Popeye

I'm dredging this review up from the past, but I think John's review deserves another look. He's absolutely right about this movie - it's a brilliant comic strip adaptation, one of the best ever and also one of Altman's best movies (only "the Long Goodbye" definitely ranks ahead of it for me.) Shelley Duvall makes almost every movie vastly better, and she's certainly in her element here.

The music is a wonderful distillation of the music from the original cartoons, many of which were short musicals themselves.

Here's hoping they give this one a special edition sometime soon.

Great review, John.
