| Not the worst Elvis picture, but not near the top, either. This is the one with Elvis as a Navy frogman, diving for sunken treasure–which means lots of underwater photography (inspired by Thunderball, perhaps?). What’s fun about it is seeing Elvis collide with the summer of love: he falls in with a beatnik buddy (Pat Harrington in a goatee) and meets a commune of artsy hippie types; they stage obscure “happenings,” and Elvis calls ‘em “kooks.” It says something, though, when the musical highlight is a number called “Yoga Is as Yoga Does,” staged in Elsa Lanchester’s groovy yoga class.
