Elvis met privately with Colonel Parker at the M.G.M. lot, while Larry Geller and some of the guys waited impatiently to

leave for Memphis.

Elvis emerged enraged from the meeting and declared that the Colonel had accused him of "being on a "religious kick....

He doesn't know anything about me," Elvis insisted. "My life is not a kick. It's real." Tensions were now mounting among Elvis' entourage as well. Almost to a man, they were deeply resentful of Larry's growing influence on Elvis and his constant presence around him. Some of the tension came to the fore when Elvis fired Joe Esposito in Amarillo over what amounted to little more than a minor misunderstanding, and replaced him with Marty Lacker.

Elvis' next picture will be "Tickle Me", to be produced for Allied Artists by Ben Schwalb and directed by Norman Taurog. Elvis would receive $750,000, more than half the total budget, and 50 percent of the profits. Because Allied was in financial trouble, not to mention the increased difficulty of getting Elvis into the recording Studio, the Colonel came up with a new scheme for the soundtrack. In a letter to Elvis of this date the Colonel suggested "the idea of using in this picture ten or twelve songs that you have already recorded and have been released on albums in the past but never have been released on either singles or 45's." The beauty of the scheme, the Colonel explained, is that it saved both time and money; all Elvis had to do was to indicate his agreement as soon as possible. Elvis' sparsely worded reply a month later read simply: "Arrangements with records okay. Elvis."

Elvis continued his spiritual studies with Larry Geller in Memphis, even flying in Larry's wife and two young children so they could stay at the Howard Johnson's motel just down the road. None of the usual Memphis pursuits were abandoned, however, with the Fairgrounds or the Memphian rented out nearly every night-and sometimes both. During this visit Elvis would screen "Dr. Strangelove", one of his all-time favourite movies, that starred Peter Sellers, one of his favourite actors, five times. A large variety of movie genres were watched, from biblical epics ("King of Kings" and "The Robe") to more Peter Sellers comedies ("A Shot in the Dark") to classic action pictures ("The Great Escape") to Alfred Hitchcock's "Marnie" and M.G.M.'s "Big Parade of Comedy".
