Fun in Acapulco
Come With Elvis to Fabulous Acapulco!
Directed by Richard Thorpe
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Wallis-Hazen Inc.
A breezy, sun-soaked musical comedy set in an idyllic Mexican resort, built on charm, romance, and lighthearted rivalry.
Mike Windgren works on a boat in Acapulco, but when the bratty daughter of its owner gets him fired, Mike finds new work as a lifeguard and singer at a local hotel. Tensions increase when Mike runs afoul of the rival lifeguard—also the champion diver of Mexico.
