Popeye
Director: Robert Altman Run Time: 114 min. Release Year: 1980
Starring: Bill Irwin, Paul Dooley, Paul L. Smith, Ray Walston, Robin Williams, Shelley Duvall
Only Altman could have made this messy and charming musical comedy film that was hailed as the worst picture of the year at the 1981 Stinkers Bad Movie Awards. Following the story of the classic comic strip character, Popeye (Williams) is a super-strong, spinach-scarfing sailor man who, on a quest to find his father, finds himself in the port town of Sweethaven. There he meets eccentric locals and falls in love with the zany and kind Olive Oyl (Duvall). [AD]
