Description of Girls Girls Girls (1962):
Hawaii seems like an afterthought in Elvis's second island outing. Half the musical numbers take place on boats (including the seasick-making title tune) and half in a Trader Vic's-style nightclub, so there's little good use of the exotic locale. There's little use of that lovable dish Stella Stevens, either, who's relegated to "other woman" duty as Elvis courts bland Laurel Goodwin. Goodwin's a rich girl going incognito, while E.P. is a penniless fisherman who dreams of owning his own boat. You finish the plot. The King is in good voice here, although the songs are fairly weak, with some curious flings at calypso and flamenco mixed in. He comes to shoulder-shaking life for "Return to Sender," a sizzling number that shows how his entire being could be possessed by a musical moment. This movie doesn't have enough of those to boost it into the upper tier of Elvis pictures. --Robert Horton
Girls Girls Girls (1962) Reviews:
LIGHT AND SWEET FOR ELVIS FANS 
2009-03-11 - Girls! Girls! Girls! is a 1962 musical comedy film starring Elvis Presley as a penniless fisherman who loves his life on the sea and dreams of owning his own boat.
The film was shot on location in Hawaii.
Nominated for Best Motion Picture - Musical at the 1963 ceremony. The winner that year was The Music Man.The soundtrack songs were recorded in March 1962 at the Radio Recorders Studios in Hollywood, California with the songs "Where Do You Come From" and "I Don't Want To" added to the music album released to coincide with the film's debut. The Leiber-Stoller title track was a hit for The Coasters in 1961 before being adapted for the Presley film. Besides the album itself, "Return to Sender" was released as a single and became a major hit for Elvis.
Several additional songs were recorded for the film and not released concurrently. This includes "Plantation Rock" which was not released until the 1980s (actor Rob Schneider himself a big Elvis fan, performed the song when he appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 1996), "Mama", which appeared on an early 1970s RCA Camden compilation and "Dainty Little Moonbeams" which appeared in the 1990s. The songs performed by Stella Stevens in the film have yet to be commercially released.
Elvis! Elvis! Elvis!
2009-03-09 - Elvis Presley energizes the screen in this formulaic musical-comedy from producer Hal Wallis. "Girls! Girls! Girls!" (1962) does not rank among the King's finest efforts, yet his engaging performance goes a long way toward redeeming a humdrum script. The uneven soundtrack includes two memorable songs from Otis Blackwell and Winfield Scott: the smash hit "Return to Sender" and the underrated "We're Comin' in Loaded." Amazingly enough, "Girls! Girls! Girls!" received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Motion Picture Musical (but lost to "The Music Man").
It's great movie!!! 
2008-07-29 - This movie was great and the picture and sound was good. I enjoyed the movie. I love Elvis music and he was excellent singer. Especially he was singing with an little dance, that was great. This movie was fun and joy.
Girls,Girls,Glrls By Elvis Presley
2008-06-13 - I am a big Elvis fan so just about everything he did movies or cd i own them and like every one of them. I also have a lot of pictures and statue of him.
tuna-fishermen, nightclub stars and "girls girls girls"
2007-12-15 - GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS! isn't one of Elvis Presley's most distinguished screen outings; but it provides a pleasant diversion nevertheless.
Set amongst the islands of Hawaii, Presley plays tuna-fisherman/tour-guide Ross Carpenter, trying to make ends meet so he can buy his dream boat and go into business for himself. Adding complications is Carpenter's love triangle with two very different dames: jaded nightclub singer Robin (Stella Stevens), and young heiress Laurel (Laurel Goodwin), who's looking to experience life on the other side of the social divide.
Presley gets to sing no less than fourteen(!) musical numbers. Laurel Goodwin (a snub-nosed Debbie Reynolds clone) is quite pretty but fails to make any lasting impression. Producers really dropped a clanger in letting vivacious Stella Stevens go to waste in a thankless supporting role; she deserved better material here. Stevens' singing was dubbed by Gilda Maiken.
With it's exotic location filming and the charm of Presley, GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS! will be a welcome title for fans, yet others will wonder what the fuss is all about. The DVD offers no extra features. (Single-sided, dual-layer disc).
