WILL HAY IN WINDBAG THE SAILOR - 1936

Windbag the Sailor (1936) is a British comedy film directed by William Beaudine,
starring Will Hay in the title role. Ben Cutlet (Will Hay) is a sea captain who
entertains his bar room audience with tales of his days at sea, even though in
reality his maritime experience extends only to navigating a coal barge. His tall tales
catch him out when he is conned into commanding the Rob Roy, an unseaworthy
ship, to the West Indies by a gang of criminals who mean to scuttle the ship for the
insurance money.

The film marked the first appearance of the famous team of Hay, Moffatt and
Marriott.
