It used to be an annual tradition in my household to watch The Trouble With Girls every year on the fourth of July. It’s not exactly a holiday movie, although the film does feature a crate of illicit fireworks. Other amazing things this movie features: unionizing, the little girl who played Cindy Brady, a swimmer extolling the virtues of goose fat, college boys whose varsity sweaters make them look like henchmen from the original Batman series, Vincent Price as someone named Mr. Morality, a lady with a flower in her hat, a song about the zodiac, a few nods to the French New Wave, a murder… Oh, and Elvis Presley as the leader of a traveling Chautauqua circa 1927.
