CLAMBAKE - Elvis @ The Movies

Elvis' twenty-fifth film was 'Clambake', made in 1967

Cast
Scott Hayward – Elvis
Diane Carter – Shelley Fabares
Tom Wilson – Will Hutchins
James J Jamison – Bill Bixby

In 'Clambake Elvis plays the rich young Scott Heyward, who trades places with the poor but happy Tom Wilson,.
Scott is eager to be accepted for himself and not his money, while Tom seeks to know the lifestyle that money can bring. The beaches of Florida are the setting for 'Clambake' and the movie culminates with the running of the Orange Bowl International Power Boat Regatta.

Elvis' leading lady for this movie was Shelley Fabares. This was their third film together, having previously worked together on Girl Happy & Spinout.
Supporting actor Will Hutchins had also worked with Elvis in spinout.
Bill Bixby (of hulk fame) played Elvis' competition for both the girl and the speedboat race in the movie

Songs in the movie were

Clambake
Who needs money
A house that has everything
Confidence
Hey Hey Hey
The girl never loved
How can you lose what you never had


I watched this movie again this morning and have to say it was an enjoyable watch The songs not very good, I cant say I particularly liked any of them though Hey Hey Hey I think is quite a catchy number – if only the main lyrics was not about gloop!!

We got a magic potion that will help us win
I don't know how to spell it but dip right in
Glyco-oxytonic phosphate, it's the latest scoop
But that's all right girls you can call it "Goop"


Jeez...


I have to say I'd be glued to the telly if he was reading the weather report, but at the same time something inside me churns with resentment that they had him do songs like this rubbish (Although I have to say the young lady with the stripey trousers helps me get through this one..

hehe Johnny - yep its a shame some of the songs, I quite like the tune to hey hey hey its just them lyrics hehe - still though enjoyed watching the mvie in bed yesterday morning with tea n biccies
