THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.

March is all MUSICALS!

In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's death on April 29, 1980, April is dedicated to Hitch, and all my favorites.

It Happened at the World's Fair, 1963


Director: Norman Taurog
Stars: Elvis Presley, Joan O'Brien, Vicky Tiu










Mike (Elvis) goes to the World's Fair in Seattle! He hitches a ride there with a man and his niece, Sue-Lin (Vicky Tiu). When Sue-Lin's uncle has to go meet someone, Mike volunteers taking care of Sue-Lin, whose upset tummy eventually leads Mike to meet one of the nurses working in the First Aid building at the Fair- Diane (Joan O'Brien).

He begins to fall in love, but life isn't all that great, when Mike's friend Danny is hiding something from him, and it could get dicey!

NOTE: At one point, Mike wants to see Diane and needs an excuse because she doesn't want to see him. So he pays a kid to kick him in the shins. The kid- you can't miss it- is a very young Kurt Russell! Awesome!
