Walter Hale (Elvis Presley) is the manager of a chautauqua, a traveling show consisting of performances, lectures and entertainment. Along with manager Johnny (Edward Andrews), he helps some young kid... read more read more...s break into show business and contends with the union-organizing Charlene (Marilyn Mason). Vincent Price appears as Mr. Morality. John Carradine, Sheree North and Dabney Coleman also appear in this forgettable film which makes Clambake and Girl Happy classics by comparison. Elvis is limited to three tunes as he plays out the string of poorly scripted vehicles that ended with his next feature, the equally awful Change of Habit. By now, the inane screenplays had done permanent damage to a once-promising film career, souring the King of Rock & Roll on everything in movies except live concert performances. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

    A typical Elvis movie plot and story, it's a pretty average movie, and not all that exciting. I don't know why Vincent Price had a small role i this movie, but he does, it's not a great role, he's just kinda there. Anyway, it's an okay movie.

    Vincent Price is in it! Pretty funny storyline and it's good to see that he doesn't have to break out into song randomly to sing all the time. They do have some interesting POV shots in the movie, and I like that they actually were POV shots, but in one scene (you will know it ... read morewhen you see it) they get a little excessive.
