Kissin' Cousins
ELViS feudin' ELViS lovin' ELViS swingin'....as he joins his mountain kinfolk for a hey, hey, hayride to good ol' mountain music!
Directed by Gene Nelson
Produced by Four-Leaf Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A lighthearted Elvis vehicle that trades on the novelty of a dual role and mountain-folk charm, prioritizing musical numbers and romantic hijinks over plot coherence.
Army officer Josh Morgan returns to the Smoky Mountains and tries to convince his kinfolk to allow a missile site to be built on their land. Once he arrives, he discovers he has a lookalike cousin.
