Customer Reviews of Clambake
not a serious film . . . duh If you are a romantic at heart and don't take it too seriously (why would you? It's an Elvis movie . . .) you may love this one. Some of the songs may not be chart toppers, but the lyrics add to and help define the story. <
> <
>They say Elvis wasn't very enthusiastic about doing this one - maybe that explains why he seems more real in this one and not overdone. <
> <
>This is a story about love, believing in yourself and being true to your beliefs. I first saw it when I was a kid and took these values to heart. <
> <
>Lighten up and enjoy!
Can I give this 6 stars?
"Clambake" is by far the greatest piece of cinema seen this side of Memphis. I love Elvis! While the costumes are a tad sketchy in this film (this includes Elvis' suit that looks like a baseball and the transparent cover-up on the silver bikini girl), the songs (music *and* lyrics), are stellar. Scintillating, if you will. I wish I could find a cd-soundtrack! I have seen this film at least a dozen times. In fact, the first time I saw it, I watched it 3 days in a row, showing it to all my friends, who have since fallen in love with the cinematic genius that is "Clambake."

> Shelley Fabares turns in an Oscar-worthy performance. Katharine Hepburn stole the award that rightly belongs to Ms. Fabares.

Floridians beware
I've enjoyed some of Elvis' movies like Viva Las Vegas, Blue Hawaii, and Fun in Acapulco. I received Clambake as a gift to add to my collection, and I thought I'd like it especially because it took place in Miami, where I'm from.
Sadly, this was not a very good movie. The late-60s styles were comical, and the young days of "Christine" from "Coach" and Bill Bixby from "The Hulk" were amusing. However, the obvious closed sets, corny acting and oddball music interludes kept me asking why was this movie even produced.
The final insult to injury... Elvis and his girl drive into the Florida sunset... with mountains in the background!?? The only mountains in Miami are trash dumps so this was obviously shot in California and poorly passed off as Miami Beach.
So I give it 2 stars: one for Elvis and one for the real Florida.
