Yanks Ahoy (1943)
Member Rating:
Yanks Ahoy was the last of a series of Hal Roach "streamliners" teaming William Tracy as Sgt. Doubleday, he of the photographic memory, and Joe Sawyer as long-suffering Sgt. Ames. This time, our heroes are at sea, messing up the Navy with the same efficiency with which they screwed up the army. The climax finds Doubleday and Ames capturing a two-man Japanese submarine with a presumably very strong fishing line. James Finlayson, who a few decades earlier had been one of Hal Roach's top comedy stars, has a two-line bit as the ship's cook. Running 46 minutes, Yanks Ahoy has been released to TV in tandem with another Tracy-Sawyer streamliner, the 48-minute Fall In. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- Starring:
- William Tracy, Joe Sawyer, (more)
