Early on, in Elvis' list of films. Fresh out of the actual military service, Elvis plays Tulsa, soldier, stationed in Germany, and is saving up, with his friends, to buy a nightclub. as usual, girls get in the way. and there's a bet to be won. overly complicated plot. and pretty outdated... they would never be allowed to do the same plot now! Juliet Prowse in her second credited role. She's Lili, object of the soldiers' misguided attention. wikipedia tells us that scenery from several places in deutchland were actually used, but all of EP's acting took place on the studio lot. Britt Eckland (Mrs. Peter Sellers !) was the redhead.... apparently her very first role. the usual misunderstandings. kind of a relationship-formula film. Directed by Norman Taurog. He and Elvis P made NINE films together. there's colonel tom in the credits as technical advisor. Prowse died young at 59 (cancer)... and of course, Elvis died even younger at 42.
