Amazon.com: Hawaii seems like an afterthought in Elvis's second island outing. Half the musical numbers take place on boats (including the seasick-making title tune) and half in a Trader Vic's-style nightclub, so there's little good use of the exotic locale. There's little use of that lovable dish Stella Stevens, either, who's relegated to "other woman" duty as Elvis courts bland Laurel Goodwin. Goodwin's a rich girl going incognito, while E.P. is a penniless fisherman who dreams of owning his own boat. You finish the plot. The King is in good voice here, although the songs are fairly weak, with some curious flings at calypso and flamenco mixed in. He comes to shoulder-shaking life for "Return to Sender," a sizzling number that shows how his entire being could be possessed by a musical moment. This movie doesn't have enough of those to boost it into the upper tier of Elvis pictures. --Robert Horton

Rating: - Elvis! Elvis! Elvis!
Elvis Presley energizes the screen in this formulaic musical-comedy from producer Hal Wallis. "Girls! Girls! Girls!" (1962) does not rank among the King's finest efforts, yet his engaging performance goes a long way toward redeeming a humdrum script. The uneven soundtrack includes two memorable songs from Otis Blackwell and Winfield Scott: the smash hit "Return to Sender" and the underrated "We're Comin' in Loaded." Amazingly enough, "Girls! Girls! Girls!" received a Golden Globe nomination for Best ... Read More
