We just rented 'Fun in Acapulco', a 1963 Elvis Presley film. Elvis plays this gringo who is running from his past, hiding in [what was at the time] Mexico's finest resort destination. The film is absolutely hilarious, but to Elvis' defense, the musical performances R top notch. I'm hoping to rip a few from the DVD, can't imagine this soundtrack is available anywhere.
And Memphis was nearly mesmerized by the musical performances. Elvis in his prime had this effect on all young ladies.
Check it out if U get a chance. If my memory still works... seem to recall a few of the dresses in the movie being worn by an aunt of mine. Viva Acapulco!
