Clambake
It's ELVIS barreling... biking... bikini-ing and belting out that W I L D Presley beat
Directed by Arthur H. Nadel
Produced by Rhodes Pictures, Levy-Gardner-Laven
A breezy, sun-soaked romantic comedy built around Elvis's charisma, musical numbers, and a lighthearted identity-swap premise set in a glamorous Florida resort.
The heir to an oil fortune trades places with a water-ski instructor at a Florida hotel to see if girls will like him for himself, rather than his father's money.
