I Don't Scare (1956)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Popeye and Olive Oyl are going out on a date but Bluto convinces her it's Friday the 13th and she's afraid of bad luck. After some chaos Olive ends up going on a date with Bluto, which isn't going to sit well with Popeye.
This Popeye short certainly isn't an awful film but at the same time it doesn't reach a very good level so it's really somewhat of a letdown. The best thing going for the film is its animation, which is of high quality. As far as the story goes, it's got a somewhat clever idea but there's really nothing overly fun done with it. The entire issue with broken mirrors and standing under ladders leads to some minor site gags but they're just not all that funny and the action level is rather low for a Popeye short.
