Charro! Facts
There's a nude scene, where Ina Balin leaves the bath-tub, as Elvis's character appears in her room. This scene is rarely seen, and is generally not in the edits of the film that have been televised or on video/DVD.
The songs were recorded in November 1968 at the Goldwyn Studios. "Charro", the title song appeared on the B-side of Elvis's single "Memories" (1969). A second song, "Let's forget about the Stars", written by A.L. Owens, was recorded for but not used in the film. It appeared, among others, on the compilation album "Let's be Friends" (1970).
As usually, Elvis Presley gave no interviews about this film and wasn't in the film's premiere.
This is the only movie in which Elvis Presley doesn't sing. The only song is the one during the titles.
The film's title, "Charro", which refers to the nickname of Elvis's character Jess Wade, loosely translates from Spanish to English as "singer". Specifically, "Charro" refers to the lead singer of a mariachi band. Although it's a fitting name for an actor known as a singer, Elvis ironically does no singing in the movie.
