Elvis Presley in Blue Hawaii (1961)

German postcard by Krüger, no. 902/145. Photo: UFA. Elvis Presley in Blue Hawaii (Norman Taurog, 1961) with Pamela Austin, Joan Blackman, Jenny Maxwell, Darlene Tompkins, and Nancy Walters.

This is one of Elvis Presley's better and most entertaining films. However, it is a shame that its success ruined the promising film career of the King. The scenery and songs are good and it is a fairly decent script. Angela Lansbury appeared as Elvis's mother, and the film gave tourism to the Islands a big boost. 40 years on the film is still a treat to watch, but due to the film's popularity Elvis management told him this was the direction his film career should go. And that's such a shame, for Elvis fans and for film history.
