It Happened at the World's Fair
Original Theatrical Date: April 2, 1963
Fun, music and Elvis all happen in this romp boasting one of the best backdrops of any Elvis Presley movie: the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, with its showpiece Space Needle, monorail and more.
The King plays pilot-for-hire Mike, whose hope of starting his own flying business is grounded by the gambling of his co-pilot Danny (Gary Lockwood). The pair hitch to Seattle, where Mike finds romance, Danny finds easy marks and both find problems prior to a Happy Ending. Kurt Russell, star of 1979's Elvis biopic, plays the uncredited child who wallops Mike in the shins.
Among the ten songs are "I'm Falling in Love Tonight," "Relax" and the gold record "One Broken Heart for Sale." If he's selling, we're buying!
