November 22, 1961 – Elvis Presley’s film “Blue Hawaii” opens nationally to warm reviews. The film hit #18 on the box office charts in 1961 and #14 in 1962. It earns recognition as one of the Best Elvis movies and is the top-grossing film of his career thus far. Its characteristics of a non-cerebral plot, lavish scenery, lots of songs by Elvis, and lots of pretty girls become the basis for the “Presley formula” movies of the sixties. #ROCkabillyHop @ElvisPresley #Elvis #TCB #theKing #BlueHawaii #RocHop #OTD #RockNRoll
