Fun in Acapulco is a 1963 American musical comedy film starring Elvis Presley and Ursula Andress.[5]

The film featured the Top 10 Billboard hit "Bossa Nova Baby" and reached No. 1 on the national weekly box office charts a week after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. The film would be Presley's last release before the arrival of Beatlemania. It was the top-grossing movie musical of 1963.
