See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 08/30/2017 Kissin' Cousins is an okay film. It is about an Army officer who returns to the Smoky Mountains tries to convince his kinfolk to allow the Army to build a missile site on their land. Elvis Presley and Arthur O'Connell give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Gene Nelson did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the music and romance. See more 08/29/2017 This a great fun flick. Elvis Presley & Cynthia Pepper play off of each other beautifully. Blond Elvis, Ha... Who knew? See more 02/02/2016 A very fluffy, fun movie. Cynthia Pepper is fantastic in this with Elvis. See more Read all reviews
