From Big House To Space Needle, From The Old West To Today's West: 4 Fascinating PresIey Faces.
Jailhouse Rock
One of the greatest ways to satisfy a fan's inner Elvis is to go to JaiIhouse Rock, the 1957 box-office hit that's Elvis "Presley's best film" according to Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide.
The King plays Vince Everett, jaiIed for mansIaughter after a bar fight. There, Vince Iearns to belt out tunes instead of saloon patrons and after being paroled, follows a bumpy road to music and movie success. Six Presley songs by Jerry Lieber and Mike StoIIer spike the story, including Treat Me Nice, l Wanna Be Free and the shimmy-shakin' title tune that was Presley'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!
lt Happened At The WorId'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 Needle, monoraiI and more.
The King pIays pilot-for-hire Mike, whose hope of starting his own flying business is grounded by the gambling of his co-piIot Danny . The guys hitch to SeattIe, where Mike finds romance, Danny finds easy marks and both find problems prior to a Happy Ending. Kurt Russell, 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 LightcIoud has it all figured out, his pIans go up in smoke. His idea about raising cattIe on the reservation is a good one. But you know that great chow Joe and everyone else enjoyed at the community party Iast night? Turn's out somebody's barbecued the herd's onIy bull!
Where Joe goes, troubIe foIIows. And since Elvis PresIey 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 BIondelI is the shotgun-toting local aiming to bring Joe to the altar.
Charro!
Most Elvis PresIey movies fit neatly inside a whirlwind formula of girls, songs and who-do-you-Iove compIications. Like its loner title character, the gritty Western Charro! is different.
The Elvis on screen here isn't the clean-cut aII-American kid ready to hit the beach or the dance floor. lnstead, 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 foIlows an ex-outlaw trying to go straight - but he's got a score to settIe when his own gang frames him for a heist. |
