(Fishing scene.)

Elvis Presley performs "Return to Sender" in the club. It would be his final UK and US chart topper from a movie in which he starred.

The only one of Elvis Presley's feature film to be nominated for a Golden Globe award.

According to "The Book of Lists 2" by Irving Wallace et al., this was the most widely televised of all Elvis Presley's films.

When Ross and Laurel walk outside the Pirates Den, two Blue Hawaii (1961) movie posters are visible.

When Elvis Presley is performing "Return to Sender", Jackie Wilson was on the set that day. He actually was in the audience of the bar/club in the film.

Continuity

At least once during the movie, Ross suddenly goes from being sockless to wearing socks (e.g., near end of "We're Coming in Loaded").

When the small skiff takes Elvis and his lady off the larger vessel, the skiff rounds the front of the other boat and collides with it. It's obvious that the damage is catastrophic as the guy sat in the skiff's stern is under water but in the next frame(s) the skiff is fine.



Audio/visual unsynchronized

At about 0:15:00 as Ross is leaving the club he says "Girls", but Elvis doesn't appear to be saying anything.
