Elvis pleaded with Roustabout director John Rich to let him do his own fight scene, he promised to take full
responsibility if there was an accident. There was, and Elvis was mortified, the director was very reluctant to face
producer Hal Wallis. In the end Rich came up with an ingenious solution to explain the stitches required to sew up the
cut above the star's eye: it was now the result of his motorcycle being run off the road (already a story point), and Elvis would simply wear a Band-Aid from the next scene on. Wallis, Elvis, and the public all bought it, so no shooting days were lost.
