Live a Little, Love a Little is a 1968 American musical comedy film starring Elvis Presley.[1] It was directed by Norman Taurog, who had directed several previous Presley films. This was to be Taurog's final film, as he went blind shortly after production ended.[1] Presley shares the screen with fellow legendary singing idol Rudy Vallée, whose career dated to the 1920s, but Vallee, in his late 60s, did not sing in the film.[citation needed]
The film introduced the song "A Little Less Conversation", an alternate take of which would form the basis of a remix that returned Presley to international music sales charts in 2002.[citation needed]
