Some fun names -- Elvis, kind of in the middle of his movie making days. Donna Douglas (Elly May), Harry Morgan (Dragnet, and MASH, of course!) Elvis is the singer on a riverboat casino, with Morgan on piany. Singer Donna Douglas made this while playing Elly May in Beverly Hillbillies. Johnny (Elvis) is on a losing streak, and is searching for the redhead that will end his bad run. his lady friend Frankie, not being a redhead, (Donna Douglas) doesn't like the sound of that! jealousy. anger. love triangle. some fun elvis songs you probably haven't heard him sing before. the costumes are SO bright, pink, red, yellow. and TERRIBLE voice dubbing for Harry Morgan, when they show him singing... it doesn't sound ANYTHING like him, and it's not good dubbing. the film is pretty good overall. worth seeing, since it IS one of the 31 films Elvis made. and they don't show this one very often. you have to buy into them. Directed by Freddy DeCordova, who directed all those Tonight Shows with Johnny Carson.
