Elvis has obviously been tucking into the cheeseburgers during the making of this rubbish. Elvis looks overweight with piggy eyes. His hair looks dyed off his head and is wig like. Its hard to believe that less than 1 year later he was strutting his stuff on stage at NBC studios in his black leather outfit looking better than he has ever looked at 33 years old. Thank God for the '68 comeback special. However I did read somewhere that he was taking speed to suppress his appetite up to 3 months before the cameras started rolling for the '68. It worked coz he looked slim and fit and dripping with charisma. He also looked happy and relaxed which I reckon was the direct result of not having to make any more crap movies like Clambake.
