Movie Reviews of The Trouble with Girls
Movie Review: Top-Notch All the Way
Summary: 5 Stars
It had been years since seeing "The Trouble with Girls,' but I remembered it was the only Elvis Presley film my father actually liked (he grinned from ear to ear, belly laughing through it). By the opening credits, you already know everyone meant business in making this film; from the costuming to production values to writing to acting to budget). This is no "Stay Away, Joe!"
Interestingly, Elvis is completely relaxed in a way he rarely seems to be in the bulk of his films from the mid-to-late sixties. He's a little rougher around the edges (a newfound love of cigars), but it all works. He's both invested and confident (perhaps knowing he was soon to depart to a new phase of his career after his '68 Comeback Special). Upon watching this particular film, one might agree Elvis certainly could have handled the acting gravitas needed to pull off "A Star is Born" in 1975, perhaps very realistically garnering his first Oscar nomination. Sadly, it wasn't to be.
But, "The Trouble with Girls", along with "Wild in the Country" (1961), and "King Creole" (1958), feature an Elvis where, upon watching, it's hard to remember how anyone could have viewed him as a poor actor. Of course, all three of these films share common variables: serious actors, talented direction, a tight script, and invested professionals from art design cinematography to costumes.
If none of that is enough, it's worth mentioning Elvis is better looking than a thousand movie stars in this film. He is at his physical and charismatic peak in 1969.
A great little, sadly too-forgotten, film.
