. . . IF it lived up to its title more. I watched this Popeye cartoon from beginning to end TWICE, and only saw a single firearm. The use of this gat raises some questions about the title valley's population. In every previous stick-up I've seen committed to film, the perpetrator uses his heat to intimidate the robbery victim into surrendering their cash and\or other valuables. Those wayward souls foolhardy enough to have left their home castle sans an equalizer usually comply with the felon's request. If they refuse to cave in, they're often gunned down. Sometimes the bad guy(s) adopt a "leave no witnesses alive" attitude, and off even cooperating prey. However, in this TV show episode, the revolver wielder uses his weapon to force a big wad of bills upon an apparently unarmed fellow citizen! Surely, someone has a screw loose here! Usually I'm not so perplexed by this sort of fare. However, next time I have a chance to see THE VALLEY OF THE GUNS, I'll try to concentrate on the action even harder!
