'Elvis does an adequate job carrying the movie, playing his natural self in a project that was produced solely to capitalize on his return to civilian life.'

Attention Elvis fans this Jolly little family movie has great songs and being early on in his acting career is pretty easy to watch Elvis looking good in his army uniform and the acting isn't to bad The story line chuffs along like a Frankfurt train. love story with a happy ending. loosely tied into his draft into the army in the late fifties. In his top ten movies one to watch.

It's probably the campiest move ever. I LOVE it. I think I love all of the songs. Wooden Heart and What's She Really Like ruined me for life. I thought thought that's how romantic all men were. Oh well.

Definitely one of Elvis's more strong films. Also one of his most charming roles that he has done. Since we know his movies are formulaic, this one less forced. The recycled plot actually worked for the direction of the film. Plus, the supporting characters were more fun. And the soundtrack was up there.
