Tickle Me (1965)

Needing a job until the rodeo season starts, a cowboy (Elvis Presley) takes a job at an exclusive dude ranch and spa where wealthy wives, mistresses, models and actresses pay a hefty price to starve and exercise. He becomes very popular ..... real fast. Directed by Norman Taurog (GIRL CRAZY), this is your typical mid 1960s Elvis movie. Which means it has a barely there inane plot, lots of pretty girls and a barrel of tunes all sung by Elvis. All Elvis has to do is bring out his guitar and sing and all the women around him turn into go-go dancing nymphomaniacs (including Connie Gilchrist of all people)! It should be silly fun but it's just silly and it's padded out with a fantasy western segment with Elvis as a milk chugging gunfighter and a haunted hotel on a dark and stormy night sequence that goes on way too long. Curiously there are no new songs in the film, just recycled Presley album tracks. Still, Elvis fans lapped it up and the film was a hit (and saved Allied Artists from bankruptcy). With Jocelyn Lane as the love interest, Julie Adams, Merry Anders, Allison Hayes, Barbara Werle, Jack Mullaney, Bill Williams and Edward Faulkner.
