Girl Happy
Included in "Elvis: The Hollywood Collection"
Elvis plays Rusty Wells, the leader of a four-piece rock group, consisting of Gary Crosby, Joby Baker and Jimmy Hawkins. Hired by Chicago gangster boss Big Frank (Harold J. Stone) to protect the virtue of Frank's cute daughter Valerie (Shelley Fabares), Rusty and his buddies follow Valerie to Fort Lauderdale during Spring Break. The girl falls in love with Rusty, then falls out of love when she learns that he's in her dad's employ. Valerie then becomes involved with a slick Italian playboy (Fabrizio Mioni), forcing Rusty to break up the romance lest he end up in a cement overcoat.

Not Bad - ecila
As Elvis movies go this was not bad. I enjoyed that he was in a band and had four other men to interact with. The movie is a little dated (ie. older men going down to spring break to find chicks is a little icky if you think to much on it).But Elvis charms and the plotline is silly, which is what makes and Elvis movie good.
It was fun, as long as you can ignore or laugh through the chauvinistic attitude. Movies like these help me to see why the feminsit movement of the 70's and 80's took the shape that it did.
