The Sea Squawk

1925 · 19 min Comedy
7.0 / 10 · TMDB

A Scottish immigrant on board ship becomes a pawn in a jewel heist aboard the S.S. Cognac, a three-star liner. Blackie Dawson, the uncrowned king of jewel thieves, and his accomplice Pearl Blackstone, have stolen a huge ruby. A detective is searching every cabin, so Blackie forces our young Scot to swallow the gem and, under threat of being shot, to stay mum. The detective is assisted by Flora Danube, a blue-eyed Bulgarian daisy who keeps those eyes open. To escape death, the young Scot disguises himself as a woman, but that draws a lot of attention; when his disguise is discovered, he must climb for his life. Is a European union in the offing?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs a farce on a classic contrast: an awkward everyman against glamorous criminals and vigilant detectives. He relies on the ship's confined spaces to escalate the absurd chase, exploring every deck and cabin for new comedic twists.

Those who tire of heavy plots will enjoy this whirlwind of disguises and misunderstandings, where the hero is trapped between a gunshot and exposure. What lingers after the credits is the cheerful dizziness of a well-executed silent romp. — MovieFinder Editorial
