Elvis movie
This a good movie love Donna Douglas in it she's great and Harry Morgan is hillarious I would recomend this movie to everyone that likes Elvis!!!!

TWICE I was sent this item in error!!!!!!!
I returned this Elvis Movie TWICE because you sent me a VHS tape and I specifically asked for a DVD. I have gotten one from another source now, so I won't be ordering this one again. Even when I had re-ordered it over the phone they didn't get it right. No problem.

for the person who loves elvis. and bad acting. and terrible songs. and bustles.
I like Elvis a lot. I do not judge his movies the same way I judge others. They are fun and getting to hear him sing is what it's all about. But sweet God in heaven this movie is bad. Definitely watchable, but not in any way shape or form a good movie. Elvis isn't known for his acting, so his movies really have to have good music to balance it all out. The songs in Frankie and Johnny are so dang awkward: the lyrics, the strangely unmelodious melodies, the clunky syncopation that is not helped by the "dancing." Plus I can really do without the whole "telling a ridiculous 'drama' through a very very long song" thing with the wack exposition and the guns and the can can girls and the monkeys flailing in punch bowls. (See Singin' in the Rain for an inspired "story within a story" number. And Cyd Charisse.) But I don't want to be a grouch. It really is pretty fun to watch the badness. The best, most fun can be had with Elvis's costar who played Ellie on the Beverly Hillbillies. She is so bad she goes completely around the bend and ends up back at good. From the utterly vacant eyes to the wooden reading of even the simplest monosyllabic lines to her craptastic dancing she is a joy to behold. The one genuinely decent actor is Harry Morgan. He's fun and he actually has comic timing. They dub his voice in for one singing number and it's pretty hilarious. They gave him a very deep baritone that sounds nothing like his speaking voice. Boy I miss Mysterious Science Theater 3000. They would have had a romp with this one.
