Popeye 1980 poster

Popeye is a 1980 comedy film directed by the late Robert Altman and starring the late Robin Williams, the late Shelley Duvall, and the late Paul L. Smith. It is based off of the comic book character of the same name from Thimble Theatre.

Looking for the father (Ray Walston) who deserted him as a baby, a sailor named Popeye (Robin Williams) journeys to the port town of Sweethaven. Popeye befriends an assortment of eccentrics and falls in love with Olive Oyl (Shelley Duvall), who already has a suitor, the bully Bluto (Paul L. Smith). Popeye also discovers an abandoned baby, Swee'Pea, whom he raises as his own. But when the spurned Bluto kidnaps Olive and the child, Popeye takes action, with the help of his magic spinach.
