DOL 1071HG
For the follow-up to the 1962 musical comedy Girls! Girls! Girls! Elvis is cast as a former circus performer working as a boatman in Mexico that loses his job due to the antics of his boss's daughter, which leads to new employment as a lifeguard and singer in an Acapulco hotel: Becoming the love rival of a Mexican race car driver and champion diver forces our hero to confront the fear of heights that resulted from a high-wire fall. Although music of the soundtrack to this 1963 box-office smash saw Elvis drawing on broadly latin reference points, he delivered his on-screen role outside of Mexico since he was then facing longstanding censure from negative publicity concocted by a local politician. Nevertheless, the film was hugely popular and its soundtrack another winner in diverse territories with the show-stopping "Bossa Nova Baby" reaching the Billboard top ten.
