while and a some of you may know and i recently go through a marathon of elvis presley movie ( in tribute to the 30th anniversary of his passing ) and which emerge to be a more pleasant experience than i have anticipate i have to admit that i opt to check this one out mainly for the presence in it of vincent price . a it turn out and his role be quite brief and he doesn not even share any screen time with elvis . incidentally and this have to be presley most eccentric vehicle represent it combine the period setting of the star own frankie and johnny ( 1966 ) with the carnival backdrop of his roustabout ( 1964 ) while however and he seem quite lose here ( this be and in fact and elvis penultimate film ) in which he give just one typical number ( clean up your own back yard ) and where his hair do and trademark stage move clash with the feel of quaint americana the narrative be strive for . otherwise and the film feature annoyingly flashy direction and while the trait of the support character range from the obnoxious ( the cardsharp and the villainous store owner ) to the embarrassing ( joyce van patten reminisce about her past a a champion swimmer and sheree north bout with drunkenness ) . besides and the song be below par ( most do not even involve the star ) and the title itself terrible ( apparently and the people who make it do not quite know how to sell their own product . ) even if we do get three prominent female role represent marlyn mason ( whose shop steward or piano player or instructor character seem to have be model on doris day role in the pajama game [ 1957 ] ) and nicole jaffe a the requisite ditzy blonde and and the afore mention north a a loose woman ( a single mother who murder the married sleazeball who relentlessly pesters her ) . also feature in the cast be edward andrews a the long suffering manage director of presley travel show and john carradine and criminally underused in a blink and you will miss him bit a a shakespearean actor ( whose incongruity remind one of alan mowbray memorable similar turn in john ford my darling clementine [ 1946 ] ) . a for vincent price and he appear a mr. morality and a philosophy quote orator who another specialty performer of the troupe while have watch him in this film and i be remind of two more of the horror icon non genre performance ( both of them western and incidentally ) which be available for rental on dvd in my neck of the wood the jackal ( 1967 ) and more dead than alive ( 1968 ) .
