About this audio guide
This guide to Popeye Village, at Anchor Bay near Mellieħa outside Valletta, is about the film set itself as a built object: Sweethaven, raised for Robert Altman's Popeye in nineteen seventy-nine. It follows the timber, shingles, nails and paint that had to travel to a limestone island, and the crew who put them together. Stand where you can see both the cliffs above the bay and the wooden rooftops.
