Hawaii seems like an afterthought in Elvis's second island outing. Half the musical numbers take place on boats (including the seasick-making title tune) and half in a Trader Vic's-style nightclub, so there's little good use of the exotic locale. There's little use of that lovable dish Stella Stevens, either, who's relegated to "other woman" duty as Elvis courts bland Laurel Goodwin. Goodwin's a rich girl going incognito, while E.P. is a penniless fisherman who dreams of owning his own boat. You finish the plot. The King is in good voice here, although the songs are fairly weak, with some curious flings at calypso and flamenco mixed in. He comes to shoulder-shaking life for "Return to Sender," a sizzling number that shows how his entire being could be possessed by a musical moment. This movie doesn't have enough of those to boost it into the upper tier of Elvis pictures. --Robert Horton

Customer Reviews

Lighten up, you uptight critics!
SHEEEESH!! Some of the vicious attack 'reviews' here are ridiculous. No, most Elvis films are not profound cinema, but to attack the man and his fans as hillbillies and fools (in long rambling diatribes) seems odd and extreme...

"Where are my Elvis videos?"
"I am not one to complain; but, when I see these ridiculous prices for the VHS tapes of "Girls! Girls! Girls!" and "It Happened At The World's Fair"; well then, what I cannot seem to understand is why Paramount and MGM just will not reissue these two movies on VHS and DVD. By not doing this, then they are depriving us of actually owning our very own copies of these two titles. They are the only two Elvis movies that I currently do NOT have in my collection/library at the moment. It seems so unfair NOT to be able to have them. If you are reading this, and you agree with me, then PLEASE speak up, and say something. After all- I am not the only Elvis fan in the world. I am almost
certain that others would enjoy them, too. Thank you."

I'm In Agreement!
This certainly isn't one of Elvis' good movies -- but it holds a sentimental favorite place in my heart. It was one of the first Elvis movies I ever saw when I first became a fan, way way back in 1975. It's one of the few I don't own, and I have been eagerly searching for Elvis movie titles on DVD -- and have been very disappointed to find so few! This year, with the 25th Anniversary, would be a grand time to have finally reissued all the movie titles on DVD!
