Clambake

Summary: Poor quality rip-off!
Review: While "Clambake" was certainly not at the top of the heap of Elvis fun-in-the-sun movies, the least they could have done was do a competent job with the mastering of this disk. The quality, while not the worst I've seen, is below average and there are flaws galore, most noticeably at about 48:40 where the picture is so wavy that appears like it was shot underwater until a thick white line washes across the screen from botton to top and resolves the image. Does no one even view these things before the discs are pressed and sold? What a rip-off!!

Review: You don't judge Elvis movies on any other criterion than that of Elvis movies....
Here's what this one has........ELVIS HAS A WEIRD PERSONA.OK so he is a millionaire's son who poses as a ski instructor.ELVIS HAS A BABE...the amazing Shelley Fabares,. who plays a gold digging babe...CULT TV FIGURE....Bill Bixby (Incredible Hulk)plays a rich guy and he has a karate fight with Elvis. REALLY ODD SONGS...Confidence is a rip off of that old song High Hopes. There is an assembly line Bimbo number with the old veteran actor Gary Merrill.Elvis sings a song about Clambakes.HIGH SPEED FINALE....a boat race....STRANGELY UNFUNNY FUNNY MAN..Will Hutchins turns in a painfully unfunny performance as Elvis's friend.
Ok...this is a truly cult experience...If you like the gentle reminder of an era when they created star vehicles(imagine twenty Mariah Carey Films)that were fluffy, and really dumb....here is the ticket.
