Robert Altman brings the classic comic strip “Popeye” to life with a film that captures the essence of the spinach-loving sailor. Starring Robin Williams as Popeye, the movie follows his adventures after being cast from his ship during a storm and finding himself in a charming seaside town. Here, Popeye rents a room from the Oyl family and meets Olive (Shelley Duvall), who is engaged to the brutish Captain Bluto (Paul Smith), a tax collector for the enigmatic Commandant. Unknown to Popeye, his search for his long-lost father is about to conclude, as the shipwreck has unwittingly brought him near his goal. Altman’s signature style infuses the film with a relaxed, whimsical atmosphere, complemented by slapstick humor and a strong ensemble cast including Duvall, Paul Dooley, and David Arkin. Harry Nilsson’s playful soundtrack enhances the fun, making “Popeye” a delightful experience for families.
