1h 54m
Directed by Robert Altman • 1980 • United States
Starring Robin Williams, Shelley Duvall, Paul L. Smith
Robert Altman brought his exuberantly chaotic experimental sensibility to this live-action version of the classic comic strip, featuring spot-on performances by Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall as the titular brawny sailorman and his lithe lady love, Olive Oyl, as well as seamlessly integrated songs by Harry Nilsson. Though its kooky brilliance went largely unappreciated upon its release, time has revealed this wonderfully weird, charmingly imaginative comic fantasy to be quintessential Altman.
