as a director that takes the script, and
"transforms it into an original piece of work ."
This may seem a rather ambiguous definition, but
all that is needed to make clear what the practice
of auteurism is, is one piece of work that fits
the definition perfectly. Robert Altman's Popeye
is just that. Altman took an institution, that of
Popeye, a classic American icon, and wrote it to
fit it to his traditional thematic concerns. It
