Having just been fired as a pilot for a large commercial airline, "Greg 'Rick' Richards" (Elvis Pressley) returns to his home in Hawaii and along with his good friend "Danny Kohana" (James Shigeta) decide to open up a helicopter service for tourists to some of the local islands. To further the idea along Rick also entices several former girlfriends to guide tourists to them. What neither Rick nor Danny count on, however, is the risk involved in their enterprise. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an okay "Elvis movie" which greatly benefited from the beautiful tropical scenery and some of the lovely actresses involved with Irene Tsu (as "Pua"), Linda Wong ("Lehua Kewani"), Marianna Hill ("Lani Kaimana") and Suzanna Leigh ("Judy Hudson") to name a few. On the flip side, however, the songs weren't anything to write home about and they tended to detract from the overall entertainment value in my opinion. In any case, this I thought that this was a decent film all things considered and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
