After rising to dramatic challenges in movies like "Flaming Star", "Follow That Dream" and many scenes in "Roustabout", etc., the Hollywood assembly-line yielded this fairly entertaining but hopelessly dated Presley vehicle. Too bad that several '50s-styled rockers ("The Meanest Girl In Town" [picked up on by Mr. Bill Haley as "She's Evil"], "Startin' Tonight", and "I've Got To Find My Baby") are marred by cartoonish characters sharing Elvis' spotlight.

Although this movie still holds great appeal for fans, and does have a fun plotline and some real 1950's styled rockers (actually mixed better for the film than for the soundtrack album!), it is tough to watch Elvis try to do his thing while always surrounded by cartoonish characters - he's never properly spotlighted in the production numbers, one which includes his first really ludicrous lyric, "Do The Clam", a number which nonetheless has a fantastic duelin' guitar & sax. (Interesting sidelight: Mr. Bill Haley also cut the uptempo "The Meanest Girl In Town" as "She's Evil", PRESUMEABLY after hearing the soundtrack). [Movie has High Embarrassment Factor of 8].

In 1964, The Beatles were the biggest thing to hit America since....Elvis Presley.
In 1964, Elvis Presley was making movies. Among them for this year were GIRL HAPPY and TICKLE ME.
The irony is that the "King of Rock and Roll" was making these second (and sometimes third) rate movies. Following the formula of G.I. BLUES and BLUE HAWAII (and countless others afterward), GIRL HAPPY puts Elvis in Fort Lauderdale where he is assigned to look after a mobster's daughter, played by Shelley Fabares.
The movie isn't the worst Elvis picture, but it's sure not as entertaining as his 50s pictures or even VIVA LAS VEGAS.
The songs are quite trite in this picture, there really are no standouts (Only "Puppet on a String" comes close).
But, for a lite little comedy, GIRL HAPPY does deliver. Just don't expect too much from this other than a piece of fluff.

I saw this picture three times back in '65 and enjoyed it each time. The Fort Lauderdale setting and spirited songs (many delivered in '50s style) was enough to bring me back. But today, although it is still regarded as a "fun flick", I *avoid* it each time (along with "Spinout").

I can't really explain why, but this is probably my favorite Elvis movie. Maybe because the chemistry between Elvis and Shelley Fabares really works or maybe it's the songs. Whatever the reason I recommend this movie highly.
