Kissin' Cousins

I'm watching the Elvis Presley movie "Kissin' Cousins." I'm actually about to the end of it.

It's a good one certainly for all the female beauty throughout, with the wild Kittyhawks who inhabit them thar hills. Plus Elvis' closer kinfolk, the two girls of Ma and Pappy.

The story is fairly cute, with Elvis sort of in charge of helping get Pappy's mountain, at least to rent it, to put some missiles on it for national security. He has all kinds of stubbornness in Pappy.

Elvis plays a double part too, being his normal looking self, then also his cousin with a blond wig. He appears as both characters (from the front) in a couple of scenes. Most of the time it's Elvis and a stand-in from the back. I read in a book that the stand-in was Lance LeGault. In my opinion they should've got someone who looked like Elvis from the back, since you can tell clearly this guy has a different shaped head. No offense to Lance, but he's not even close!

I was just listening to a couple tracks from the soundtrack CD. I don't care for the slightly duncier voice they have the cousin Elvis singing with on the final number, "Kissin' Cousins." It doesn't seem like he had a duncier voice when he was singing earlier on in the movie. But they obviously wanted some way to distinguish Elvis normal from Elvis cousin.

The sisters are very hot, if you ignore the fact that they're hillbillies.
