No lineups and everything is free


I love how in the fairgrounds of the Worlds Fair,(for 1962) You can just walk up to a food vendor and there is no one in line in front of you, whether it's the Popcorn wagon,, or a .99 cent seven course Chinese food platter.. Plus the Nurse's station or 1st Aid room has no one in the waiting Room.. and all the medication and treatment requires no name/ID or address or insurance numbers.. LOL

Good point.I was wondering about that too. Also, the sun is always shining; which, in Seattle, is unusual; to say the least!

and apparently no one has a probelm with a random man you met that same day taking your 7 year old niece for a day by them selves

Oh, please stop!! That was not part of the movie!! That was no "random man" who was taking the 7 year old niece; that was Elvis Presley! The King! I (respectfully) submit that you do "not get it". The "it" being the purpose of this movie.

The movie was not set up to show a story about two bush pilots going to the World's Fair. It was set up to show "Elvis"; the King!! Oh, his character had a name of "Mike Edwards" but he could have been referred throughout the movie as "Elvis Presley" and I doubt if anybody (other than some die hard movie critic perhaps) would have cared! Every viewer of that movie knew that 7 year old girl was not being given to a "random man"- she was being given to the KING!! Nobody had any problem with that; nor should they have had one.

Same principle applies to movies by John Wayne, James Stewart, Clark Gable, Katherine Hepburn, and currently by George Clooney. The characters they played all had names but nobody remembers those names in most cases(except maybe for Davey Crockett or Rhett Butler or Rooster Cogburn). Everybody knows that these people did not (or do not in the case of Clooney) actually act- they simply portrayed themselves on a movie set. And it worked great!!! Same here, with the King himself!!!

This type of movie was a great advertisement for tourism. I'm sure people wanted to go to Vegas or Hawaii after seeing an Elvis "travelogue." :)

I would allow early-'60s Elvis and Gary Lockwood to take care of my kid any time.

Because all of that would have been boring. It is the same thing with police and medical procedures on TV and in movies. No one waits, or is seen filling out massive paperwork because it would take up too much time. If you want a movie or show to move at a reasonable pace, some liberties have to be taken.
