Facts about

There's a nude scene, where Ina Balin leaves the bath-tub, as Elvis's character appears in her room. This scene is rarely seen, and is generally not in the edits of the film that have been televised or on video/DVD.
The film's title, "Charro", which refers to the nickname of Elvis's character Jess Wade, loosely translates from Spanish to English as "singer". Specifically, "Charro" refers to the lead singer of a mariachi band. Although it's a fitting name for an actor known as a singer, Elvis ironically does no singing in the movie.
Promotions for this film included twenty-five Southwestern cities which held "Charro Girl" contests, with finalists appearing in Dallas and Austin. In Austin, "Charro! Day" was hosted by the then Governor Preston Smith. Likewise, the governors of Oklahoma and Louisiana declared "Charro! Day" in honor of previews in their states. A number of actors from the film traveled to appearances at these sneak previews.
