“It’s all Greek to me” Sunday
on Jul 26 in General by DanHere’s how it works. I’ve taken a short film synopsis from the listings page of a TV guide and fed it into Bable Fish, an online translating service. I then translated the synopsis from English into Greek, and then from Greek back into English. The resulting gobbledygook is posted below. Your task is to try and identify what movie the passage refers to.
Here’s the passage:
Sailor [character] reaches in a clumsy city of beaches called sweet harbour. There it meets [character], loving individual hamburger, [character] at an early date you are love of his life, and [character], one enormous, it means the pirate who’ s in order to it makes outside the sweet harbour pay for no good reason. Does [character] discover also his long lost [character] in the middle all, thus with a area of new friends, the heads [character] in order to it stops far [character], and he his it took force of spinach, that [character] detests, in the right [character] busk mush. Does the clock as mops [character] that the floor with the punks in a burger union, stops a avid tax individual, take under a boxer of pioneers, and it finds even abandoned baby [character].
Last weeks winner was my brother Sam. Sam has had a pretty shitty week. Beau, his cat, got run over on Monday and he’s pretty cut up about it. so it would be very insensitive for me to take my usual antagonistic and insulting tone towards him. The poor big eared baldy posing nobhead.

Is it Popeye?
@Dwayne, it is. Well done sir. I bet you ate your spinach this morning.

@slugs on the refrigerator, I wouldn’t have got the sweethaven thing. Is that a standard popeye location?

I had no idea, but I used to love Popeye, except Oliveoil really annoyed me. Well done Dwayne. :D

@Jo Beaufoix, I preferred mighty mouse I think.
Popeye was actually one of the first films I ever saw on VHS.
Bugger. I thought it was Stop or My Mum Will Shoot
@Tara@Stickyfingers, that film is a crime against humanity.
Oh, I thought popeye too! Clever me! Admittedly just because of the mention of spinach (which surely can’t change meaning a lot when translted a few times).
