Interesting facts
Yankee Doodle in Berlin is a 1919 American silent comedy and World War I film from producer Mack Sennett. A five-reel feature, 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.
Background and production
The movie was filmed in November and December of 1918, and has been characterized as a lampoon of the "Hate the Hun propaganda films of the World War I years." Sennett described the film as a "satire of German militarism."
