Kissin' Cousins is a 1964 American musical Panavision Metrocolor comedy film directed by Gene Nelson, and starring Elvis Presley. Written by Gerald Drayson Adams and Gene Nelson, and produced by Sam Katzman, the film features Presley in a dual role: Josh Morgan, a dark-haired Air Force officer, and Jodie Tatum, his blonde, look-alike distant cousin, a hillbilly who lives with his family in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
