Clambake

Clambake is a 1967 musical film starring Elvis Presley, and co-starring Shelley Fabares and Bill Bixby—the last of his four films for United Artists. The movie reached no. 15 on the national weekly box office charts. Scott Heyward rebels against the plans and expectations of his father, extremely rich oilman Dusty Heyward . He drives off to find himself. When he stops for some food, he runs into Tom Wilson , on his way to take a job as a water-skiing instructor at a Miami hotel. A chance remark by Tom gives Scott an idea: he switches identities with Tom so he can find out how people... react to him rather than his money. Tom has fun staying at the same hotel and pretending he is rich. Hotel guest Dianne Carter insists on taking a lesson minutes after Scott checks in with his new "employer". However, once they are out on the water, she proves herself to be an expert skier, performing fancy maneuvers to gain the attention of wealthy young playboy James J. Jamison III . Later, she confesses to Scott she is a gold digger, assuming he is one too.
