Trivia
In the lawn party scene, just after Vince embraces an unresponsive Peggy, the hired orchestra begins an instrumental number. The tune they're playing is "All I Do Is Dream Of You", from the 1934 film "Sadie McKee". This same tune, with vocal accompaniment, was featured in a series of television commercials for Bell Canada during the mid-1970s.

Morgan, Eddie Fisher, Dinah Shore, Tony Martin, Lena Horne, Harry Belafonte and Hugo Winterhalter. Studio session musicians included: Bassist Bill Black, drummer D.J. Fontana, pianist Mike Stoller and guitarist Scotty Moore. Elvis performed this song three times over the course of this movie.
