Windjammer is a 1937 English-language Adventure Crime movie written by James Gruen, Roul Haig and Daniel Jarrett. The movie is directed by Ewing Scott and produced by George A. Hirliman and David Howard under the banner of George A. Hirliman Productions. The fourth and last of the George A. Hirliman-produced films starring George O'Brien (preceded by Daniel Boone, Park Avenue Logger and Hollywood Cowboy) that were distributed by RKO Radio. Hirliman sold O'Brien's contract to RKO, which then produced 18 series westerns starring O'Brien that ended when O'Brien went into the Navy at the outbreak of WW II. Long-time (past and future) O'Brien director David Howard served as Hirliman's Associate Producer on this film. Windjammer finds O'Brien as a subpoena server ordered to serve a subpoena on Brandon Evans (The Commondore) for a senate inquiry or lose his job. Posing as a playboy, he boards the Commodore's yacht during a yacht race, and the yacht is wrecked by a gun-running windjammer commanded by Captain Morgan (William Hall.) All hands are picked up by the windjammer, including the Commodore's daughter (played by Constance Worth, at her blonde, plumpish best) and put to work as galley slaves and such, but it isn't long before O'Brien starts knocking heads, and making the gun-runners wish they had left him swimming. Written by Les Adams. Windjammer features See Below in the lead role along with an ensemble cast including George O'brien, Constance Worth, William Hall, Brandon Evans, Gavin Gordon and Stanley Blystone. Cinematography was done by Frank B. Good and editing by Robert O. Crandall. The film has a running time of 60 minutes. It was released on 6th August 1937. Distribution rights for the film were acquired by RKO Radio Pictures.
