Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall on the set of Popeye (1980)

Shelley Duvall was put on this earth for one reason, to act in this movie. No performance has ever captured the essence of a character so completely before or since.
Everyone goes hard in this movie. A rare example of a nothing project that turns into tour de force act. It’s as if it was sculpted out of coke or something.
My family owned this movie on VHS. I grew up watching it multiple times a year. I’m really quite fond of it. I was shocked as an adult when I looked up reviews of it on RT to see how poorly it was received.
