Trailer

Elvis said about “Double Trouble”…”I wasn’t exactly a James Bond in this movie but then, no one ever asked Sean Connery to sing a song while dodging bullets.”  

Synopsis; Guy Lambert (Elvis) is having a ball playing the club scene in Europe. When he isn’t working, he’s playing hard, choosing between two very beautiful but very different women, sophisticated Claire and sheltered but eager Jill. Jill’s guardian, Uncle Gerald, decides to keep her out of Guy’s way by sending her away to school in Belgium. What he doesn’t know is that Guy’s band has a gig in Brussels and is heading there as well. While crossing the Channel, Jill moves from deck to deck looking for guy. She finds Guy, but also some strange passengers. Suddenly, a streamer trunk falls and barely missed Jill, and Guy almost drowns, They get the message that someone is after them. From the moment they get off the boat, they’re hounded, harassed and folowed. Guy saves Jill’s live and at the end of the movie we see them floating on a raft in the English Channel.
