The Crystal Brawl (1957)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Popeye and Olive Oyl are supposed to go on a date but Bluto tells her a lie and ends up taking her to the local fair. Once there they go to have their future told but what they don't realize is that it's Popeye telling it.
THE CRYSTAL BRAWL is another 1950's Popeye short where previous episodes are used to tell the story. This one here takes from two previous shorts and I've always said that it's hard to really enjoy them when they're edited and taken out of their original context. With that said, this here isn't too bad as there are a couple good fight scenes and some laughs. The highlight is certainly from the first short where we see Bluto chasing Olive Oyl up, down and through some mountains.
