Film made on a shoestring budget in '65(and it shows). Nevertheless this film is a lot of fun if you just sit back and go with the flow. One of the screenwriters used to write for the 3 Stooges. So, there's a lot of those types of gags. Good script(for this type of movie). Good supporting cast.
Excellent soundtrack made up of previously released tunes. I love the whole
"Silverado" ghost town sequence when Lonnie and friends are caught by the rainstorm. Hillarious!!

It will be out on dvd next january in Holland, cant wait haven't seen this one yet, just like Charro.

is the song dirty, dirty feeling in this movie? i LOVE that song!

Tickle Me is one of my favorite Elvis movies.

Good songs in the movie too.

And i have always liked the opening song "Long Lonely Highway"

I really like that one.
It's not the stereotype Elvis-Vehicle but more in the "Martin & Lewis" Style. So you have that kind of comedy elements which are bringing that movie onto a higher level.

Another point is that they used some old songs which were not written especially for the movie. The quality improvement is enormous.
