Yankee Doodle in Berlin is a 1919 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.[1]
Bothwell Browne was a famous crossdresser from Northern Europe. At the time this movie was produced he was the European rival of famous American crossdresser Julian Eltinge who starred in very similar plotted World War I propaganda film The Isle of Love(originally Over the Rhine).
