Visiting Popeye's village in Malta
by David Pescovitz from on (#56M5C)
In 1980, Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall starred in Popeye, director Robert Altman's live action musical comedy about the great sailor. Trailer below. The film is set in the fictional town of Sweethaven which was actually a wonderfully elaborate set built near the village of Melliea on the Mediterranean island of Malta. Forty years later, Sweethaven still stands and has become a popular tourist attraction. The Popeye Village even hosts weddings, birthday parties, school tours, and corporate team building experiences. Make sure you eat your spinach.
