Yes I remember the early Elvis movies. They were too many girls in bikinis for one man to survive kind of thing. I wasn't sold on them.

Certainly not the best movies ever made, but as a young guy at the time, the girls were worth the price of admission. Also I seemed to recall reading that Elvis wanted to make "serious" movies, but apparently the powers that be were making too much $$ on the  movies where there was music and girls in bikinis to alter the format. Not sure he would have ever been accepted as a serious actor in any case.
