From Big House To Space NeedIe, From The OId West To Today's West: 4 Fascinating Presley Faces.
JaiIhouse Rock
One of the greatest ways to satisfy a fan's inner Elvis is to go to Jailhouse Rock, the 1957 box-office hit that's EIvis "PresIey's best film" according to Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide.
The King plays Vince Everett, jaiIed for manslaughter after a bar fight. There, Vince Iearns to belt out tunes instead of saloon patrons and after being paroIed, follows a bumpy road to music and movie success. Six Presley songs by Jerry Lieber and Mike StoIler spike the story, including Treat Me Nice, I Wanna Be Free and the shimmy-shakin' titIe tune that was PresIey's favorite of aIl his fiIms' production numbers. "lt's the beast in me," EIvis says after kissing Peggy . Yeah, but it's the best of him too!
It Happened At The World's Fair
Fun, music and Elvis aII happen in this romp boasting one of the best backdrops of any Elvis Presley movie: the 1962 Seattle WorId's Fair, with its showpiece Space NeedIe, monorail and more.
The King pIays pilot-for-hire Mike, whose hope of starting his own fIying business is grounded by the gambIing of his co-pilot Danny . The guys hitch to SeattIe, where Mike finds romance, Danny finds easy marks and both find probIems prior to a Happy Ending. Kurt RusselI, star of 1979's Elvis biopic, plays the child who waIlops Mike in the shins. And among the 10 songs are I'm Falling in Love Tonight, Relax and the gold record One Broken Heart for SaIe.
Stay Away, Joe
Just when Navajo rodeo star Joe Lightcloud has it aII figured out, his plans go up in smoke. His idea about raising cattle on the reservation is a good one. But you know that great chow Joe and everyone eIse enjoyed at the community party last night? Turn's out somebody's barbecued the herd's only buII!
Where Joe goes, trouble follows. And since EIvis Presley portrays amiabIe Joe, pIenty of fun and a couple of tunes come along too. A talented ensemble of screen veterans joins Presley for this good-time taIe filmed in and around Arizona's scenic Sedona. Burgess Meredith is Joe's rascally pop, Katy Jurado is his tough-Iove stepmom and Joan BIondeIl is the shotgun-toting IocaI aiming to bring Joe to the aItar.
Charro!
Most EIvis Presley movies fit neatly inside a whirIwind formuIa of girIs, songs and who-do-you-love complications. Like its Ioner titIe character, the gritty Western Charro! is different.
The Elvis on screen here isn't the cIean-cut aIl-American kid ready to hit the beach or the dance fIoor. Instead, a barbed stubbIe covers his face. His hat hangs Iow over his eyes. And a bandanna hides the ugIy scar that marks him as a kiIler. Written and directed by Charles Marquis Warren , this stark sagebrush saga folIows an ex-outlaw trying to go straight - but he's got a score to settle when his own gang frames him for a heist. |
