Clambake (DVD)
It's Elvis singing, dancing and romancing on land and sea in the romantic adventure Clambake. Elvis Presley (Blue Hawaii, Kid Galahad, G.I. Blues, Tickle Me) plays Scott Hayward, a young man on the run from his privileged life. Wanting to be taken seriously for who he is and not his family's wealth, Scott will find the perfect opportunity when he meets water skiing instructor Tom Wilson (Will Hutchins, Spinout, Shangani Patrol) who's just scraping by. So why not trade places and see how the other half lives? Scott's resolve will be tested when he falls in love with Dianne Carter (Shelley Fabares, Girl Happy, TV's Coach, The Donna Reed Show), a beautiful young woman set on snagging and marrying a rich man. Romance and comic hijinks are served up surfside along with a treasure trove of catchy tunes by the boatload including "You Don't Know Me," "Confidence" and the title tune. Directed by Arthur H. Nadel (Underground, TV's Shazam, The Secret of Isis), Clambake co-stars Bill Bixby (TV's The Incredible Hulk), Gary Merrill (All About Eve, Where the Sidewalk Ends), James Gregory (The Ambushers, TV's Barney Miller), Suzie Kaye (West Side Story, It's a Bikini World) and Marj Dusay (TV's All My Children, Guiding Light).
