From Chris: A lightweight, popular Elvis musical which was his biggest box  office hit at the time. Romantic comedy with Elvis at the peak of his  fame and popularity. Features my all-time favorite Elvis song, Can't  Help Falling In Love. The companion soundtrack album is one of the more  popular movie albums by Elvis.

The movie's  success pigeonholed Elvis into this kind of fluffy musical instead of  serious drama for the rest of his career, largely thanks to Colonel Tom  Parker realizing Elvis could make more money with these movies doubling  as advertising for movie albums. Many music fans despise Parker for  allowing Elvis to waste his time making paltry movie albums for most of  the 1960s.

The Technicolor film looks  vibrant here with an often gorgeous Dolby Vision grading highlighting  the bright Hawaiian outfits and beautiful scenery. Maybe a tick of  ringing in early reels but the grain has been left unfiltered. Not the  absolute best work I've seen from Paramount (that's My Fair Lady) but it  is a huge upgrade over prior DVDs, making both its Blu-ray and UHD  debut here.
