The year was 1961. Fallout shelters dot suburban backyards. Ken joins Barbie. Roger Maris slugs 61 home runs. And Elvis Presley is in paradise, playing an ex-G.I. who comes home to Blue Hawaii. His mother (Angela Lansbury) expects him to climb the corporate ladder. But Elvis would rather wear an aloha shirt than a white collar, so he goes to work as a tour guide. (Paramount Home Entertainment)

One of the three Elvis movies from Hawaii: Blue Hawaii was followed by the films Girls! Girls! Girls! and Paradise, Hawaiian Style. At the time, it was a very successful affair, and there were no problems, even though his mother was played by Angela Lansbury, who was only 10 years older. Surprisingly, even the screenplay, which actually did not exist and looked like a fictional sequel to G. I. Blues, was nominated for the Writers Guild of America award in the category of Best Written American Musical.
