The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Silly storyline, poor songs and a series of adolescent sketches renders this film strictly for TV's graveyard late night shift. This film was regarded as poor then and is a sharp reminder why Presley's film career was in decline.

I have to admit this movie holds a special place in my heart as I saw in with the first girl I ever dated and fell in love with back in 1965. But all that aside, some 45 years later, I still enjoy the movie even if I haven't seen the girl in 40 years. Elvis as a singing rodeo cowboy gets sidetracked working at a dude ranch for young women wishing to look better and hooks up with Jocelyn Lane, possibly the best looking woman on the planet in 1965. The music, taken from some older Elvis LPs, fits fine. The songs "Dirty, Dirty Feeling" and "Slowly But Surely" are great songs on their own as is the opening sequence number, "Long Lonely Highway", which was released as a single. "Such An Easy Question", also released as a single in 65, is more of a romantic ballad and is quite good, tho it sounded better when it was released a couple years earlier on the "Pot Luck" album. They added some background orchestration to the movie version that is totally out of place. Julia Adams and "Wild" Bill Williams head up a stellar supporting cast. A good, solid Elvis movie and remember, these movies were not made to compete for Oscars.

This really is an entertaining movie. Although corny, it makes you laugh if you think about how stupid it is and how much movies have evolved since then. Elvis absolutely hated these movies. He did enjoy his first four, ( Love me Tender, Loving You, Jailhouse Rock, and King Creole) King Creole was his favorite to make and probably his best movie period. He hated making the silly musical movies of the sixties. He knew they were stupid. However, Colonel Parker had him brainwashed in the beginning and before Elvis knew what he was doing was going to ruin his career for 8 years, he was already obligated into contracts 5 years in advance. He went on to make a comeback in 1968 and reclaim his throne as the king of rock. That is what he is, the king of rock n' roll, and he wasn't a bad actor either, he did the best with the absolutely HORRIBLE scripts thrown at him as he could. He did just as well with those scripts as Brando could have.

Funny! This is one of my Elvis favorites! Yes, there is nothing serious here but good fun entertainment. Elvis in some really great candid shots and a spooky ghost town. Elvis in the rodeo. I really like this one and hope to see it on DVD. In fact, why isn't the entire Elvis movie collection on DVD??? When I think of all the trash movies that are being sold, why not some good, clean Elvis fun and some great music, too? I have been watching the Elvis movies since I was 6 years old. I love these old fun movies. I have the entire collection on VHS and have bought all that are available on DVD. These films take me right back to my youth. Pop some corn, pour a Pepsi, sit back and relax and recall the good IL' days when Elvis was showing off on the big silver screen.
