Elvis Presley reunites with Shelley Fabares for this typical Elvis film, filled with girls, music, and fast vehicles. This film includes a Corvette concept car and some racing boats. But the music is mediocre at best.
Shelley is a gold-digger looking to trap a wealthy man. She sets her sights on Bill Bixby, race boat driver. Elvis is a wealthy man masquerading as a water skiing instructor, so he flies under her radar. Inevitably, of course, the ruse is revealed.
This is one of the thinner Elvis films. In my opinion, Shelley Fabares--despite the writing--is the highlight of this production.
Because there is actually a song titled "Clambake" in this film, you have to wonder if they were naming these films just to make it difficult for the songwriters, as a joke.
