Viva Pod Vegas #027 – Double Trouble (1967)
We get duped again as Viva Pod Vegas seemingly promises two Elvises (Elvii?) with Double Trouble, but we only get one! We talk about how this movie tries to take on the British Invasion with a movie set entirely in Europe, but, you know… Colonel Tom… We talk about Elvis Presley in a Julie Christie role, a nice change of pace for Elvis movies (in terms of filmmaking), and the story behind Elvis’s co-star’s only film role. We (somewhat) explore the year at the box office, discuss Elvis’s breaking point when recording the music for this movie, and wonder why Elvis tells no one about getting punched in the face. We admire the slapstick, break down the wildest version of Old Macdonald we’ve ever heard, and love one of the wildest turns in an Elvis movie so far. Elvis jumps through a window! We look ahead to Clambake.
