This story has a bit more going for it than your average elvis film! Most of the time, it was just girl trouble, which always seemed to revolve around the elvis. In this one, "guy" goes on tour in europe and gets caught up in jewel smuggling operation. But first he meets jill (annette day, who was SO much younger than he), who decides she's going to marry him. Even before they have kissed! For most of the movie, she's dressed up as a young school girl, just to make the story even stranger. The usual mix of catchy tunes (long legged girl) and a bunch of forgettable songs. He actually sings old macdonald, at one point. Some familiar faces: jill's uncle is john williams, who was also the chauffeur in sabrina. Leon askin (general burkhalter!) is in here as the inspector. Check out the wiere brothers in wikipedia dot org... they were an act in vaudeville, and made several film and tv appearances from 1930s to the 1960s. They are they coppers who bring guy in for questioning, and probably the best part of the film. The storyline is odd, the choice of musical numbers is odd, and there's just a strange chemistry between everyone. The first half is slow as molasses, but it does pick up about halfway through. It's just okay. Of course, elvis fans should watch it, for historical reasons. Directed by the usual director norman taurog.
I am amazed this movie has at the moment so little stars compared to other Elvis movies.
Contrary to other comments I find Elvis in top form in this movie, very much in shape (I think his wedding was just around the corner) and charming. For an Elvis flick it was refreshing that the setting is in Europe and I find the direction and sets reflecting this quite well. Being European (an Englishman in Holland) I thoroughly enjoyed the old fashioned footage of different countries in that time and the sets.
There are quite a few good songs in the soundtrack and the story, though corny (an Elvis Flick), is entertaining and funny.

This was actually a decent movie but not great. It was a step up from the movies that he had been recently doing.Elvis plays Guy Lambert touring Europe, which Elvis wanted to do in real life. Unfortunately Guy gets mixed up in a scandal, and he and his love interest are running for their lives. The only part that I didn't like was Elvis sining "Old MacDonald."
Guy Lambert (Elvis Presley) is a rock star touring Europe and chasing girls. In London, he brings Jill Conway back to his hotel room but it turns out badly. Jill's uncle Gerald Waverly is trying to keep her and her inheritance under his control. Guy is shocked to learn that she's a love-struck underage girl but she continues to pursue him. They get stuck in a jewel smuggling scheme when two criminals hide their jewels in her luggage. Someone is also trying to kill them.
Elvis always has his natural charms. I actually like his womanizing troubles. They humanizes him. I would change Jill age by advancing it four days. It would be funnier if she considers him her birthday present and less awkward if there isn't the smell of illegality. He can still try to keep her at arm's length due to her clinginess. Otherwise, I really like her character and she has fun with Elvis. I am surprised that Annette Day did not continue to act. This is her one and only notable appearance. The three idiot cops do go too far but I do understand having the Insp. Clouseau wannabes for comedic purposes. The movie struggles to keep going after someone dies. The death should be the climax instead of being in the middle. As for Elvis, he sings, he charms, and he Karate-chops. It's light Elvis fun with murder and mayhem.

In this one, singer Guy Lambert (played by Elvis) is touring Europe. Actually, most of the film takes place in Belgium. Lambert is all tangled up in a spy, diamond smuggling and love affair. All that is very complicated for nothing because the movie is not so good. Actually, if you're not an unconditional fan of Elvis, you could easily skip this one. You won't miss anything. For the fans though, Elvis sings a few songs including: Long-Legged Girl, Could I Fall in Love and a unique version of Old MacDonald Had a Farm. Annette Day is not very convincing in the role of Jill, the girl who's falling for Elvis. I gave it a 5.
