Movie Reviews of Girl Happy
Movie Review: "King" Fever
Summary: 5 Stars
At long last,after all the dashed hopes and anxieties,we finally have a remastered studio print of the best Elvis comedy ever: GIRL HAPPY.This movie had wonderful casting(no one else could come close to Harold J. Stone's performance as "Big Frank".He was so intimidating all through the movie,and turns into an old softie by films' end);Fabrizio Mioni(from 1959's "Hercules" w/Steve Reeves) as the Italian exchange student who must have been the original "marine biology" major,as long as it was female biology!;Gary Crosby and his various attempts at German and Yiddish accents,explaining why he can't be trusted to protect Shelly Fabares:" I'm too well-trained the other way!"Jackie Coogan(Uncle Fester)as Ft. Lauderdale police Sgt.Benson, who arrests all the college kids;John Fiedler as the motel manager(NO Boys in the Room!!);
MaryAnn Mobley(never more sexy and alluring) as Deena,perpetually frustrated with Elvis' passion-interruptus(she was drop-dead gorgeous in that black-and-white print dress,showing why she won the Miss America Crown);Shelley Fabares in her best of three co-starring roles opposite Elvis,with that adorably cute little "flip" hairdo and peachy-sweet face(not to mention a great figure,as evidenced in the "She's Evil" number,dancing around Elvis in that sexy outfit.Eat your heart out Britney!);and finally The King himself,giving as always 200% of himself for the sake of his loyal fans.Let's face it,in 1965 the only way you were going to get to see Elvis was on a movie screen.He knew this,and did the best he could with the material presented.But in this film,it all "clicks":the story,the location,the characters,and the songs.Walt Disney said musical numbers in a movie should always support and advance the plot,and all the songs in Girl Happy meet this requirement handily.One of the best musical scenes is when Elvis and guys,and Shelley and girls are driving down to Florida in their convertibles(all color-coordinated)singing,"Spring Fever",alternating verses.You can see how much fun they were having with this scene,just watch the antics of Elvis,Gary,Jimmy Hawkins(of"It's A Wonderful Life" fame),and Joby Baker in that cramped car.They are constantly laughing and joking around.Honorable mention to Peter Brooks(Brentwood Von Durgenfeld...BVD)and Nita Talbot(Sunny Daze the stripper) for great comic support.I guarantee if you watch this movie,you will have fun,fun,fun and want to watch it again and again.I just can't fathom why it took all this time to release it on DVD.All I can say is,"It Was Worth the Wait"
