Elvis Presley does the clam--a now-forgotten dance--in this 1964 potboiler in which the King stars as a singer who gets a gig in Ft. Lauderdale with his combo but has to baby-sit a mobster's teenage daughter (Shelley Fabares) as part of the deal. Fabares's character, looking for a break, runs wild and makes life difficult for Elvis. The film has the usual "Elvis movie" bounce and wolfish jokes and glossy disposability, but the endearing (and smart) presence of Fabares as the love interest adds a bit more zip than usual. Songs include the title track, plus "Puppet on a String," "Do Not Disturb," and "Let's Party Tonight." Directed by Boris Sagal (The Omega Man). --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars GIRL HAPPY-ONE OF THE MOST ENTERTAINING MOVIES EVER!!!, May 29, 2007

By	T.J. Hooker "Spider" (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Girl Happy (DVD)

I love every second of this film. Elvis is at his peak and Shelley Fabares is at her most beautiful. The supporting cast is also great: Gary Crosby, Jimmy Hawkins, Joby Baker, Nita Talbot, Harold J. Stone, Chris Noel, Mary Ann Mobley. Every song is great and the chemistry between Elvis & Shelley really shows strong here. No Elvis movie collection should be complete without his best film. I give it an 11 out of 10!

5.0 out of 5 stars Elvis' Best Movie - Hands Down, May 27, 2007

By	Stevie The Saint (Ballwin, MO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Girl Happy (DVD)

The BEST Elvis movie by far finally get's it's DVD treatment - classic beach-party Elvis with great cameo's and hot 60's chicks. For Elvis music fanatics, notice the piano coda on "Puppet on a String" in the middle of the movie...it will bring tears.
