Elvis has obviously been tucking into the cheeseburgers during the making of this rubbish. Elvis looks overweight with piggy eyes. His hair looks dyed off his head and is wig like. Its hard to believe that less than 1 year later he was strutting his stuff on stage at NBC studios in his black leather outfit looking better than he has ever looked at 33 years old. Thank God for the '68 comeback special. However I did read somewhere that he was taking speed to suppress his appetite up to 3 months before the cameras started rolling for the '68. It worked coz he looked slim and fit and dripping with charisma. He also looked happy and relaxed which I reckon was the direct result of not having to make any more crap movies like Clambake.
Just plain awful....do describe what was bad about it here would be too much.
Oh well....
They only dragged it out of the store cupboard cause of the anniversary

One of the absolute WORST of Elvis' masterpieces. There is the lovely Shelley Fabares, but give me a break. Throw in Bill Bixby, who could be amusing on TV shows, and you've definitely got the worst songs in Elvis flick history (especially "Clambake"). I don't know how he slogged through this one in 1967.
I rarely give a film a 1, but this one for sure. Best performance = Shelly Fabares. Along with TICKLE ME, SPINOUT, and a few others, this hits a new low, even for The King. Nothing to recommend, even in Ed Wood land. Don't bother. Pure Junk from beginning to end, with less of a plot than usual (if that's possible).
