Girls! Girls! Girls!: Review

starstarstarstar
A year and several pictures after making BLUE HAWAII, director Taurog and actor Presley returned to the Aloha state for GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS! (no question but that Presley could churn out musicals). Here Elvis takes on the role of a Hawaiian charter-boat captain who is suddenly without a boat. By day Presley fishes for tuna; by night he sings in a nightclub, trying to come up with enough cash to buy the sailboat that once belonged to his father. Two women play prominent roles in Presley's life: chanteuse Stevens (singing for the first time in movies) and Goodwin (a rich girl who pretends not to be). Both are after Presley's heart, but it's Goodwin who gets it--although when she buys his dad's boat for Presley, it's nearly curtains for the romance (sure). Musical numbers: "The Nearness of You" (Ned Washington, Hoagy Carmichael, sung by Stevens); "Never Let Me Go" (Jay Livingston, Ray Evans, sung by Stevens); "Girls, Girls, Girls" (Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller); "Return to Sender," "We're Coming In Loaded" (Otis Blackwell, Winfield Scott); "A Boy like Me, A Girl like You," "Song of the Shrimp," "Earth Boy," "The Walls Have Ears" (Sid Tepper, Roy C. Bennett), "Thanks to the Rolling Sea," "Because of You," "Where Do We Come From?" (Ruth Batchelor, Bob Roberts); "We'll Be Together, Mama" (Charles O'Curran, Dudley Brooks); "I Don't Wanna Be Tied" (Bill Giant, Bernie Baum, Florence Kaye); "I Don't Want To" (Janice Torre, Fred Spielman). leave a comment
