Popeye (1980 film)

Popeye is a 1980 American musical comedy film directed by Robert Altman. It is a live-action film adaptation of E. C. Segar's Popeye comic strip and stars Robin Williams as Popeye the Sailor Man and Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl.

The film premiered on December 6, 1980 in Los Angeles, California, to mixed reviews and disappointing box office. The film has since been released on DVD as well as digital download and Netflix instant streaming. Harry Nilsson's soundtrack received mostly positive reviews.

Plot

Popeye, a sailor, arrives at the small coastal town of Sweethaven ("Sweethaven—An Anthem") while searching for his long-lost father. He is immediately feared by the townsfolk simply because he is a stranger ("Blow Me Down"), and is accosted by a greedy taxman. He rents a room at the Oyl family's boarding house where the Oyls' daughter, Olive, is preparing for her engagement party. Her hand is promised to Captain Bluto, a powerful, perpetually angry bully who runs the town in the name of the mysterious Commodore. In the morning, Popeye visits the local diner for breakfast ("Everything Is Food") and demonstrates his strength as he brawls with a gang of provocative ruffians who give him and the other customers a hard time.

Popeye

Sadly
All of our business
Is the business
Of our dying here at home
And you ought to understand that
For the moment things
Sounds pretty good that way
I know nothing of consensus
But I'm pretty sure the message got
From Palestine to Rome
And your family doesn't live there
Since the wall and your old spotted dog came down
And shalalalala forget it
Shalalalala forget it
Shalalalala forever more
And shalalalala forget it
Shalalalala forget it
Shalalalala forever more
Can you feel me now
Can you feel it now
I am waiting for our parents
To arrive an hour or so from now
But they say that security
And the weather won't be decent anyhow
I've been looking through these pages
Of the diary that they made me keep in school
All the words were really awful
But this picture that I found of you was cool
And shalalalala you'll get it
Shalalalala forget it
Shalalalala forever more
And shalalalala you'll get it
Shalalalala forget it
Shalalalala forever more
Can you feel me now
