Kiss Me Quick!

A washed-up rock and roll singer, desperate to win back his former girlfriend and regain his career, devises a scheme involving impersonators and elaborate musical numbers. He tries to prove his maturity and reliability to her by staging his own kidnapping, hoping she will realize how much she misses him. However, his plan quickly spirals out of control with comedic and musical complications.

Kiss Me Quick! received generally mixed to negative reviews from critics, who often found the plot flimsy and Elvis Presley's performance to be somewhat uninspired, despite his charisma. Audiences, however, were generally more forgiving, flocking to see their idol in what was considered a typical, lighthearted musical vehicle for him.

• Praised for Elvis Presley's energetic musical numbers and charismatic presence.

• Criticized for a weak, convoluted plot that offered little substance.

• Seen as a formulaic Elvis vehicle that doesn't break new ground.

Google audience: Audiences generally enjoyed the musical performances and the lighthearted, escapist nature of the film, finding Elvis Presley to be his usual charming self. Some viewers found the plot predictable and less engaging than his earlier work, but the songs and dance numbers were often highlighted as the film's strongest elements.

The film's original title was 'Swinging Country,' but it was changed to 'Kissin' Cousins' and eventually 'Kiss Me Quick!' before its release.
