I've seen Girls, Girls, Girls more times than I care to remember! I'm watching it now, and I've just noticed someone that looks so much like Parker standing there in the background! We all know Hal B. Wallis' production team showcased Blue Hawaii posters, but I'm willing to bet five dollars that the guy in this scene was Parker

Maybe. It kind of looks like him. But . . .
The reason I think it might not be Parker is that he would never do the cameo for free. And if he got Paramount to pay him for appearing in the scene, we would've heard about that.

Re: Colonel Tom Parker
A most interesting observation..., I must admit I never made the connection...., at the same time, DJC makes a good point about Parker.....

Re: Colonel Tom Parker
Not Colonel. The gentlemans face is visiable in another shot and its clear it its not Colonel. But I wonder did they use deliberately an actor who resembled Colonel.

Re: Colonel Tom Parker
Paramount decided that the film needed another hot-looking man on the screen.

Re: Colonel Tom Parker
Yes, they need a sex symbol. But seriously could've been an inside joke as the scene featured also movie posters of previous Hal Wallis produced Elvis films.drjohncarpenter wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 12:31 am
