Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA large selection of Thimble Theatre characters have blink and you'll miss it cameos in this cartoon: Cole Oyl, Olive Oyl's Dad makes a very rare appearance, he can be seen poking his head out of the bottom left window after Bluto leaves the apartment building. In the window to the right of Cole is Nana Oyl, Olive's mother and directly above the door appears to be Ham Gravey, Olive's original boyfriend. The last cameo is Popeye's driver, Oscar, a friend of Popeye from the comics.
- GoofsIn the colorized version, the windows on the apartment building are not animated, they remain closed when the residents poke their heads out.
- Alternate versionsAlso available in a colorized version.

Watch your step
Have a fondness for many of Dave Fleischer's Popeye cartoons, and of Fleischer Studios' cartoons in general. The studios' cartoons are always impeccably well made, some of the animation techniques innovative and scored, for what they lacked in story and at times characters they more than made up for that by those elements and the natural charm and good nature of much of its prime period.
One of their best ever characters was Popeye, partnered with Olive Oyl and an even funnier and more interesting Bluto. At their best, their chemistry was great fun and often hilarious. 1937's 'Morning, Noon and Nightclub' was made during one of the best periods and one of the best years (a lot of the best Popeye cartoons were made in 1937 and in the late 30s) for the Popeye series. Of which for me it is one of the best from the period. No matter the slightness of the story, one forgets when everything else is so good. Especially the music, entertainment value and chemistry between the leads.
As said, absolutely love the character chemistry. Especially as ever between Popeye and Bluto. Their chemistry is pretty legendary and drives the Popeye cartoons when they are together, which they are a lot though there have been effective changes of pace. One can see why that is the case, the energy between the two sparkles. Popeye is immensely entertaining and likeable while Bluto is every bit his equal, even funnier actually. Olive has some of her best and funniest material in 'Morning, Noon and Nightclub', absolutely loved her songs which Mae Questel sings the heck of. The song is very infectious and hummable and the lyrics are hilarious and relished by Questel.
The animation is beautifully drawn and with enough visual detail to not make it cluttered or static and lively and smooth movement. The music is also outstanding, lots of merry energy and lush orchestration, adding a lot to the action and making the impact even better without being too cartoonish. Fleischer's direction is always accomplished and his style is all over it.
'Morning, Noon and Nightclub' is chockfull of sight gags and moments, all highly amusing and the best, like Olive's song and Bluto's heckling, hilarious. None of them misfire. Continue to love Popeye's asides and mumblings, Popeye is one of the few characters in animation or anything to make asides and mumblings funny and not irritating. It's not just the material but Jack Mercer's material has a lot to do with it as well.
Voice acting is dynamic and of very good quality, especially from Jack Mercer. Though nobody voiced Olive better than her most frequent voice actress Mae Questel and Gus Wickie has the right amount of menace for Bluto.
Summarising, a great cartoon and one of the best from this period. 9/10
