Amazon.com:
Elvis tried something different in his final narrative movie… but the results are oddly similar to his usual '60s formula. Here the King plays a doctor working in an inner-city free clinic, playing host to three Catholic nurses (who are really nuns incognito). Elvis gets hung up on one of the nuns, played by Mary Tyler Moore; she seems a lot closer to The Dick Van Dyke Show than the Vatican. The songs are sparse--'Rubberneckin'' gets a workout in one of those awful stilted hootenannies so prevalent in Elvis pictures. The flower-power ambience is more interesting than the story; the film features Mod Squad-style attempts at racial politics, a sit-down protest, and a weird sequence involving 'rage reduction' to cure an autistic child. Elvis has good scenes and indifferent ones, but he looks fantastic (this is just after the great 'comeback'), and he dresses like no other doctor before or since. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - Elvis movie
This a pretty good movie not my favorite but got it to complete my collection!!!!!
Rating: - Anything Elvis did is great
This is another great film classic starring Elvis Presley.It has more drama than his other movies, closer to the modern problems we face today than most of his movies, but truly a good movie.Family feature.
Rating: - Slight Change of Pace for the King.
This movie came at the end of Elvis' fim contract and as a result suffered from the public's boredom with his previous formulaic musicals. I am a fan and I liked all his films and love movies like 'Follow that Dream', 'Girl Happy', 'Kid Galahad' and others but eventually the general public became fed up. This is unfortunate as had this movie been made near the start of his film career (say after'Blue Hawaii') I think it would have become one of his fans most liked films. The story has a slight edge ... Read More
Rating:  - Cinema's True Odd Couple - Elvis and Mary - in a Most Contrived Social Drama
Rarely has there been as odd a coupling in the history of cinema as the one on exhibit here - Elvis Presley and Mary Tyler Moore - two more polar opposite personas could not have shared the screen in 1969 when this movie was released. In what turned out to be his last dramatic role, Presley looks fit as he was then riding the momentum from his legendary '68 Comeback Special, while Moore - looking very Mary Richards-like, at least in Season One - was floundering in cheap Universal movies (like this one) ...

Rating: - The King and Laura Petrie?Don'twasteyour time.!
Whoever came up with this lame contrivance and thought it would be good?
Enter Elvis as inner-city free-clinic MD takin' care of business, gettin' All Shook Up over coy nurse-by-day, bride of Christ by night Mary Tyler Moore. The sexual tension is palpable, but goes nowhere.It's Kind of a Drag.
There aren't even any good songs in this Hound Dog of a movie.
Now I know where "Oh Robbbb!" got it's start.
