It was the end of an era.
After more than 20 years, Paramount Studios rolled out the last Popeye theatrical short in the summer of 1957, "Spooky Swabs". Paramount, of course, had distributed every one of the sailor's adventures, dating back to his days with the Fleischers.
Popeye (Jack Mercer) & Olive (Mae Questel) are stranded at sea until they happen across a 17th century ghost ship....
You might wonder how Popeye, in the 20th century, could eat a can of spinach that's roughly 300 years old. It's a cartoon. No need to wonder.
Rating: B.
