"The King at his best"...That's what the poster of this movie says and it's totally right(y)(y)(y)

Love this one....great songs, my fave ever Elvis line - the beast in me.....that was superb, the way he looked at her and kissed her....wow...and he looked great in this film too......the Jailhouse Rock sequence is a classic!

Plus Jean, the way he grabbed her to him before the kiss, lawdy lawdy lawdy.

Besides the "Jailhouse Rock" scene, choreographed by Elvis, it has some other classic scenes. Remember this?

Judy Tyler: "how dare you think such cheap tactics would work with me", with Elvis replying: "that ain't tactics honey, it's just the beast in me" after having kissed Judy Tyler. Cool stuff.

This one also has the benefit of some great co-actors: Judy Tyler, Mickey Shaughnessy, and a nice directing job by Richard Thorpe.

Completely agree with you Sonny. He played Vince very convincing and cool. The songs are great too. Simply a great movie. Nothing more to say.

Just watched the Blu-ray DVD –– awesome!
