Spinout Reviews

Mike McCoy (Elvis Presley) is that common animal, a successful auto racer and rock singer. Naturally, he has more women than he can handle, including a spoiled millionairess (Shelley Fabares), a Helen Gurley Brown-ish author (Diane McBain), and the drummer in his band (Deborah Walley). Between songs — which include "Spinout," "Beach Shack," "Am I Ready?" and "All That I Am" — Mike manages to outrun the gals in his cool custom race cars. Eventually, he rids himself of their pesky attentions by marrying them off to various members of the supporting cast, although a last love interest turns up in the person of his new female drummer (Dodie Marshall). This is a so-so Elvis vehicle; they all tend to blend together to the untrained eye. The big race was filmed at Dodger Stadium.
