Elvis and Hawaii go together like one of Graceland's peanut-butter-and-banana sandwiches. To be honest, though, Paradise, Hawaiian Style finds the King looking puffier and sleepier than he did in the salad days of Blue Hawaii. Making matters worse is the song selection and the prominence of an allegedly adorable child actor--always a bad thing in an Elvis picture. Despite all that, there's something casually likable about the film: costar James Shigeta is a welcome performer (he plays the island pilot who goes into business with flyboy Elvis), leading lady Susanna Leigh is an above-average companion, and the location shooting is a big upgrade over the cardboard backdrops of many late-career Presley vehicles. Extended musical sequences take place at the Polynesian Cultural Center--nothing wrong with that, but rock & roll has been left pretty far behind. --Robert Horton

- Elvis Bored Out of His Skull
An overweight Elvis Presley musters little enthusiasm for producer Hal Wallis' 1966 rehash of "Blue Hawaii." In all fairness, if you were saddled with humiliating numbers such as "Queenie Wahine's Papaya" and "A Dog's Life," you would beat a hasty retreat to Graceland and forget the movie existed. With a better song selection and more commitment from Elvis, "Paradise, Hawaiian Style" might have been pretty good. The scenery is quite impressive and the cast agreeable.

- It was good.
This was the oddest Elvis movie I have ever watched. The whole movie was like a travel guide to Hawaii. It wasn't about the King. He spent the whole movie promising every girl on the islands that he was going to "scratch their back.. if they scratched his" He co-owned a helicopter company that transports people back and forth around the islands. It made me feel like I was at the Tiki-Room in Disneyland. One of my favorite parts was the dog transport. He has 6 dogs that need to get to a dog show. He sings ... Read More
