The Farmer and the Belle (1950): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 1950, The Farmer and the Belle is a notable film directed by Seymour Kneitel.

What it’s about. Olive Oyl's Farm is desparately in need of a farmhand. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the boys are driving by. They compete for the job. Chores: Getting water from a well, picking apples, shoeing a horse, gathering eggs. Popeye feeds a hen a little spinach, and she produces a mountain of eggs, which eventually end up all over Bluto. Bluto drops an anvil on Popeye, then goes after Olive against her wishes, chasing her into a succession of haystacks (where he finds a needle!). The chicken feeds Popeye his spinach, and he triumphs, sending Bluto into the pigpen (where the pigs won't have anything to do with him).

Who’s in it. The Farmer and the Belle stars Jack Mercer as Popeye (voice) (uncredited), Mae Questel as Olive Oyl (voice) (uncredited) and Jackson Beck as Bluto (voice) (uncredited).
