Elvis and Ursula Andress: The Acapulco love triangle you missed

Elvis Presley’s electrifying charm and Ursula Andress’s undeniable star power collided in Fun in Acapulco, making it one of the most memorable films of 1963. Elvis’s iconic hip thrusts and Ursula’s stunning presence brought irresistible chemistry to the screen, but the behind-the-scenes dynamics tell a story as fascinating as the film itself.

The movie was the top-grossing musical of 1963, releasing in the aftermath of JFK’s assassination and providing audiences with much-needed escapism. Elvis’s smooth voice and songs like

“Bossa Nova Baby,” which climbed to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, turned what could have been a typical beach musical into something iconic. Even today, the film holds up as a fun snapshot of Elvis at his peak, despite a somewhat simple script.

While the on-screen chemistry between Elvis and Ursula sizzled, the off-screen dynamic added even more intrigue. Fresh off her breakout role as the first Bond girl in Dr. No, Ursula was at the height of her fame. Initially wary of Elvis due to tabloid rumors, Ursula later admitted she was struck by his humility and warmth. “He was this humble man, full of charm, love in his eyes, and kindness,” she recalled.
