Background
Despite being set in London and Europe, Elvis filmed it entirely in Hollywood.
Co star Norman Rossington holds a unique place in music/ film history as being the only actor to have appeared with Elvis and The Beatles (A Hard Day's Night).
Priscilla Presley later claimed that when Elvis was told he had to sing Old MacDonald he screamed, "It's come to this?"[citation needed] He was eased when told that the song would not be released on the soundtrack album. Hwever, it was released on the accompanying soundtrack.
Double Trouble, his twenty-fourth film, was released on April 5, a mere thirteen days after his twenty-third, Easy Come, Easy Go.
