May 28, 1965 – Elvis Presley’s 18th movie, “Tickle Me” opens nationally. It stars Elvis as a champion rodeo bull rider and bronco buster. Written by Elwood Ullman and Edward Bernds, who had written The Three Stooges film shorts and theatrical films as well as scripts for The Bowery Boys, the movie featured more slapstick, sight gags, and general silliness than any other Elvis movie and single-handedly saved Allied Artists Pictures from financial collapse. #ROCkabillyHop @ElvisPresley #Elvis #theKing #RocHop #TickleMe #AlliedArtistsPictures
