I Felt Sorry For The Car

There are a few good gags early on but overall, this is not one of the better Popeye cartoons.

Popeye's new car looks great, has a unique engine and a very unique horn. Those sight gags are funny. But then he takes Olive out for a spin and immediately, she wants to learn how to drive and threatens to leave him, if he won't. Like a wuss, he relents - he always did with Olive. Imagine anyone, however, even Popeye, giving someone the wheel of a brand new car when they haven't a clue how to drive. You know what's going to happen to the poor car.

Plus, nobody is dumb enough to say and act like Olive does in here. Usually, she may be fickle and demanding but she's not stupid. In this cartoon, she's stupid, and so is Popeye. The gags are really not funny nor is the ending clever.

You have to at least give Popeye credit for incredible patience and forgiveness, far beyond the call of duty.

Trivia
Popeye's car's "floating power" is a reference to a technology developed by Chrysler and used on its cars in the 1930s. It was a new means of attaching an engine to its chassis, with the intention of reducing vibration. 4-cylinder engines of the day started and rode rather roughly, transmitting the torque to the whole chassis. By attaching the engine at only two points, defining an axis that passes through the engine's center of mass, the engine was able to rotate slightly about this axis and reduce the transmission of vibration to the chassis.

Goofs
When Popeye says, "Olive, this is a new car. Foist, I has to break it in!" his mouth continues to move afterward. Apparently, a word was deleted.
