The French Bluto A Real Hoot!
18 April 2007
Olive is being wooed by a Charles Boyer-type Frenchmen who is dishing out the compliments about how whatever woman (Olive thinks it's her, of course) is listening. Popeye is nearby getting annoyed hearing all this garbage. He's waiting to take her out to the movies, but she's more interesting in watching Bluto then comes by, spots what is happening through the open window (he was a terrible Peeping Tom) and is mad. "Why that runt got here before me," he says when he spots Popeye.

OIive is really entranced by the TV program host, called 'The Internationale," especially when the Frenchman says, "Stay at home tonight, ladies. You may be the lucky one, the woman 'The Internationale' comes by and takes you out." Bluto overhears this and, yes, he is going to pretend to be the guy from TV.

Bluto is hilarious impersonating the French guy and fooling the naive and dumb Olive. In fact, from that point on, this is an extremely funny cartoon with tons of sight gags. Popeye uses two cans of spinach to produce laughs.....and get Olive back from that fraud Bluto. It's the usual case, but sometimes Bluto is the finniest guy in the cartoon. That certainly is the case here.
