    • Trivia
      Shelley Fabares is the only woman who was Elvis Presley's love interest in three different films.
    • Goofs
      When Elvis is on the beach playing the intro to "Do the Clam," the sound is clearly from an electric guitar, but when Elvis is shown playing the guitar, it's a regular acoustic guitar, which sounds nothing like an electric.
    • Quotes

      Sgt. Benson: [over the sounds of construction] Are those girls giving you any trouble?

      Officer Jones: Nope, they're all quiet now.

      Sgt. Benson: Will you speak up? I can't hear you.

      Officer Jones: [louder] Everything's fine.

      Sgt. Benson: Well, what's all that racket?

      Officer Jones: I dunno. I guess they're fixin' the streets out there.

      Sgt. Benson: They're what?

      Officer Jones: [louder] I said I guess they're fixing the streets out there!

      Sgt. Benson: Fixing the streets? At night?

      Officer Jones: Yeah, I guess all those college kids get in the way during the daytime.

    Lots of fun in the sun with Elvis and friends
    Girl Happy is typical of the mid-sixties beach movies,and to some extent,it is similar to another earlier film,"Where the Boys Are".Both take place in Fort Lauderdale,Florida during college spring-break.The plot is simple,and the songs are plentiful.Besides looking and sounding great,Elvis displays his natural talent for comedy,which most actors will admit is more difficult than straight drama.The film is pure fun and moves pretty quickly.Harold J. Stone is excellent as the tough,gangster-like father of co-star Shelley Fabares,who is her usual adorably cute love interest.Plenty of slapstick comedy with Elvis assisted by Gary Crosby(Bing's son),Joby Baker,and Jimmy Hawkins.If you are looking for a fun-filled musical 90 minutes without profanity,violence,substance abuse, or nudity/sexuality,then Girl Happy will make you happy.What's taking the studio so long to release this title on DVD?
