Killing At The Pool
21 April 2024
Popeye and Bluto spot Olive Oyl at a swimming pool and apply to Wimpy for the open position of lifeguard. They compete for the job by beating each other up.

By this point, most of the Popeye movies had settled into a pattern of the sailor man and Bluto beating each other up, with Bluto winning until Popeye eats some spinach. Even so, the variety of ways of pummeling each other, the incidental gags that Dave Fleischer insisted on crowding into the cartoons, and the songs, with the music written by Fleischer family member Sammy Timberg, keep them enormously entertaining. This one is up to that high standard.
