I'm hard-pressed to remember a film worse than Change of Habit, a movie which features the following:

- Elvis Presley (in his final movie role) as a singing doctor in a free urban clinic - Mary Tyler Moore as a nun and nurse - A plot which features said nurse and her friends "going undercover" in said doctor's clinic, and - The inevitable romance between Elvis and Mary.

This movie is so bad it is unwatchable. The songs are atrocious (you won't recognize a single one), the acting is pathetic -- even Moore can't save this project from devolving into utter sap and crap.

A desperate attempt to cash in on the brief and strange resurgence in all things Elvis, Change of Habit is unfortunately a lowlight in The King's career. Now, it's also a lowlight in my video library.

Groan.

As in, dropped like a bad one...

A bit over the top saying that Change of Habit is such a bad film. It isn't. It was one of the last 4 movies Elvis made that try to change and improve his image. Though ignored at the time, partly due to his '68 special and hit singles,it contained elements and situations never featured in an Elvis film before. Elvis looked good, nicely slimmed down and did his best with this part. Best known song is 'Rubberneckin', just recently remixed too. Judging any movie has to be put in it's time perspective and in this case 1969.If we want to talk about BAD Elvis movies, think of Harem Scarum, Double Trouble,Easy Come Easy Go.
