Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

First in a series of nine bland Presley vehicles directed by Taurog, and the film which engendered a career formula of tepid, routine comedy-musicals. Just out of the army himself, a subdued Elvis plays a guitar-strumming GI in West Germany, romances the forbidding Prowse, serenades unpardonably cute children, has the occasional fist fight, and sleepwalks to the set of his next film.
