Trivia
Shelley Fabares is the only woman who was Elvis Presley's love interest in three different films.

Goofs
When Elvis is on the beach playing the intro to "Do the Clam," the sound is clearly from an electric guitar, but when Elvis is shown playing the guitar, it's a regular acoustic guitar, which sounds nothing like an electric.

Quotes
Andy: In the next life, I'd like to come back as a beach towel.

Alternate versions
The "Startin' Tonight" number is cut in the 1997 VHS.

one of the best.

To me GIRL HAPPY was one of the best Elvis films ever, great acting, great music, great fun to watch. This is a film that no Elvis fan should miss. Go to your local video shop and rent this film if you haven't already seen it, its good stuff.
