Behind the scenes

  • Popeye owns a lifebuoy from the sunken Titanic.
  • Even though Polly's mouth moves at the end, her own distinctive voice doesn't come through.

Errors

  • Popeye's parents aren't mentioned.
  • When Dee Dee says to Olive, "Oh, what a romantic story. Popeye must have really loved you," it comes out of Olive's mouth.
  • Despite Dee Dee helping bring Popeye and Olive back together, she is oddly absent when everyone's at Wimpy's.
