Elvis gets stalked by a homely underaged Brit in the most mystifying casting decision in Elvis' film career.

The King shows fine wit. And the songs are fun - for me, anyway, not being old enough to remember Elvis as anything other than a fat guy who shot out his TV and died on his toilet.

I just don't know what producers were thinkingg when they cast this young woman. Did they run out of hot women in Britain in 1967. Or were here bad teeth an in-joke about legendary English dental care (or lack thereof)?

This movie wouldn't be half-bad if they could digitally replace the female lead who wasn't so repulsive. And if they'd deleted the Old McDonald song. I mean, come on, leave Elvis with at least a sliver of his dgnity. I mean, my god, by 1967, not only were the hopelessly square Beatles a worldwde phenomenom, the Rolling Stones were already a thing.
