Elvis plays both cousins... he's in the army again, and the army wants to use the land owned by his country relatives. So the army asks josh to talk to his relatives. Some other big names in here. Art o'connell was twice oscar nominated, and jack albertson won for roses. Glenda farrell was HUGE in the 1930s and 1940s. In the story, the country folk are old fashioned and stubborn, and don't want any outsiders on their land, so josh and the army have a lot of work ahead of them. The songs in this one are pretty boring, and according to the soundtracks link, they cut another three that must have been even worse! This starts with a good story line, but it just kind of stumbles along. Elvis made this about halfway through his movie career. Directed by gene nelson, the first of two films he made with elvis. It's okay. It has a fun premise, but the song and dance numbers are just a big yawn.
