After too many lacklustre wimpy films, it seems Elvis suddenly realised that the sixties were swinging - and had nearly swung altogether as this film's from late in the decade. Nevertheless this is Elvis's attempt at Psych and kookiness, and is a brilliant failure. The songs are great, the plot...welll there isn't one really. Elvis is a David Bailey style photographer, trying to hold down two jobs at once, cue lots of comic dashing about. But he looks super cool and this time's he's in on the joke too. The film is one of Elvis's least known, but is certainly the most fun. A Little Less Conversation is the best known track but keep watching for The Edge of Reality and Almost in Love too - this was where Elvis started to get his groove back.

I bought this video a while ago but recieved it only recently, I was in hysterics when I first saw it! Elvis is dead cute and is great as Greg Nolan!
Greg Nolan is a photographer who has a steady job and a roof over his head untill he decides to go for a spin and ends up on a beach, he`s about to settle on his beach towel to take pictures of the ocean, when he comes face to face with a Great Dane called Albert! This is the setting when he first meets "The Girl With No Name", He then lands into a situation he`s not anticipated in being.
She ends up getting a ridiculous hold over him, resulting in Greg losing his job and his home. In which he`s forced to share a room with her dog! He sets out for a new job and finds himself two full time jobs in one day, Dodging the bosses is tricky.
Greg then learns that while he`s been out working "The Girl With No Name", has found and bought him a house.
He`s grateful but at the same time annoyed.
A fantastic film and one I recommend, as a massive Elvis fan myself I found it humours. Certainly amongst his best and though it only contains four songs, A Little Less Conversation, Edge Of Reality, Wonderful World and Almost In Love.
A must for all fans of The King.
As a little bit of info, Elvis`s first child, Lisa Marie-Presley was born a month before this film came out!:)

Now that's more like it. It's the late '60s and Elvis gets hip.
I loved this film. Totally entertaining with a trendy Elvis as a professional photographer hilariously trying to run two jobs at once as he gets entangled with a 'confused' girl.
Now as you would expect from an Elvis movie, there are plenty of girls, a few songs, and a couple of fights. But that's where the similarities with his other movies end. It is a comedy but with mature undertones for once. He is also enjoying the script for a change and this is very evident throughout the film. Naturally, this results in a better movie and I guarantee you've not seen Elvis like this before. In a few scenes he even looks like James Bond, especially in the segment where he sings A LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION.
Did you know that:
- Elvis's father Vernon Presley plays a cameo role. See if you can spot him.
- Elvis talks about a computer, although they were a long way from becoming commonly available.
- Rudy Vallee and Dick Sargent, both popular figures at the time, also starr in this movie.
- Many of Elvis' actual bodyguard friends also have small roles. How many can you identify?
- Elvis performs a psychedelic scene for the first time to the pseudo-acid song EDGE OF REALITY.
- It is said that the dog featured in the movie was Elvis' actual dog, Brutus.
- Of all the 33 movies he made, this is the only one in which he somewhat shares a bed with a girl - a daring act for a Presley movie. Goodness, whatever next!
In summary, this is a brilliant movie, with an Elvis you've never seen before. The acting, singing, script and film setting, are great. Also, he really never looked better. And although it was commercially unsuccessful in 1968, this is a movie that will please all viewers and make you see Elvis in a different light. A much much better light.
Thoroughly recommended.

A disappointing Elvis film.
A great opening scene, as Elvis speeds along the beach, singing "wonderful World." After an exiting start, the film slowly deteriorates into boredom. Read more
