Robert Altman's Popeye (1980) Film Set, Sweethaven, Anchor Bay, Malta

The village Sweethaven in Anchor Bay created for Robert Altman's film Popeye has been preserved and turned into a museum. Critically, Popeye was seen as Altman's Heaven's Gate, and the director never made another big budget film of the like, although it was extremely popular with the general public.
