Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
moonspinner55 A bit odd, but generally pleasing, colorful Elvis Presley vehicle casts the singing star as a tuna fisherman who longs to buy his own sailboat; he takes a job as a nightclub entertainer (nearly usurping former-girlfriend Stella Stevens) and balks at women who want to buy him things in exchange for his affection (another poor guy with principles!). Stevens is a tough broad who looks like she's been around a bit, though she's still a better fit for Elvis over newcomer Laurel Goodwin, who twinkles like a bobby-soxer. Elvis actually shows great passion for Goodwin (kissing her in the rain, even speaking of marriage), but she just doesn't seem his type. Musically, Elvis goes International: singing Chinese, dancing a Spanish Tango, crooning Calypso. In the rock 'n roll opener, he sings, "I'm just a red-blooded boy and I can't stop thinking about girls" (if he didn't like girls, what color would his blood be then?). The prettiest song, "Mama", is sung not by Presley but rather The Four Amigos, while Stevens seems to do her cabaret act in between various arguments. Goodwin (secretly rich) takes a job in a hat-shop, but why--to prove she has principles too? The script makes no sense, and the hot-headed character conflicts are contrived, but Jeremy Slate is a convincingly wormy adversary for Elvis, and E.P.'s performance is blithe and easy-to-take. **1/2 from ****
plwblj I am a big fan of this film for a myriad of reasons : -It is vintage El and he is in his prime; -Stella Stevens & Laurel Goodwin; -The locale(the Tropics) -The Colour -Robt.Strauss & Jeremy Slate -The Year 1962(i was 15 & Impressionable !) -The fishing scenes -the Stavroses -what a Soundtrack !(Return to Sender coulda been enough!) -El's Wardrobe(sometimes he looks like a Hood !) -the opening scene(w\a great lieber\stoller opener of a spirited song) -great pacing-never flags in movement of story -amazing body moves while swinging & warbling -perceptible good budget production -fun story line -LOTS of Energy ! etc.etc.etc
Darrin It's truly a shame that Elvis wasted his natural acting ability on schlocky musicals. While Elvis musicals are always enjoyable for the die-hard Elvis admirer, "Girls! Girls! Girls!" was absurdity at its finest. Other than the novelty of hearing Elvis sing in Chinese (I kid you not!eh), this was one of the lesser enjoyable Elvis musicals. Although, Stella Stevens did provide great eye-candy. One user claims that this film finally proved that Elvis can act? LOL! If you want to see Elvis act in a better quality film, rent "Jailhouse Rock" or "Love Me Tender." The latter being his only true dramatic role. See this film only as a novelty.
sonny starr Girls! Girls! Girls! is one of Elvis' best. From Storyline to soundtrack, you will be entertained.Elvis (Ross Carpenter), Plays a fishing guide. He works for a kind old couple,(Papa Stavros) played by Frank Puglia and (Mama Stavros) played by Lili Valenty. They own the (Westwind) a boat that was built by Ross Carpenter's father. When the old couple breaks the news that they are retiring and moving to Arizona, Ross must find a way to buy the boat. The lovely Stella Stevens (Robin Gantner) plays a singer in a night club that Ross frequents. He also sings at the club from time to time. The two become personally involved.At the same time Ross has feeling for (Laurel Dodge), played by Laurel Goodwin. Who will he choose? I'm not going to spill the beans. I'll let you find the answer on your own. I can tell you that this picture is well worth your time. Both Stella Stevens and Laurel Goodwin give strong performances. Presely was very strong throughout this picture as well. He looked like he enjoyed working with the cast.The two little girls in the movie, Ginny Tiu and Mai Ling were very charming. The inner play between Elvis and the children was remarkable. It gave this film a sweet touch.(Interesting Facts) Girls! Girls! Girls! was released on November 21st 1962. It was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for best picture. Elvis won the 2nd place trophy for best actor at the Laurel Awards. The sound track was one of Elvis' best. It included the #1 smash, "Return To Sender"
