Beach Peach

Olive Oyl, in her Famous Studios' glamour girl mode, visits the beach where a handsome hunk, in the Famous Studios' handsome hunk mold, is the lifeguard. So you know sparks will fly between them and that poor Popeye will be in trouble. This is a great cartoon featuring romance and laughs, such as the tattoos on the lifeguard's chest blasting Popeye across the beach, Olive's wild skiing experience, and Popeye administering "artificial perspiration". "

A summer delight! One of my favorites since I was growing up. Some fans think the lifeguard is a beardless blond Bluto, other fans say he's a different guy entirely, but he DEFINITELY had a Gordonian (as in MacRae) quality to his looks, and I liked how Olive came on to him, "Oooh, Mister Lifeguard!" You get the feeling the raven-haired cutie would have wound up with him if he didn't pull his swimming-pool stunt. A definite 5-canner!"
