2011 TCM Classic Film Festival--Poolside at the Roosevelt and Girl Happy
on May 5, 2011 From GlamAmorWithout a doubt, one of my favorite places to be during the 2011 TCM Classic Film Festival was poolside at the Roosevelt Hotel. I'm frequently drawn to water, as is evident by the fact that I'm a surfer who lives in Santa Monica near the ocean. And so with unbelievably gorgeous weather that warmed... Read full article

Where is she? Where's Valerie? Is she all right?

Facts about
The song "The Meanest Girl in Town" was one of the only songs not composed for this movie. It had been written for Bill Haley and the Comets and recorded by then in 1964 under the title "Yeah She's Evil".
For reasons unknown, several of Elvis Presley's songs are slightly sped up, making his voice sound higher than usual. This is most noticeable on the title track. This error appears to have originated in the recording studio, as the RCA soundtrack album retains the sped up versions of the songs. A recording of "Girl Happy", mastered at the proper speed, would not be released until the 1990s. The explanation came afterwards that it was intentional and that it was supposed to give the title track an upbeat feeling that it lacked apparently in the original version. It has to be reminded that this soundtrack was recorded at the height of Beatlemania in June 1964 and that the record company tried to give some "extra-youth" to Elvis by speeding up the tape. Also, 1964 is the first year Elvis did not reach the TOP 10 with any of the six singles he released that year.
Some of the Fort Lauderdale beach crowd sequences were lifted from the movie Where the Boys Are.
