Elvis Presley’s Blue Hawaii isn’t just a feast for the eyes with its stunning Hawaiian backdrop and swoon-worthy soundtrack — it’s also a treasure trove of delightful mistakes that make us love the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll even more.

While Elvis charmed his way through the 1961 musical with his undeniable charisma, a few slip-ups managed to sneak past the editors.

No one — not in their wildest dreams — could ever rival Elvis Presley when it came to music, performances, or those iconic good looks.

The debate about his best movie will probably rage on forever, but when experts rank Elvis’s films, Blue Hawaii rarely cracks the top three. Still, there’s something undeniably special about this fan-favorite.

While filming Blue Hawaii in 1961, Elvis Presley developed quite the connection with his co-star, Joan Blackman. In fact, their chemistry was so strong that Joan admitted to feeling a special spark between them when they first met in 1957.

”When we first set eyes on each other, there was a spark, a magic in the air… There was just that special something between us, sometimes so warm and wonderful you could almost reach out and touch it,” Joan shared in a 1977 interview with Midnight Globe.

Despite their undeniable connection, Elvis wasn’t shy about wanting Joan as his wife, even begging her to appear in more of his films.

However, Joan had other plans: “I wanted parts because of my ability, not because I was dating Elvis,” she stated.
