Elvis Presley does the clam--a now-forgotten dance--in this 1964 potboiler in which the King stars as a singer who gets a gig in Ft. Lauderdale with his combo but has to baby-sit a mobster's teenage daughter (Shelley Fabares) as part of the deal. Fabares's character, looking for a break, runs wild and makes life difficult for Elvis. The film has the usual "Elvis movie" bounce and wolfish jokes and glossy disposability, but the endearing (and smart) presence of Fabares as the love interest adds a bit more zip than usual. Songs include the title track, plus "Puppet on a String," "Do Not Disturb," and "Let's Party Tonight." Directed by Boris Sagal (The Omega Man). --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

GIRL HAPPY-ONE OF THE MOST ENTERTAINING MOVIES EVER!!!
I love every second of this film. Elvis is at his peak and Shelley Fabares is at her most beautiful. The supporting cast is also great: Gary Crosby, Jimmy Hawkins, Joby Baker, Nita Talbot, Harold J. Stone, Chris Noel, Mary Ann Mobley. Every song is great and the chemistry between Elvis & Shelley really shows strong here. No Elvis movie collection should be complete without his best film. I give it an 11 out of 10!

PLEASE PUT ON DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Girl Happy"is the best and personally my favorite Elvis movie around.It's highly recommended and a must see!!Also,dvd distributors should take notice to release this wonderful movie on dvd at a more reasonable price so that humble people such as myself can afford it!!So,please put on dvd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elvis' Best Movie - Hands Down
The BEST Elvis movie by far finally get's it's DVD treatment - classic beach-party Elvis with great cameo's and hot 60's chicks. For Elvis music fanatics, notice the piano coda on "Puppet on a String" in the middle of the movie...it will bring tears.
