More to come on the Elvis / Sam Katzman collaborations, but here's a sample of producer Katzman's notorious frugality.
In "Kissin' Cousins" Elvis played Lieutenant Josh Morgan AND his country cousin Jody (in his fey Charles Nelson Reilly-inspired look from the film, below right).
In order to make the effect believable, doubles had to be used. But in the musical finale, they weren't trying very hard. Notice "Jody" in the red circle. Christ, they didn't even try to match hairstyles! (Click to enlarge photo).
