Blue Hawaii - Elvis Presley [DVD] [1961]

Great

very good and one naughty girl got what she needed

Quick delivery, great price, good for our evening of nostagia,

Wife is an forever Elvis fan. Me not, but its me that puts music to the player in our house so thought one day I should surprise her. Choosed this since it got nice reviews and nice priced. She liked it and so did I! She gives 5 stars to everything from him so its best I write from here. What i liked most was the scenery and the nice music from the time he really could sing. Simple and predictable plot, amusing and enough tension to keep us looking also between the music tracks. The amount of acting and playing I estimate to 60/40%, which I felt was perfect. Maybe my wife is fan of Elvis, but I was more interrested in his girlfriend in this movie?. Audio was very good. Picture was mostly very good for an old production as this. Recommended!

All good

Brilliant

Watching this film with it's beautiful vivid colour location shots and it's catchy songs it is difficult to see what some critics have to complain about. Hawaii was an out of this world luxurious and beautiful holiday destination to 99% of us in the sixties and well out of our reach. Seeing it here in big screen rich colour lifted the spirits of 1960's kids.Elvis acting is spot on and Angela Lansbury is hillarious as his 'southern' mother.Regarding Elvis acting , young Mr.Presley had a natural eye and gift for making a script come alive = he was a competent and talented actor. It is so unfair that The Beatles films are regarded more highly, none of the Beatles could or can act their way out of a paper bag.The Beatles three attempts at acting start with 'Wax museum -pasty faced lumps- atrocious' ( Hard Days Night).And conclude with cringemaking ,unbelievably bad ultra-cheap home movie camera, absolute garbage(Magical Mystery Tour) I say this as a fan of both Elvis and the Beatles( I have their dozen albums from 'Please,Please Me 'to 'Let It Be')And when did any musical have an intellectual script - does this mean that South Pacific and Carousel are equal to Ibsen or Checkov. Of course not! Musicals are for pure enjoyment and that is what Elvis delivers!

This is another one of Elvis collection with plenty of singing and beautiful women. Like most of these if you love his songs than this one should be added to the collection. Some stories are different but the same overall with all of them. Music lovers and Elvis fans, this is a love fun and delightful movie to watch. I rated this an A grade for the songs and concept of the story to which a bit of comedy thrown in as well. This one he is returning home from tour of duty and makes his girlfriend jealous at the airport by kissing a stewardess as he leaves the plane. Now that is the beginning there is still the rest of the movie, so go for a drive and choose your show and don't forget the munchies on the way back, sit relax put your feet up to a masterpiece of entertainment from a musical classic. Enjoy!

Elvis at his best. Frolicking with friends, girls and the sea in beautiful Hawaii. Some of his best songs, especially "Can't Help Falling In Love", "Ito Eats", "Slicing Sand", and the unforgettable theme song "Blue Hawaii". Of course, Elvis had many memorable songs in many movies, however, I'm a bit biased. This one is my all-time favourite with the ultra-romantic finale.

Jeder der Elvisblut in sich hat,sollte sich diesen Film gönnen.Meiner Meinung nach mit einer der besten überhaupt.Neben den tollen Elvissongs wie No more und cant help falling in love gibt es auch ein super Hawaiijanisches Urlaubsfieling.Angela Lansbury als Mutter von Elvis gibt hier eine super Paraderolle ab.Die DVD unbedingt zulegen,und das alles im guten altenTechnicolor und Widescreen.Romantic pur und gelacht darf auch werden.

The Blue Hawaii DVD starring Elvis Presley was good movie. For a movie back then, it was enjoyable and fun. The color is great in this movie. The full theatrical 2:35:1 Panavision frame is presented in a very nice anamorphic transfer. The print is fabulous for a picture of this age. There are occasional blemishes of a speck or two on the screen. Once in a while the picture to the left and the right isn't as clear as the center, but it was still very good overall. Digitally it was very good with no squares or compression issues with the transfer to DVD. It's great to see that the film preserves the background, landscape, scenery and colors well over time. The sound has been re-mastered for Dolby Digital 5.1. The 5.1 mix sounds pretty good with vocals from Elvis in the center channel and the instruments coming up on the satellites. The rear channels don't really get used at all, it's mostly the front 3 speakers and the sub. It is a very crisp, clean, deep stereo Elvis you get. The original mono is also included which sounds terrible when compared to the 5.1 sounds. The film is an old movie, and it is hard to compare to movies of today. But for back then, it was a big deal Elvis in a movie. I recommend this DVD. It was transferred very well. Picture and sound is good enough or very good, and it was an enjoyable movie pretty much. It is nice that it is in stereo rather than mono like on the LaserDisc version.

Una de las más famosas y mejores películas de Elvis con una gran calidad tanto en fotografía como musical. Rodada completamente en Hawai con sus paisajes y su colorido. Buenos actores secundarios.

Nice
