Fun in Acapulco (1963) Reviews

Member Rating:

Elvis Presley stars as Mike Windgren, a former trapeze artist who's suffered from vertigo ever since accidentally dropping his partner during a performance. Working as a lifeguard/entertainer at an Acapulco resort, Mike falls in love with social director Margarita Dauphine (Ursula Andress). With her help, he overcomes his fear of heights in a spectacular high-dive finale. Presley songs featured include "Vino, Dinero y Amor," "Marguerita," "Bossa Nova Baby" and the title tune. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

All you ask from an Elvis movie is a couple a decent songs and a sense of fun, but this flick can't even manage that. The fantastic Ursula Andress is TOTALLY wasted and Elvis is starting to get that "just here for my paycheck" attitude so common in his later movies. Sadly the music is sluggish too - lazy gunk about bold toros and other s'pozedly Mexican themes, with no rockin' hits at all. If you want a first-rate Elvis from this period I recommend "Viva Las Vegas"
