Fun In Acapulco: Review

starstarstarstar
Following a traumatic accident in the States, Mike Windgren (Elvis Presley), a vertigo-afflicted trapeze artist, turns up at an Acapulco resort hotel working as a lifeguard and singer. There, he falls in love with Margarita Dauphine (Ursula Andress), the hotel social director. Unfortunately, fellow lifeguard and cliff diver extraordinaire Moreno (Alejandro Rey) also has his eye on her. The two men battle for her affection, which leads to the final sequence at La Quebrada, where Mike conquers his fear of heights, does a 136-foot dive, and wins the lady's affections. With 10 forgettable numbers, FUN IN ACAPULCO is just a travelogue, cashing in on Presley's slowly diminishing box office appeal. Songs (all sung by Presley): "Fun in Acapulco" (Sid Wayne, Ben Weisman), "Vino, Dinero y Amor," "Mexico," "The Bullfighter Was a Lady" (Sid Tepper, Roy C. Bennett), "El Toro" (Bill Giant, Bernie Baum, Florence Kaye), "Marguerita" (Don Robertson), "(There's) No Room to Rhumba (In a Sports Car)" (Fred Wise, Dick Manning), "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here" (Hal Blair, Don Robertson), "Bossa Nova Baby" (Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller), "You Can't Say No in Acapulco" (Dee Fuller, Lee Morris, Sid Feller), "Guadalajara" (Pepe Guizar). leave a comment
