GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

mark.waltz After being fired as a yacht crew member thanks to an obnoxious teenaged girl, sexy Elvis Presley gets to swing those hips to a Latin beat in a local nightclub. There, he becomes the object of affection of two beautiful women, Ursula Andres and Elsa Cardenas while dealing with old fears as a high diver after an incident as a trapeze artist. With the help of the adorable Larry Domasin, Elvis is able to solve his problems, all the while wondering sardonically if Domasin is a 40 year old midget. As W.C. Fields warned older actors, cute children, especially ethnic ones, are scene stealers. Fun and frivolous, this has some great musical moments, especially a bike riding duet entitled "Mexico" with the scene stealing Domasin. But even with his dark hair and tan, it's obvious that Presley is as Caucasian as they come, his southern drawl a dead giveaway. The romantic subplot is rather unimportant, although Cardenas is quite striking in her matador outfit. But it's obvious that this is Hollywood's dream ideal of a friendly, tourist loving Mexico, no social issues and no reflection on the real issues of the 60's. Poor Paul Lukas is wasted in a minor role as Andres's papa, looking like a Hungarian chef Boyardee. But oh that scenery...so gorgeous, you can practically taste it!

Wuchak Released in 1963, "Fun in Acapulco" stars Elvis Presley as a lifeguard/singer at a ritzy Mexican resort who stirs the interest of two women and rivalry of a Mexican diver. As with most of Elvis' movies, he sings a song every 7-12 minutes.While the story takes place in Acapulco and a lot of scenes were shot at a resort there, Elvis never set foot in Mexico during filming, presumably due to his busy schedule. This becomes clear as you watch the movie: Several cast members clearly shot some scenes at the actual resort (Ursula Andress, Elsa Cárdenas and Alejandro Rey), but whenever interaction with Elvis is required, out comes the rear-projection. Some good examples include Presley's bike ride with the Mexican kid, Elvis & Ursula along the street and every shot with Elvis and another character sitting or standing near a wall overlooking the ocean. The film is such a lark and rear-projection was so prevalent back then that the movie works in spite of this, but it was definitely noticeable and therefore excessive.As far as the women go, forget Marguerita (Andress) and Delores (Cárdenas) (as fine as they are), I'll take Janie (Teri Hope), the petite blond on the boat at the beginning. She had the requisite curves.The film runs 97 minutes.GRADE: C

roelou Light hearted happy go lucky but troubled womanizer, trapeze artist & singer turned cliff diver? It's fun to see these movies 50 years later. I understand that Elvis got very tired of this formula & wanted more serious roles. It's also easy to understand why the movie executives were reluctant to do that. Boy like looks & THE Voice. As usual, they stick with what worked & what was safe. One hit song from the otherwise forgettable sound track. Although I found this to be a very silly movie, to be fair it was a very different era & you have to consider who the target audience was. As always, pretty girls abound. Include a fight scene with a bad guy who becomes a friend Later & cut, print it. Next very similar script please. That's entertainment 60's style.

gazzo-2 .....You can see Garr in a few scenes, yer basic bikini/dancer gal as she was in all these Elvis flix-Viva Las Vegas, Roustabout, etc. She is listed here as being born in '49 (yeah guys...)-but Leslie Halliwell had is right-1944. Hello!!!!! Do yer homework IMDB.As for the flick-this is a FUN Elvis meets Mexico meets Ursula movie, typical travelogue, see him dance, rumbha, romance Ursula, etc. All the usual things he did-but here he seemed to be having fun doing it. The movie does have 'Bossa Nova Baby', his last top 10 before the British invasion too.**1/2
