Already suspended as a airline pilot, he and partner Danny Kohana (James Shigeta) struggle to keep their business flying. Suzanna Leigh plays the pretty secretary, but Elvis does not limit his affections to just one girl. Technical credits and locations scenes of the beautiful islands are the highlight of the film. Presley warbles his usual slew of songs, but most are unremarkable. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Janet Branagan, Apollo Guide
A cookie cutter creation, churned out for an existing fan base and little else.
