Elvis Presley's parents Vernon Presley and Gladys Presley were cast as audience members in this film. After Gladys died Elvis never watched it again, saying it hurt too much to see his mother on screen.
Elvis Presley dyed his light-brown hair into jet black to celebrate his first color film, and kept it that way for the rest of his life.
Jana Lund gives Elvis Presley his very first screen kiss.
It was director Hal Kanter's idea to use Elvis Presley's parents as extras.
The Italian title of the movie, "Amami Teneramente", literally translates as "Love Me Tender", which is the title of Elvis' first movie (known in Italy as "Fratelli Rivali" i.e. "Rival Brothers").
