Not Every One of the 31 "Elvis Movies" is a "Bad-Elvis-Movie".
Although, Sadly, the Majority Fit Into that Infamous Category of "The King's" Filmography.
The Concert Films are Considered Separate and are an Entity Unto Themselves.
Some of the Titles that Avoid Being Included in the "Bad" File are...
Love Me Tender (1956)...Loving You (1957)...Jailhouse Rock (1957)...King Creole (1958)...G.i. BLUES (1960)...Flaming Star (1960)...Wild in the Country (1961)...Blue Hawaii (1961)...Viva Las Vegas (1964)...Roustabout (1964)
After 1964 All Elvis Movies were "Bad-Elvis-Movies".
Although They All Made Oodles of Money and Sold Tons of Albums...Both Musically and Cinematically, with a Few Song Exceptions, are Just "Bad" Period.
"Double Trouble", although More Lively, and Encompassing Crimes, Slapstick, and Only One God-Awful Song..."Old MacDonald",
it Can't be Denied its "Bad" Status Because of Lot of the Comedy Falls Flat (even for an Elvis Movie) and are Cringe Inducements for Sure.
After a Promising Under Credits Montage that is Cut and Displayed Featuring a Semi-Psychedelic Swirl of Images,
the Film Immediately Plummets to an Anachronistic Elvis in Front of a Band that Would be Laughed Off the Stage in 1966 Swinging England.
Elvis Himself, Hairstyle and Clothes are Something Out of a Hollywood Idea of Hip.
The American Movie Studio Factory Never Did Catch Up to the Pop-Culture Changing and it Took Independent Films Like "Easy Rider" (1969) to Show the Dinosaur Studios What was What.
This Film, However is Almost as Awful as Some of the Others in the "Bad-Elvis-Movie" Category.
It can be Watched by True Elvis Fans with a Minimum of Embarrassment for "The King", He Holds His Own in His Own Way,
but is Surrounded by Unfunny Comedy, and One Sight-Gag After Another that, well, Makes One Gag at the Ineptitude.
The Opening Credits Proudly Announced..."Introducing...Annette Day". She Never Made Another Movie.
For Those That Can Take It...
Almost Worth a Watch.
