During the filming of Live a Little, Love a Little, Elvis got the bum rush from two little old ladies on a Los Angeles street. He was literally knocked off his feet as the pair pushed past him to get autographs from their idol, Elvis's co-star Rudy Vallee. The famous crooner from the thirties is best remembered for his theme song, "My Time is Your Time" and his amusing performance in Preston Sturges' The Palm Beach Story.
Live a Little, Love a Little marked the second appearance of Vernon Presley, Elvis' father, as a background extra. His other cameo was in Loving You. Another interesting tidbit involves guitarist and composer Mac Davis. His composition, "A Little Less Conversation," was one of the standout musical numbers in the film and was used again in Elvis' 1968 TV comeback special later that year. Davis went on to write some major hits for Elvis, including "In the Ghetto" and "Don't Cry, Daddy."
