Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Charming and brutal

An absolute waste of money

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Popeye's nemesis is not Bluto this time around, but a handsome muscle-bound lifeguard who gets all hot and bothered by Olive Oyl in her bikini. Occasionally in the Famous Studio cartoons, The Sailor Man would vie with "one shot" villains for Olive's affections. See also "Pre-Hysterical Man", "Snow Place Like Home", "A Wolf In Sheik's Clothing". "Beach Peach" is an entertaining cartoon. The lifeguard's tattoos coming to life and blasting Popeye across the beach is a scene that has stayed in my memory since childhood.
