Best movie ever!

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Elvis Presley portrays Greg Nolan a womanizing photographer who runs into a woman on the beach and then crazy things begin to happen. She claims her name is Alice but in the movie she has three other different names so it does get confusing but by the end of the movie her actual name is said. She has different names for different moods. She puts him to sleep and he sleeps for several days losing both his job and apartment. She is crazy but funny. It is a beautiful and funny love story of Greg and "Alice". It has a combination of physical and verbal comedy which has-made Live a Little Love a little a fantastic movie. Elvis Presley adds a number of songs in this move including A little Less conversation, Wonderful World, Edge of reality, and Almost In love. This is defiantly a must see film. It keeps you on the edge of your seat anticipating what will happen next.

Live a Little, Love a Little (1968) ** 1/2 (out of 4) A somewhat strange little film that features Elvis playing a photographer who meets a strange woman (Michele Carey) and soon has her becoming obsessed with him even though she keeps changing her own name. After costing him his job and apartment, she gets him a new apartment but it's so high he is forced to work two jobs, in the same building, while trying not to let the boss guys know. This is certainly a departure from some of the other films Elvis was doing around this time. For starters, this is certainly a more adult type film with a lot of sexual innuendo and even one psychedelic scene, which is something we didn't see in earlier pictures. The best performance of the film comes from the girl's Great Dane who steals the film each time he shows up. His early scenes with Elvis on the beach actually get a good performance out of the singer and manages to be very funny. The early scenes between Elvis and Carey are also very funny and there are a few more laughs throughout. Elvis is decent here but again, I wouldn't say he gives a good performance. Carey is the real star though as she makes her character really stand out and memorable. The music also is a lot different than we'd heard before but it works.

LIVE A LITTLE, LOVE A LITTLE is one of Elvis' weirdest movies. Part slapstick, part fluff, part surreal and part strange. Elvis meets up with a very off-beat girl with an annoying voice. She looks like Jennifer Aniston. Story doesn't make much sense as is the case with most Elvis Presley movies, and there a bunch of odd characters galore. Not much music in this one, but what there is I liked, although none are memorable. Strange continuity. Elvis and Michelle Carey go into her beach house at night, but a few minutes later a delivery boy comes in and it's stark daylight!! What?? That's about the essence of the movie. What?? Oh, two good things about the movie: A) Elvis looks great and B) the dog steals the show.

What a shame that at a time when it appeared that Elvis was finally getting some mature comedy roles it was nearing the end of his film career. Maybe if the brains ?? behind Elvis had been more selective in choosing his movie roles, he may have been still with us and may have been credited for being a far better actor than people gave him credit for. To have him act alongside the Elvis of the twenties in Rudy Vallee was a great piece of casting. The only other great piece of casting would have been to have him act alongside the great John Wayne, which I believe they offered him the part in True Grit played by Glen Campbell. What a sad waste of talent, another screw up by Hollywood suits who have no idea on talent just getting their greedy hands on as much money as they can.
