Synopsis
One of
Elvis Presley
's most successful post-Army vehicles, Blue Hawaii casts Elvis as scion to a Hawaiian pineapple fortune. His snooty mother
Angela Lansbury
wants Presley to take over the management of the family business, but he'd rather make his own way in the world. He lands a job at a tourist agency, and incidentally finds time to dally with such lovelies as
Joan Blackman
and Nancy Walters.
Steve Brodie
, as ever, is on hand to inveigle Elvis into an outsized brawl. Among the songs featured in the film are the title number (originally written in 1937 for
Bing Crosby
) and "Can't Help Falling in Love." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
