Elvis
Presley has just completed his movie, Kid Galahad it is one of his
finest roles to date, but it is a surprise how the film got completed
through his troubled co-star Gig Young.
Gig
Young stars alongside Elvis in this cool flick and a must see for
everyone, but behind the set there was tension and fights all caused by
Gig and a certain beautiful actress Elizabeth Montgomery. Gig is married
to the daughter of actor Robert Montgomery, the young and beautiful
actress Elizabeth Montgomery.
While
filming "Kid Galahad" Elizabeth would be a daily visitor on
the set, and would pop in at random to see her handsome husband, whilst
Gig would be filming a scene she would talk to Elvis, Gig would see this
conversation and got very angry with her, he through himself into a rage
and would go to them both and cause a scene, this was a daily occurrence
and on one occasion Gig got so jealous and furious with Liz that he
nearly ended up striking her, but Elvis intervened and told Gig not to
strike her or else!
Elvis was getting fed up of the daily quarrels, he didn't like the way
Gig was behaving and they would often have arguments on the set, Elvis
said,
“I
was getting so fed up with this guy that I felt like it wasn’t worth
finishing the picture, but I did, I would often hear Gig giving
Elizabeth some verbal abuse, but I didn’t interfere… I just hope
that one day she will come to her senses. I am just so glad that the
filming is finished… Personally I never want to work with Gig Young
again.”

Release After Filming Kid Galahad 1962
Since Elvis heard that Elizabeth Montgomery want to be in his film Blue
Hawaii, Elvis has a thing for Elizabeth and it is getting serious, for
the past yea Elvis has been trying to Liz to be his co-star. He has
asked the studio if they would give her a role but so far the studio
bosses keep passing her by.
When asked why and how Elvis felt about Elizabeth he replied, “I am
very envious of Liz’s husband Gig being married to her, and if she
were single I would certainly like to meet her.”
What
did Elizabeth have to say about Elvis’ comment? “I think Elvis is
very attractive and yes if I was single I would date he. He is not quite
my type… but who know what it could lead to? Let’s face it what girl
wouldn’t want to date Elvis? I do want to work with Elvis one day, if
the studios would let me…
After
Kid Galahad was completed, Gig carried on the argument about Elvis. Liz
was so fed up of hearing it. After three weeks of arguing the fighting
got so intense with Gig convinced that his wife had an affair with
Elvis, Gig packed his bags and left the house.
It
seems that Gig Young's private life did not improve and he became unhinged. He was an alcoholic who had a succession of failed
marriages (second wife, Sophia Rosenstein died after two years of
marriage). His third spouse was "Bewitched" star, Elizabeth
Montgomery, to whom he was wed for the seven years preceding her famed
television role. In September of 1978, Young married his fifth wife, Kim
Schmidt (thirty-three years his junior) whom he had met while filming The
Game of Love in Hong Kong. Three weeks into the marriage, Gig Young
shot his wife - and then himself - in the head with a .38 revolver to
fulfill an apparent death pact. Investigators are still not clear on the
tragic details, but were surprised to discover an additional three
revolvers and 350 rounds of ammunition in the apartment. Young was not
quite 65, his bride 31.
