My favorite Popeye of all time!
I love this cartoon!! The song, Barnacle Bill the Sailor" is a favorite of mine and this is one of the few cartoons in the series where Olive Oyl gets her comeuppance. Although occasionally, Olive and Popeye treat each other as though they are truly in love, Olive all too often treats Popeye rather shabbily, in my view, and I've frequently wondered why he doesn't just quit seeing her. She can't seem to make up her mind between Bluto and Popeye, anyway. While I believe that a gentleman treats a lady like a lady even if she periodically doesn't behave like one (a man who does not act like a gentleman unless expressly requested to behave otherwise should be ignored), I also believe that constantly having the same woman throw one over in favor of the same clown indicates a permanent change of interests is of mutual benefit to all parties. It's a delightful short and the ending is a hoot! The army won't even know what hit them!
