Blue Hawaii

In a return to musical comedy after several dramatic roles, Elvis Presley stars in this vehicle tailored to his singing talents. Chad Gates (Presley) returns home to Honolulu after a stint in the service. He shows little interest in working for his overbearing parents' pineapple plantation, much to their dismay. Instead, Chad finds a job as a tour guide and thereby gives himself a chance to dance with, and sing to, a variety of Hawaii's most beautiful women. The film includes musical numbers such as "Blue Hawaii," "Rock-A-Hula Baby," "Hawaiian Wedding Song" and "Island of Love," as well as the immortal "Can't Help Falling in Love."

Locals in Kauai, Hawaii were handed a treat when the cast and crew of Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides filmed at the fabled Coco Palms Hotel - harvested coconuts were given away. Producers couldn't risk any of the 773 palms dropping their fruit on the heads of stars like Johnny Depp and pregnant Penelope Cruz, so they made sure there were no nuts hanging high above cast and crew - and, to make sure the coconuts didn't go to waste, they were given to locals. The location was extra... Read more
