  • Breakaway Pop Hit: "A Little Less Conversation" was released as a single alongside the film in 1968, but didn't do much business at the time, only peaking at #69 in Billboard. He'd recorded a separate version for possible use in the Elvis (NBC TV Special), but it was never used. Then in 2002, Junkie XL did a remix of the TV special version that became a big worldwide hit, was used as the theme for the NBC series Las Vegas, and made the song possibly the best-known Elvis song among younger generations.
  • Completely Different Title:
    • In Denmark, the title is Elvis lever livet ("Elvis Lives the Life").
    • In Finland, Tytöstä tyttöön ("Girl to Girl").
    • In France, Le grand frisson ("The Big Thrill").
    • In Japan, Buggy Banzai! ("Hurray for the Buggy!", referring to Elvis' car in the movie.)
    • In Poland, Tylko ją kochaj ("Just Love Her").
    • In West Germany, Liebling, laß das Lügen ("Honey, Stop Lying").
  • Playing Against Type: Don Porter, who specialized in playing fatherly authority figures (most famously as the father of Sally Field on the sitcom Gidget), as the Hefner-esque Mike Lansdown.
  • Working Title: Kiss My Firm But Pliant Lips (the title of the Dan Greenburg novel it was adapted from).
