INCLUDING BLUE HAWAII; KING CREOLE; ROUSTABOUT; G.I. BLUES; GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS!; PARADISE HAWAIIAN STYLE; FUN IN ACAPULCO; EASY COME EASY GO.Blue HawaiiThe year was 1961. Fallout shelters dot suburban backyards. Ken joins Barbie. Roger Maris slugs 61 home runs. And Elvis Presley is in paradise playing an ex-G.I. who comes home to Blue Hawaii. His mother (Angela Lansbury) expects him to climb the corporate ladder. But Elvis would rather wear an aloha shirt than a white collar so he goes to work as a tour guide. Lucky Elvis: his first customers are a careful of cuties. Elvis lovely scenery lovelier girls and rock-a-hula songs - now that's paradise!Fun in AcapulcoThe year was 1963. The hot line links the White House and the Kremlin. The first major pop art exhibition stirs up a major buzz. The Whisky-A-Go-Go opens. And in Fun In Acapulco Elvis heads south of the border where he’s fired as a boat hand hired as a lifeguard and singer admired by local beauties (including Ursula Andress) and inspired to jump off a 136-foot cliff. Put another way: he overcomes a fear of heights in spectacular fashion. Spectacular too are the scenic vistas and Latin-beat tunes. Dive in!King CreoleThe year was 1958. Everybody’s datin’ at the drive-in. America launches its first satellite. The novel Lolita stirs up controversy. And Elvis Presley gives Bourbon Street a new beat in King Creole. He plays a troubled youth whose singing sets the French Quarter rockin’. With a sweet girl to love him and nightclubbers cheering it looks like Elvis will shake off his past and head for the top. But will a mobster (Walter Matthau) and his man-trap moll (Carolyn Jones) snare him in a life of crime?RoustaboutThe year was 1964. The miniskirt is in. If you can’t Watusi you can’t dance. Cassius Clay (soon to be Muhammad Ali) claims the heavyweight crown. And Elvis is a karatechopping biker who’s hired as a carnival Roustabout. At first he just provides muscle and a diversion for the beautiful carny girls. Then he picks up a guitar and gets the midway rockin’. Looks like this talented tough guy may be what the good-hearted owner (Barbara Stanwyck) needs to save her travelling show from bankruptcy. Easy Come Easy GoThe year was 1967. It's Packers vs. Chiefs in the first Super Bowl. Twiggy is a supermodel sensation. America's 100000000th telephone is installed. And Elvis dives for dollars in Easy Come Easy Go. On his last day in the Navy frogman Elvis discovers a sunken treasure ship. On his first day as a civilian Elvis starts his new job-self-employed treasure hunter! Fans will dig these treasures too: Rockin' tunes romance with a go-go dancer underwater action and The King twisted like a human pretzel at a groovy 60's yogafest Costarring Elsa Lanchester (Bride of Frankenstein).GI BluesThe year was 1960. A payola scandal shocks the music world. Movie fans are introduced to glorious Smell-O-Vision. The 50-star flag is adopted. And in G.I. Blues Elvis adopts an on-screen persona he knows well in real life–a singin’ G.I. in West Germany. Eager to open a stateside nightclub after his hitch in khakis he takes part in a wager to raise the dough he needs. The bet: he can melt the iceberg heart of a willowy dancer (Juliet Prowse). But all bets may be off when real love intervenes…Girls! Girls! Girls!The year was 1962. Teens twist at the Peppermint Lounge. John Glenn orbits Earth. Wilt Chamberlain scores 100 points in a single game. And Elvis digs the possibilities of Girls! Girls! Girls! This time he’s a charter-boat skipper who helps tourists land the big ones. Of course plenty of beautiful girls (including Stella Stevens) want to land Elvis. But there’s something Elvis likes almost as much as romance–a boat! He yearns for a sleek sailboat with a $10000 price tag. Let’s see that makes him about $9999 short.Paradise Hawaiian StyleThe year was 1966. A little-known series called Star Trek™ beams up. Valley of the Dolls is the hot book. Half of all TVs sold are color sets. And in Paradise Hawaiian Style Elvis takes to the skies over the island paradise of Kauai. He’s a partner in a helicopter charter service. Romance naturally is in the air for the King…but his business may be grounded. A threatened suspension of his pilot’s license means he may have to kiss his assets goodbye.
