Double Trouble is a 1967 American musical film starring Elvis Presley. The comedic plot concerns an American singer who crosses paths with criminals in Europe. The movie was #58 on the year-end list of the top-grossing films of 1967. It was Presley's twenty-fourth movie, but was actually filmed before his twenty-third film, Easy Come, Easy Go, which was released earlier in the year on March 22, 1967.

Background

It was the first film produced by Irwin Winkler, a manager who had impressed Robert O'Brien, head of MGM, during the making of Doctor Zhivago (1965). O'Brien suggested Winkler produce a movie for MGM, and Russell Thatcher, head of the studio's story department, offered the script for Double Trouble, thinking it would make an ideal vehicle for Julie Christie, who had been in Doctor Zhivago.

Winkler later wrote that his first "foray into Hollywood" was "with a famous male rock singer playing a dramatic role that had been written for a woman, a controlling, hostile manager, a story that took place in Europe and would be shot in Culver City, California, and a very nice director who could hardly walk up the stairs to meet me and who'd told me he was going blind." Judd Bernard, the other producer, does not mention that the role of Elvis…

Elvis was paid $750,000 plus 40% of the profits.

Renowned character actor Michael Murphy made his big-screen, feature-film debut playing the character Morley.
