Kissin' Cousins
One of Elvis' worst movies is on TCM right now. It was largely filmed
around Big Bear, so I am watching it looking to recognize places as they looked 45 years ago. |

Baker, rather than the rough and tough Yukon. High Sierra (Humphrey Bogart) was filmed at Whitney Portal, and Bad Day at Black Rock (Spencer Tracy) in the desert near the Coso Junction rest stop on 395. |

It was as bad as I remembered - it's one of those movies you go to with your girl friend in high school and then ignore the movie. The high point was the clever editing that allowed Elvis to sing a duet between the two characters he portrayed in the movie, with only a few seconds of technical split screen. The Big Bear scenes were pretty much useless as a travelogue. Plot: Elvis is an army lieutenant ordered to help convince his distant relatives in North Carolina to lease mountaintop land to the Army as a military base. Elvis soon meets a lot of young women and a blond male cousin (also Elvis) who seduces the WAC member of the negotiating team. He gets permission for the Army to use one side of the mountain when the Army agrees that all government employees (including revenuers) will stay off the other side. |

I didn't even know about that one. As for characterizing it as his worst... er, I've found them all to be about equal quality, but none of them have a doppleganger Elvis. I did watch one of my favorite movies from that era though the other night, "No Time for Sargeants." It has perhaps my favorite movie line ever. General: "Why aren't you men dead!?" Will Stockdale (Andy Griffith, cheerfully): No excuse, sir! |
