Title
Bride and Gloom
Description
The day before her wedding to Popeye, Olive Oyl has a dream about what it would be like to be married and a mother.
Early in the short, when Popeye and Olive Oyl are saying their goodbyes, Popeye, distracted, accidentally puts on a bonnet instead of his sailor hat. He then kisses a policeman, who blushes and is left stunned.
