Summary: Elvis shows why he is the KING!
Review: This is not Elvis' best movie, I still think King Creole is his #1, but Jailhouse Rock is not far behind. If they could have kept Elvis in roles like these, he would have been listed along with James Dean and Marlon Brando as the greatest actors of that period. Besides it has my favorite line out of any movie ever, "That ain't tactics honey, that's just the beast in me". He looked great, sang great, and no one has ever even come close to being this cool. He was and will forever be the KING!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Elvis Presley's Best Movie
Review: This is Presley's third and best film which was released in 1957 just as he was reaching his peak. It is in ultra-cool black & white which just seems to add to its value. It has great dramatic appeal and is best remembered for its great songs, and for scenes that typify the Presley personality. One song is the incredible Jailhouse Rock musical sequence, with all of the blistering excitement and energetic dancing by the man who did it best.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Elvis Presley's best movie! GREAT ACTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This was one of Elvis Presley's best movies. Elvis Presley proofed that he can do drama with this film.

You'll never find a movie like it. This was Elvis Presley 3rd movie.

How could anybody not enjoy this movie. Even if they are not an Elvis Presley fan.

Vince Everett (Elvis Presley) is a truck driver. One day he is in a bar. When a woman beater shows up. Vince protects a woman. And Vince gets into a fight with the man.

Vince ends up in jail. He is put in a cell with a country music star named Hunk Houghton (Mickey Shaughnessy).

One day a show is done from the jail. Vince gets a part in the show. Soon after he gets a lot of fan mail. Hunk is in the jail postoffice and is waiting to count his fan mail. But finds lot of the mail is for Vince Everett.

So he gives the mail to the warden (Hugh Sanders). On the day Vince is freed, Hunk tells him that he wrote a letter to a shop owner (Percy Helton) for a sining job. But the job is beening a bar boy. So Vince goes on stage and sings Young and Beautiful.

He meets Peggy Van Alden (the late Judy Taylor). She tells him to make a tape recording.

Soon after he gets a manger (Vaughn Taylor). And he has another hit with Treat Me Nice.

Sadly Judy Taylor was killed in a car crash after the movie was completed.
