Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

When crooner Guy Lambert wraps his London show and travels to Brussels, two beauties secretly follow. One (Annette Day) is a lovestruck heiress, the other (Yvonne Romain) is an enigmatic temptress. And they could be too much for unattached Guy.

Comedy, mystery and mayhem combine when Elvis Presley plays Guy in "Double Trouble," a romp involving stolen gems, trench-coated defectives--that is, detectives!--and more. Through it all, a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do. That means performing a tune array that includes the title cut, "City By Night," and "Could I Fall in Love?" "Long Legged Girl" and "There's So Much World to See." Trouble was never this cool and this much fun.

3.0 out of 5 stars My First Elvis Movie, March 17, 2002

This review is from: Double Trouble [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was the first Elvis movie I ever saw. It's definitely not the way to start out watching Elvis' movies, but it is an honest effort. You have to give it credit for having a different setting (in Europe) and for having a different type of plot than other Elvis movies.It has a basically good soundtrack,"Baby,If You'll Give Me All Your Love","City By Night","Long-legged Girl","There's So Much World To See","Could I Fall In Love","I Love Only One Girl",and "Double Trouble" are all good, with the exception of "Old MacDonald". I wouldn't say it was a "horrid rendition", but just the fact that this song is sung, period, makes it beyond ridiculous. I like, however, the fairly engaging plot, kind of a spy-spoof at times. John Williams, Annette Day,and Leon Askin stand out among the cast. Not highly recommended, but recommended nonetheless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elvis and spies? Typical, but enjoyable., November 12, 2002

By 

Josh P. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Double Trouble [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Double Trouble" took advantage of the spy themes in the '60s. Elvis does his martial art moves in this picture. Unfortunately, his fighting opponent falls down a boarded-up well and...well, enough said. Annette Day tries to put her move on Elvis. He's a little resistent at first, but eventually gives in. A lot of action, a lot of comedy, and a lot of music is what is made up of "Double Trouble". Whoever said that they were the only one enjoying this picture was wrong. You're not alone. I am a true and huge Elvis fan. I love all of his movies, no matter what they stuck him in. "Double Trouble" is double fun.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slightly above average Elvis vehicle, June 12, 2000

This review is from: Double Trouble [VHS] (VHS Tape)

While certainly not as good as any of his 50s pictures (or even BLUE HAWAII), DOUBLE TROUBLE is certainly more watchable than TICKLE ME or HARUM SCARUM.

The plot is typical: Elvis falls for two women (that's certainly been done before), and gets into some sort of conflict. This time it's trying to save his girlfriend from her Uncle Gerald, who is after her inheritance.

OK, the plot isn't much, but Elvis looks good in some of the outfits he wears in this picture. The songs are not much either, especially the horrid rendition of "Old MacDonald". The best songs are "Long Legged Girl" and "City By Night".

At least this is a picture in which I didn't cringe. The dialogue isn't quite as corny as some of the other pictures, and it doesn't get too boring either.

A marginal "thumbs up" from me.
