent comedy and World War I propaganda film from producer Mack Sennett. It was Sennett's most expensive production up to that time. Hiram Abrams was the original State's Rights marketer before the film's release, but producer Sol Lesser bought the rights in March 1919. The film was later condensed for re-release and titled The Kaiser's Last Squeal.


Bothwell Browne, the film's star, was a famous cross-dresser from Northern Europe. At the time this film 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).

 

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."
