Trivia
Elvis Presley gave small roles to his friends Del 'Sonny' West, Joe Esposito and Charlie Hodge. See more »Goofs
During the opening sequences when Elvis is "herding" the cattle with the Cadillac, his tires are screeching as he makes sharp turns. As he is on dirt and not pavement these sounds wouldn't have been heard. See more »Quotes

I have to disagree with a previous comment that this is Elvis' worst film. OK, it's not a comedy classic but surely, at least in my opinion, "Harum Scarum", "Paradise, Hawaiian Style" and "Easy Come, Easy Go" are much more inferior to this rather enjoyable yarn. I for one always enjoy watching it whenever it's screened on Cable TV and it's a pity it has not been released on DVD yet. Besides a very good-looking Elvis, the supporting cast Burgess Meredith, Katy Jurado & the wise-cracking Thomas Gomez (as grandpa) are a joy to watch. And the opening title sequence with the camera flying over the Grand Canyon while the lovely "Stay Away" (a re-working of "Greensleeves") plays on the soundtrack must rank as one of the most beautiful openings in all of Elvis' movies.
