50th Anniversary Movie Pictorials: Blue Hawaii - 1961


Blue Hawaii was released fifty years ago in November 1961.  It was Elvis? seventh film and was his most commercially successful movie, in spite of a rather skimpy plot.  There is lots of great scenery, and 26-year-old Elvis looked in top form in his skin-tight swim trunks. Plus, there?s no shortage of skimpily-clad young ladies cavorting on the beach.
