This is the one with Elvis as a Navy frogman, diving for sunken treasure--which means lots of underwater photography (inspired by Thunderball, perhaps?). What's fun about it is seeing Elvis collide with the summer of love: he falls in with a beatnik buddy (Pat Harrington in a goatee) and meets a commune of artsy hippie types; they stage obscure "happenings," and Elvis calls 'em "kooks." It says something, though, when the musical highlight is a number called "Yoga Is as Yoga Does," staged in Elsa Lanchester's groovy yoga class. E.P. looks indifferent to the proceedings, an understandable reaction given the painful quality of the comedy (especially the old sea salt who's never been on water). The red Dodge convertible is sweet, however. --Robert Horton Description: In "Easy Come, Easy Go" Elvis hits the high seas a Lt. (L.G.) Ted Jackson, and underwater demolitions expert who sets out with the skippers' daughter to find gold in a sunken wreck during his final service dive. Entangled in an action-packed adventure of romance and intrigue, the pair must battle adversaries on land and underwater as they attempt to claim the treasures before their plan is foiled. Featuring the songs "Love Machine" and the title tune "Easy Come, Easy Go." Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not Really An Apt TitleI remember managing to find a drive-in that was showing the first run ECEG; and I remember my girlfriend not saying a word while we watched. She was too kind. In retrospect, it was so totally wrong for the time that one almost has to respect it. I say almost. It was a numbing experience then and the most one can say for it now is: At least the Elvis impersonators will leave it alone. The story is weak, the co-stars are painful, and the soundtrack so bad, the weakest selling record of Elvis' career ...

He decides not to re-enlist and teams up with his former band member and partner Pat Harrington, the notorious maintenance man of "One Day at a Time" fame, to help him find a possible treasure in the shipwreck. However, the best character in this movie is yoga teacher Elsa Lanchester, who played the Bride of Frankenstein, co-starring with Boris Karloff. The soundtrack is excellent, ...

Rating: - THRILLING MUSICAL-ADVENTURE!The "Yoga is as Yoga Does" production number remains one of the most memorable moments in cinema. Amazing underwater photography still stuns audiences today. Truly a great film. Rating: - What a formula. Goes to show you, only times changed."Easy Come, Easy Go" is a likeable in some sense. Elvis is a Navy frogman who's on a search for buried treasure hidden in a sunken ship under the sea. He finds it's linked to Dodie Marshall and with her help he tries to find it. But, there are some unwelcome searchers looking for it too. One of them being the enticing Pat Preist of "Munsters" fame. When the treasure is found, it's all in copper. But, they're able to get some money out of it. A good thousand or so dollars. Elvis' characters were never money ... Read More |
