The Yankee Clipper (1927)


Cecil B. DeMille Pictures
Directed by Rupert Julian
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Flicker Alley)

American and English clippers race from China to Boston, the winner getting not only the tea trade but the other boat. American Captain William Boyd deals with a typhoon, a stowaway, a mutiny, and still manages time to fall in love with pretty English Lady Elinor Fair. The real star is the Yankee Clipper itself, though a miniature model is used in many scenes.
