Synopsis
You can’t help falling in love with Elvis Presley, especially in this classic 1961 musical, the fourth of nine films Elvis made with Paramount Pictures. The legendary Presley stars as Chadwick “Chad” Gates, an ex-G.I. coming home to Hawaii. Though his mother (Angela Lansbury) expects him to take over the family business, Chad would rather wear an aloha shirt than a white collar. When he goes to work as a tour guide at his girlfriend’s agency, it isn’t long before a group of amorous gals are fighting for his attention. The first of three movies starring Elvis shot in Hawaii, the film’s Grammy-nominated album (featuring the hit "Can't Help Falling In Love") totaled 20 weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200. BLUE HAWAII joins the Paramount Presents collection in a limited-edition release, featuring a stunning 4K UHD restoration, special bonus features and collectable packaging.
