. . . A PEARL FOR OLIVE OIL. The voice cast listing is incomplete, because the mustached bald jewelry store salesman is NOT matched with a vocal actor. Inexplicably, Popeye, Olive and the Sea H-word all are able to breathe and speak underwater here as easily as if they were shooting the breeze on a city sidewalk. Though the literal oyster beds may throw some of Today's viewers, such images were recent memories for the animators, who were brought up on similar live-action settings during scads of choreographer Busby Berkeley's pictures. However, if Mr. B. had animated this film, the oysters surely would have been twirling flags.
