Review

This is the first of Elvis Presley's trio of Hawaii movies. It's also his first with Joan Blackman as his leading lady. It's also the only time Angela Lansbury and Roland Winters-a former Charlie Chan-played his parents. And the second time he's directed by Norman Taurog. In summary, Blue Hawaii has Elvis singing many songs including his hit "Can't Help Falling in Love with You", some jealously between his girlfriend and some of the ladies he tours the island with, an unusually lame performance from Ms. Lansbury as a stereotypical Southern matriarch, a pretty amusing one from Howard McNear as Presley and Ms. Blackman's boss, and a thin plot that is extended by all those numbers! I'll just say that this movie was pretty entertaining despite all that....
