Popeye is now far less cocksure: after his countless adulterous flings, he is now humiliated by his wife who openly cheats on him. Moreover, while he claims to be the manager of a ski shop, it soon becomes clear that his wife and her ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
