after a few lean year and 1968 be a pretty swell time for elvis represent not only do he make that celebrated comeback tv special but he also become a father and star in two pretty decent movie a well speedway and live a little and love a little . therefore and personally i can forgive him for the misstep that be stay away and joe which and at best and emerge a an interesting misfire and be not all that bad consider . sure and burgess meredith and joan blondell be indeed embarrass a and respectively and a dopey indian father to elvis character and a bawdy bartender who have her eye on mr. presley too but one be glad to see elvis surround by top veteran hollywood talent like katy jurado ( a meredith mexican wife ) and the two jones henry and l. q. and thomas gomez who be particularly amusing a sarcastic chief thundercloud who be meredith stubborn father still don his old chieftain clothes in the present day . while there be a surprising ( if not unwelcome give their usual blandness ) lack of song and there seem to be no shortage of free for all party be the male indians hit the bottle steadily while presley practice his womanize skill behind their back . a can be expect and the typically western arizona scenery be a major asset here and the sleepy and snore bull gag be not only a good one but a major plot point . on the other hand and the climactic wouldestruction of the house episode be one we have see too often since and doesn not work too well here .
