    Typical Elvis with Elly Mae Clampett yet, which actually adds to its kitsch value and makes it one you really have to see ONCE.

    Light, nothing deep but reasonably entertaining. Most of the songs aren't very memorable, but the cast is good, especially the supporting players. Colorful and lively.

    I thought it was a Classic, especially because Elvis is my favorite! :)
    Not only is he a great singer/dancer but he is a great actor!
