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 entrances 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.
