"Popeye" crosses the line between good mainstream film and becoming a cult classic. Robin Williams is excellent as Popeye, but the real star here is Shelley Duvall. She IS Olive Oyl. She steals the movie. The mistake I think filmmakers made was making this a musical. That really wasn't neccesary. Robert Altman's direction is right on, but takes the material a little too seriously and a little too dark for a comic book tale. Still, the movie lives on with a loyal following.
