It’s July sixteenth, and on this day in 1966… Production began on Elvis Presley’s twenty-fourth film, *Double Trouble*, at MGM Studios in Culver City. Although the movie is set in England and Belgium, all of Elvis’s scenes were filmed on sound stages using backdrops and rear projections, with one scene shot in Long Beach Harbor standing in for Antwerp’s docks. The film is known for its continuity errors, including a disappearing luggage rack in one hotel room scene. Interestingly, Elvis’s cousin Billy Smith served as the stunt double for actress Annette Day in one of the scenes. Meanwhile, in 1955, Elvis performed at the Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport, and in 1956, he toured New Orleans with his girlfriend June Juanico and his parents before they returned to Memphis.
