Oh, dear God, no! Well look, okay, we all know that some truly awful music films were made in the 60s (look at most of the dross with Elvis in), and I have to say that this really is awful.
Such lines as "gee, can I sing my song now" punctuate the film throughout, as do pointless dance scenes... oh, not proper choreography such as with Oliver! or Guys and Dolls, but just dreadful F-rated actors and actresses swinging on the beach.
Oh and then we have the Fat Spy himself, who must be in his late 50s. He joins in the swinging (sadly, dancing, nothing blue) and when the cats and dudes (or whatever they called girls and boys) talk about him, one of the girls said that he was at school in New York. For freud's sake - he looks about 50! Oh dear God! Well look, yes Elvis filmed some dross, but at least his films were partially saved by the songs and by his charisma. The songs in this piece of.... of... I can't think of a non-rude word... are just awful. Poorly recorded, terrible lip synch... to be honest the whole film could have been done better by a film student who has only attended Cinematography 101.
There we go... now for goodness sake, get off this board and go watch a decent old movie like Oh, Mr Porter or if you fancy some flimsy popcorn pap, maybe something like Bullet Proof Monk (yes its mediocre, but the two leads have more charm in their little toes than this whole movie!)
