Elvis returned to Nashville's Studio B and recorded three songs for the soundtrack of his next film, "Stay Away, Joe". He had not even been involved in the song selection and was so discouraged by the quality of the movie material that he made Felton Jarvis swear that he would never release one of its songs on record, "Dominic," a song sang to a bull.

Priscilla and several of the wives and girlfriends left Memphis to travel to Sedona. On the set Elvis told a reporter from Cosmopolitan magazine that he still had a lot to learn about acting. Much of his progress, he said, comes from just "hanging out with real good professionals, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't pick up on something from the other actors."
