Never Kick A Woman (1936)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Popeye and Olive Oyl walk past a female gym and decide to go in there so that the sailor can give his woman a few tips. Once inside the female worker, a Mae West homage, begins to flirt with Popeye, which is a no no to Olive.
NEVER KICK A WOMAN has a rather catchy title and even starts off with a joke about the "weaker sex" that probably won't go over too well today. With that said, this here is certainly a very fast short that manages to have some great laughs as well as the non-stop action that you've come to expect from the series. Of course, the genders are reversed here because it's Olive who gets to have all the fun with the flirting woman. There are certainly a great number of laughs that work here and the ending is priceless as even Popeye gets a few lessons.
