Elvis Presley Movie:

Editorial Review:
Not the worst Elvis picture, but not near the top, either. This is the one with Elvis as a Navy frogman, diving for sunken treasure--which means lots of underwater photography (inspired by Thunderball, perhaps?). What's fun about it is seeing Elvis collide with the summer of love: he falls in with a beatnik buddy (Pat Harrington in a goatee) and meets a commune of artsy hippie types; they stage obscure "happenings," and Elvis calls 'em "kooks." It says something, though, when the musical highlight is a number called "Yoga Is as Yoga Does," staged in Elsa Lanchester's groovy yoga class. E.P. looks indifferent to the proceedings, an understandable reaction given the painful quality of the comedy (especially the old sea salt who's never been on water). The red Dodge convertible is sweet, however. --Robert Horton

Easy Come, Easy Go [Region 2] Reviews:
Elvis Presley Movies - all excellent and in good condition
2009-11-22 - I have purchased approximately 20 movies from Amazon.com and they were all sent in a timely fashion and in good condition. I recommend Amazon.Com for all your
DVD's.

One of his worst films
2009-08-31 - If Easy Come, Easy Go is not the worst film Elvis ever did, it is one of his worst. Not that his performance is bad, but the script and storyline are. It was obvious that Colonel Tom was cutting back on the what he was paying script writers inorder to try to make a quick buck. Even the songs in this one are not very good. Movies like this one are what killed Elvis' movie career and reputation as an actor. His management should have been fired for getting him into this one!

Pass on this and get one of his early movies (Jaihouse Rock or King Creole are good) or maybe Blue Hawaii or GI Blues (they are far better than this one).

Not Really An Apt Title
2006-03-21 - I remember managing to find a drive-in that was showing the first run ECEG; and I remember my girlfriend not saying a word while we watched. She was too kind. In retrospect, it was so totally wrong for the time that one almost has to respect it. I say almost. It was a numbing experience then and the most one can say for it now is: At least the Elvis impersonators will leave it alone. The story is weak, the co-stars are painful, and the soundtrack so bad, the weakest selling record of Elvis' career managed to kill of the Extended Playing record. But , for all that, it is Elvis, and the true beliver will find something in it worth carrying away. Its just best watched alone.

Elvis In The Psychedelic Sixties
2005-01-09 - Elvis Presley stars as Lieutenant Ted Jackson, a Naval SCUBA diver, who discovers a sunken ship while deactivating a mine. He decides not to re-enlist and teams up with his former band member and partner Pat Harrington, the notorious maintenance man of "One Day at a Time" fame, to help him find a possible treasure in the shipwreck. However, the best character in this movie is yoga teacher Elsa Lanchester, who played the Bride of Frankenstein, co-starring with Boris Karloff. The soundtrack is excellent, with Elvis singing and strumming six wacky tunes, including the unforgettable "Yoga Is as Yoga Does".

Groovy and Shaggy
2003-01-31 - Once again Elvis is hip and ahead of his time in this odd and zany movie. Fun for the whole family.
