After several years of failed screenplays and cast changes, MGM sold the rights to Columbia Pictures in May 1965. Columbia also struggled to get the project off the ground, and in April 1968 sold the rights back to MGM. This time MGM lined up Presley to star and production began in the fall of 1968. ''Chautauqua'' was the working title, but it was later changed to ''The Trouble with Girls'' when the producers worried that audiences would not understand the title or be able to pronounce it.
