I'm told by Google that I can't download this at this time - because too many people have already downloaded it.
Arranged and Conducted by Van Dyke Parks, Doug Dillard Banjo player, Klaus Voorman conductor.

Thanks anyway. Nice to see it anyway. Shelly Duvall and Robin Williams are spot on, but I can see why the film failed anyway. Interesting artifact.
Not as good as the original strip or the cartoon shorts.

Danke

Please try it again later and tell us how it went. Google has gradually changed the rules over time. I think it doesn't let you download unless you are signed onto Google. And now it apparently has a daily cap. Are we being slowly swallowed by a snake that looks like a capital "G"?

Working for me now. I saw about 20 minutes of this, years ago, and it didn't work for me for some reason mostly to do with decades of Popeye looking like the cartoon. I just couldn't accept it. Trying again now. Thanks Edfray.

Thanks for trying. People walked out of the theatre as I recall.

I didn't like it at first. Was disappointed, especially because I love Robin Williams and Harry Nilsson. However, my kids liked it. After repeated viewings with them, I have come to enjoy it. Admittedly (IMO), the writing and direction were a little sloppy, but I applaud the effort of the performers. Thanks

You are very welcome. Robert Altman was famous for being passive and letting actors have their way. Robin Williams ad-libbed a lot as they shot this film. It's hard for me to imagine what the film might have been without RW.
