That's some SERIOUS double entendre for 1962! I was stunned that that line (said by Elvis outside the club after Laurel asks him if he was inside "fishing") made it into the film, but I'm grateful for it. Priceless joke. There's another bit of smutty innuendo later in the film as well, but I can't recall it at the moment. Classic Elvis picture, by the way.
shareYesterday I watched the movie for the first time, and I was surprised that for a 1962 movie--and an Elvis movie at that (rightly or wrongly, I have always associated his movies with "family entertainment")--it was a filled with as much double entendre and sexual innuendo (much of it "single entendre" as it was). From the opening scene, with the married woman making a remark that Elvis will "earn" his sailboat, to the closing scene (with the "living in sin" joke), it was pretty bawdy. Even though nothing even remotely explicit was show, it was clear that the Elvis and Goodwin characters had been having sex. And I was really shocked when Lauren was on the phone getting money from her rich dad, and the dad seems to be worrying she needs it for an abortion.
The movie is now rated "PG" for "Mild Thematic Material," but it's onl;y "mild" by today's standards.
