1965, Movie, NR, 95 mins

starstarstarstar
Elvis Presley gives one of his weakest performances as a singer-movie star who is kidnaped and taken to an Arab palace, where he is embroiled in a plot to kill the king. The intrigue provided by Gerald Drayson Adams' screenplay is less than intriguing, and the laughs are scarce, but there are lots of pretty girls for Elvis to sing to--including Mary Ann Mobley and Fran Jeffries. Despite its patent absurdity and incompetent execution, HARUM SCARUM made piles of money for Presley and MGM. Songs include "Harum Scarum" (Peter Andreoli, Vince Poncia, Jr., Jimmie Crane), "Golden Coins," "Go East, Young Man," "Shake That Tamborine," "Animal Instinct," "Wisdom of the Ages," "Mirage" (Bill Giant, Bernie Baum, Florence Kaye), "Hey Little Girl," "So Close, Yet So Far (From Paradise)" (Joy Byers), "My Desert Serenade" (Stanley Jay Gelber), "Kismet" (Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett). leave a comment
