Girl Happy

A Chicago mob boss sends Rusty Wells, the Elvis character, to Fort Lauderdale to keep an eye on his lovely daughter (Shelley Fabares) during Spring Break. Isn’t this like sending the fox to guard the hen house? Well, yeah. Ms. Fabares is so chaste and wholesome-looking that she makes Sandra Dee seem like a sleazy, middle-aged barfly by comparison. This, of course, makes her all the more sexy, especially when she’s shaking it up on stage with Elvis as she carries a sign that says, “I’m evil”. I wish they still made movies like this!

This has got to be Elvis' best musical after Viva Las Vegas. Elvis and Shelley Fabares had good chemistry. No wonder she was his favorite co-star.

This is great....my favorite Elvis movie...Love Elvis and Shelly, and Mary Ann Mobley too...it's awesome, now I can see it any time I want to. Thank you iTunes!

While Elvis may not have been a great actor of sorts, he manages his own and this light weight but fun filled musical comedy is a delight, and a personal fave. Elvis plays Rusty Wells the lead singer to a pop combo (consisting of Gary Crosby, Joby Baker, and Jimmy Hutchins) who goes to Ft. Lauderdale to watch out for a mobster's daughter who goes there to go on a Spring Break. Shelley Fabares plays Valerie, the mobsters daughter, and Rusty falls for her. Good acting, and a really great soundtrack, makes this a delight.

One of the best Elvis movies of all time because its nothing but fun. Great songs! Acting is just as good as any other Elvis movie. Too bad spring break wasn't more like this

I love the elvis movies!! This is my favorite. And Shelley Fabares, gorgeous!!!

I just noticed, they got girl happy!!! Thanks iTunes! I love this movie. It's so funny! I want more of Elvis! Rock on!
