TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Michael_Elliott Olive's $weep$take Ticket (1941) *** (out of 4)Olive tells Popeye that she has the winning sweepstakes ticket but she's lost it. This send Popeye on a wild chase trying to locate the ticket and then keeping up with it.OLIVE'S $SWEEP$TAKE TICKET isn't the greatest film in the animated series but it's at least entertaining enough to make it worth watching. As you'd expect there's some terrific animation throughout and there's also some clever humor as poor Popeye has to put his life in constant danger as he tries to find the ticket and keep it safe. There's a lot of fun animation here that makes this a winner.

ccthemovieman-1 The main gag in this Popeye cartoon is simply Olive and Popeye trying to find a winning sweepstakes ticket, with Popeye having to chase the elusive ticket (once it's found) all over the city and in the sea! Poor Popeye; the things he does for his friends, although - to be honest here - greed, not love, is motivating him. When Olive tells him she's searching for a winning sweepstakes ticket, our sailor man daydreams of living the rich life with chauffeurs, limousines and the works.This cartoon reminds me a feature film called "Twenty Bucks" where the viewers follow a twenty-dollar bill as it goes from hand-to-hand. Here, the ticket is taken by the wind, automobiles, fish - you name - it and Popeye has to think fast to keep up with it.You just know the payoff is not going to be what he and Olive assume it will be.....and it isn't! Overall, interesting because of the fast pace of Popeye chasing all over for the ticket but humor-wise, it's fair-at-best.

Robert Reynolds This short revolves around a winning sweepstake ticket bought by Olive. Popeye winds up chasing all over town to retrieve it, with hilarious results. The scene where Popeye is pretending to read a newspaper while trying to figure out just how to get the ticket off a very statuesque young lady without getting slapped into next month is priceless. The ending of this just goes to prove that true love is a most problematic thing and surely Popeye must be in love, to go through all this for that payoff and not run like the wind far away from Ms. Oyl. The black and white print is better. Recommended.
