Thirty years ago, the movie "Popeye" was released; Robin Williams' theatrical debut.
"An international construction crew of 165 worked seven months to construct the set. Tree trunk logs were driven across Europe from Holland, and wood shingles were imported all the way from Canada. Eight tons of nails and 2,000 gallons of paint were used to complete the set. When they finished, the fictional village of Sweethaven consisted of 19 buildings including a hotel, a school-house, a store, a post office, a church and a tavern. The set for the town of Sweethaven was built at Anchor Bay on the Mediterranean island of Malta. " (imdb)
Thirty years later, the set remains, as a tourist attraction . Google Maps
Too flippin' cool! (Yes, I love the movie and the soundtrack)
