| Popeye |
Altman's live action adaptation of E.C. Segar's
Popeye the Sailor Man may have confounded self-styled sophisticates on its first release but the film's merits - and pleasures - shouldn't be restricted to the kids.
Robin Williams' and Shelley Duvall's genius for gesture and mimicry find full expression in their characterisations of Popeye and Olive Oyl.
The film's production design is a visual treat, vividly bringing to the screen the ramshackle fishing town of Sweethaven in which the action is set. Imported print.
