The other two were Don Siegel and Michael Curtiz. The rest were traffic cops.
Besides Bye Bye Birdie and this one, he directed some of the movies with scenes included in the That’s Entertainment movies – The Harvey Girls, Thousands Cheer, Anchors Away, Annie Get Your Gun, Jupiter’s Darling, Kiss Me Kate, Showboat.
Elvis and Ann Margaret are fun to watch. I think you noted all the high points in the movie.

Elvis is on my mind more than usual this year because I am working on a new book, but I try to keep my Elvis posts down to a minimum.

Its not so different from Angelina saying she fell in love with Brad while they were working together on Mr and Mrs Smith. Which is to say… not much changes in Hollywood when it comes to huge stars and hug star making machinery. And like Brangelina, the chemistry between the two stars, ELvis and A-M is palpable. Which is why the flimsy story hardly matters. Very interesting suzidoll.

Thanks TCM !
suzidoll has a handle on what was going on within the scene and behind the scene and then waaaaay behind the scene and it’s fun to read about these celebrities as they relate to films and in their personal lives.

VIVA is a film that I own and the Tivo is set and ready.

Viva el Rey

Priscilla is a beauty but doesn’t have that fire that Elvis and Ann-Margret have (had). Thanks for profiling these 2, as I didn’t know what was true from rumor! Thanks!
