Easy Come, Easy Go - 2 - 3
A look at the movie "Easy Come, Easy Go" - Part 2 of 3:
Principal photography began for Elvis's twenty-third film "Easy
Come, Easy Go" on October 3, 1966. The production began location
shooting on October 10th at such sites as the Long Beach Naval
Station, the Santa Monica pier and harbor and at a home in the
Hollywood hills. The Navy ship used in the opening scenes was the
U.S.S. Gallant, a mine sweeper.
Dodie Marshall played Elvis's love interest Jo Symington. You might
remember her brief appearance at the end of the Elvis movie
"Spinout" when she becomes the band's new drummer. She retired in
the late 1960s. Watch for a continuity blooper with Marshall in
"Easy Come, Easy Go" - a scene in which she gets into Elvis's car
wearing an orange blouse and then gets out wearing a white top and
striped jacket.
Pat Priest played the lovely villainous Dina Bishop. This Utah
native, the daughter of Ivy Baker Priest who served as United States
Treasurer (1953-1961) and California State Treasurer (1966-1974),
won beauty titles while living in Washington, DC. She then became a
model and actress in California, winning her most famous role as
Marilyn Munster, the beautiful "normal looking" member of an eerie
family on the television series "The Munsters." She retired from
acting and lives in Idaho.
Pat Harrington, Jr. played nightclub owner Judd, a buddy of Ted
Jackson (Elvis). Among the better known roles in Mr. Harrington's is
providing the voice for Inspector Sergeant Deux-Deux in the animated
"Pink Panther" series. Surely, he is best known for his Emmy Award
winning and Golden Globe winning portrayal of Dwayne F. Schneider on
the hit TV series "One Day At A Time."
Frank McHugh played Captain Jack and this was the last film of his
very long career as a character actor. His parents had been
performers and Mr. McHugh was a child actor, first appearing in
vaudeville and then on Broadway. Ironically, his movie career
included a role in the 1947 movie "Easy Come, Easy Go," which had a
totally different plot line about gambling and horse racing. |
