Singer and movie star Johnny Tyronne (Elvis Presley) is promoting his newest film in the Middle East when he is kidnapped by a bumbling group of would-be assassins.

MGM provides lush sets, bosomy gals, colorful costumes, and Elvis, which is probably all it needs to get the throng of Elvis fans into the theaters.

Audience Reviews for Harum Scarum

Jan 21, 2010

Dumb junk is a perfect illustration of why Elvis' movie career ended up being a joke. While any movie with him singing has some value and Mary Ann Mobley was an incredibly beautiful woman the songs in this are inane, the direction lackluster and most if not all the acting amateurish. Elvis' charm is in full view but even it can not save a turkey like this.
