Walter Matthau
I saw a poster for this in Pizzeria Uno of all places and saw that Walter Matthau was in it. I haven't actually seen it, so I decided I should put this in the message board section rather than the comments section. I had no idea that Matthau was in a movie with Elvis! I was a diehard Matthau fan and read his obituaries religiously, and I don't remember any mention of him being in a movie with Elvis. I'm sure he got a kick out of telling his friends, family, and neighbors that he was in a movie with Elvis Presley. He wasn't the only one, of course, but I can imagine that Mr. Curmudgeon himself would have been more amused that he was cast in an Elvis movie than other actors might have been. It seems like such an odd pairing, like putting Britney Spears in a movie with Dustin Hoffman or something. But it certainly aroused my curiosity. Maybe I will be able to find it somewhere. I had heard of it before, knew Elvis was in it, just didn't know Matthau was in it or anything about it.
