Popeye (1980)

Popeye is a 1980 live action film directed by Robert Altman and starring Robin Williams as Popeye the Sailor Man and Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl. Its story follows Popeye's adventures as he arrives in the town of Sweethaven. I watched it on Paramount+.

Reviews are all over the place, and people seem to love it or hate it. I love it! Roger Ebert has a positive review.

  5. If I'd heard, I'd forgotten about that movie. I used to love watching Popeye cartoons as a kid.
