Clambake: Elvis Presley Sings His Way Through Sunny Miami

A wealthy young man trades places with a poor water-ski instructor to find out if love can be real, all against a backdrop of Miami sunshine. Clambake, the cheerful 1967 musical comedy, sends Elvis Presley to the Florida coast for a breezy tale of romance and racing.

Elvis plays Scott Heyward, the heir to an oil fortune who swaps identities with a friendly ski instructor at a glamorous Miami Beach hotel. Along the way he falls for a charming guest, takes on a cocky speedboat champion, and of course finds plenty of excuses to break into song.

The film is pure lighthearted fun, filled with Florida’s beaches, boats, and resort glamour at the height of the 1960s. Elvis performs a string of upbeat tunes, and the speedboat race finale delivers a splashy, feel-good climax.

Sunny, tuneful, and good-natured, Clambake is an easygoing escape to vintage Miami Beach. Look for Clambake and enjoy the show.
