This was more a comedy than a musical, and definitely a better movie than his immediate previous movie "Blue Hawaii"! It's the first time I've seen this movie (honest), more than 50 years after it came out, but it was worth the wait. Even though it wasn't a serious movie Elvis did some good acting. The plot was pleasant and fun, with some good laughs at times. Watching this movie will get you thinking of Sheriff Andy Taylor and Mayberry, assuming you know who that was. It's a much easier movie to watch (and enjoy) than his prior musicals were.
