Trivia

Although Margie Hines is credited with the voice of Olive Oyl in this short, in fact, the character here sings in excellent Portuguese for the first part of the song and then in English in a thick Brazilian accent. The voice sounds nothing like Hines or Mae Questel and may have, in fact, been that of the woman who did the samba dance movements for both Olive and Popeye.

Popeye's can of spinach is labeled 17 points. Canned foods were assigned point values in the ration books as part of World War 2 rationing in America.

The big band leader shown is a caricature of the actual Latin bandleader Xavier Cugat.

The singing voice for Olive Oyl sounds exactly like Carmen Miranda.

Popeye and Bluto encounter a scarlet macaw and a toucan on their journey, both native to tropical South American regions.
