  • Typical Elvis movie

    While this is the typical Elvis fare (boy meets girl, boy sings to girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy and girl have happy ending), it still has its moments that make it fun. With Gary Lockwood (who went on to play Frank Poole in 2001: A Space Odyssey) as Presley's piloting partner (and gambler who gets caught up with a gang of ruffians when they demand he pay his debts) and Joan O'Brien as a nurse who becomes Presley's love interest, the story revolves around a young Oriental girl (delightfully played by 8-year-old Vicki Liu) who's been left in their care while her uncle goes off in search of work. But the real star of the film is the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle (where many exterior scenes were shot, much to the delight of fans who often swarmed Presley's car when it arrived each day). And then there are the 10 songs he sings during the film, including the very appropriately-named Happy Ending at (where else?) the end of the film, complete with marching band. And one surprise cameo was a young Kurt Russell (then 12 years old) who played a kid at the fair who encounters Presley and asks for quarters so he can go on the rides. Presley says he'll give the kid 50 cents if he kicks Presley in the shin (so he can have nurse Joan O'Brien patch him up--and thus start the romantic aspects of the film). Russell actually kicked Elvis and later said he didn't mean to kick him so hard! All in all, a good flick, mostly for fun and for a time period when men wore suits to such events and women wore high heels and dresses.

  • Elvis Is Elvis

    This is one of the good Elvis movies. Elvis made 31 movies in his career and "It Happened at the Worlds Fair" is entertaining and filmed at an interesting location. Good songs, a pretty love interest and adventure. Check it out.

  • Great movie

    As long as Elvis stars, the movie is usually good! And he does not disappoint in this one. His singing is excellent, as usual. And the care he takes of a little girl is engaging.

  • Great movie even if you’re not a true Elvis fan.

    Not a crazy Elvis fan, but this movie is really good. The little girl is adorable, and if you watch it, even if you’re a grandmother, I really think you’ll enjoy it.

  • Great movie for family night together I think better for children than a violent movie that we see so much of these days. Let children see how things

    Great movie

  • It happened at worlds fair

    If you love Elvis this is a big hit for you. Filmed in 1962 at the Worlds Fair. Entertaining movie and of course Elvis doing what he does best ... singing, and being himself. Grab this Dvd while you can. I never knew it existed till I ran across it. It’s great !!

  • It Happened at the Worlds Fair

    It Happened at the Worlds Fair is a very hard to find Elvis Presley movie. It is very cute and funny. It shows Elvis at the Seatte World Fair in 1963.. Shows a early KIrk Russell. A very good Elvis movie 5 Star
