Tonight's Stinker Doctor Syn(1937) https://youtu.be/KVekeUEbrzc?si=GpdHKM5bmGDiabca The film opens with a group of pirates marooning a guy in blackface for his betrayal of Captain Clegg.... Twenty years later, there's a grave with his name on it outside a church run by Dr. Syn.... During a Sunday service, one of the parishioners gets a signal that revenuers are coming, & the service closes.... The revenuer is Capt. Collyer, who's been ordered to find smugglers.... He gets to chatting with the town's drunken doctor, who claims to have seen evil spirits around the marsh... Locals dismiss this as just the doctor being drunk, but the Captain believes these are the smugglers.... Dr. Syn & his gang must hastily change road signs to fool the soldiers..,.. But that's only the first problem.... The guy in blackface returns... The town's schoolteacher is the accountant for the gang, and starts getting nervous, while his least favorite student starts getting nosey.... This film is not very well lit in places, & the rapid fire English vernacular is kinda hard to keep up with... Still, it's an interesting take compared to the Disney version...
