I wanted all of Elvis' films on DVD and this was my last purchase, with good reason. It looks as if a 12-year-old amateur film buff has put it together. There IS a storyline in there somewhere. I think it's about buried treasure but I lost the plot (and the will to live) halfway through.
But it does have Elvis in it and apart from looking distinctly fed up at times (and who could blame him), he is looking good but then it was difficult in those days for him to look anything else.
Like the above reviewer, it gets three stars simply because it's got Elvis in it!

Nice wide screen copy & a crisp sound track.
Being an Elvis fan, I tend to just enjoy the songs, although even those are not great in this one.
Simple story of Elvis & side kick goes looking for treasure, some slap stick humour to help things along.
Easy viewing, for an afternoon with nothing much to do.

By 1967 Elvis Presley had long since had enough of the formula of his movies, where he would triumph over the bad guys, kiss the girls and sing songs to all and sundry. Even when a good Presley movie surfaced, and there are a few bona fide good ones, casual film fans are required to be in a light and unforgiving mood to enjoy the malarkey on offer. Easy Come, Easy Go is pretty average stuff, both in quality of narrative and performances and that of the tunes within. Dialogue is unleashed in scattergun fashion without due care and attention for dramatic worth, there's no strong female lead for Presley to bounce back and forth from, and the humour is tired and weary.
Yet for all of the evident problems, it's a safe enough recommendation to those after a time filler who are armed with the knowledge this isn't going to tickle the cranium! It's all very colourful with nice exterior work at Long Beach Naval Station, Presley looks just terrific in uniform and the cast is spruced up by the presence of Elsa Lanchester and Jack McHugh; the former of which sings a bit and gets the giggles as a hippie type yoga teacher who ties "The Pelvis" in knots. Two good songs feature, I'll Take Love and Leave My Woman Alone, while the race for buried treasure plot remains airy enough to let the adventure yarn breathe.
Foot tapping assured and unintentional giggles, too, set the dial for family friendly fodder and wallow in the froth. 6/10

Certainly not Elvis' best !
It would be impossible to convince a film buff with this movie that Elvis Presley was a good actor and the highest paid in Hollywood for a time during the '60s. Read more

Moderate Presley Vehicle
This 1967 movie is better than the absolute nadir of Elvis's film career (eg, Harem Holiday, Frankie and Johnny), but let's not get carried away - The Godfather Part II this isn't. Read more

MUST BE WORST ELVIS FILM EVER
I actually fell asleep watching this film. OK, as other reviewers have said It DOES have Elvis in it, but even so I dont think I could ever sit through this film again. Read more

Elvis on DVD - who'd have thought
Yes, Elvis is on DVD but it really doesn't make this film any better. The picture quality is superb but really does not make up for the terrible plot and bad acting. Read more
