Happy Birthdaze (1943)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Popeye stumbles across a Navy man who is about to commit suicide so he intervenes and decides to throw the guy a birthday party. However, it soon hits Popeye why this guy has no friends and it's because he's very annoying.
HAPPY BIRTHDAZE isn't a very good episode but at the same time there are enough interesting bits to make it worth watching. I say that because there's really not a good pace or flow to the material and while there is a lot of action none of it is funny enough to really make much of an impact. The film will be enjoyed by fans of the series but others should start somewhere else.
