Arguably the most successful of Elvis' movies. Chad Gates (Elvis) returns from the army to his beautiful hawaiian sweetheart (Joan Blackman). Angela Landsbury plays Chad's ditsy and domineering mother. She wants her son to take a position in his father's pineapple business. Chad decides to become a tourist guide. There is always time to party, sing and romance. The movie soundtrack still remains one of the biggest selling Presley albums. Fourteen songs featuring "Hawaiian Wedding Song", "Rock-a-Hula Baby" and the classic "Can't Help Falling In Love" support this light comedic musical.
