I loved this movie simply because it's so unlike the typical boy meets girl, boy chases girl role that he tends to play.... it seemed almost like an old school "beginning" mafia movie that truly showed Elvis was just as talented as I've always known him to be:) The non "good boy" image showed how things don't always play hand-in-hand for the perfect happy ending, but a non-stop twisting of love, lies and entertainment.
This movie is simply a great film for its day. Elvis proves that he could have been a GREAT actor, Col Parker would have let him!! This is definately not the typical movie with Elvis singing to dogs in a helicopter, or singing on a motorcycle with no band around! This IS a movie to see Elvis for who he wanted to be. His Army enlistment was post-poned for him to complete this movie. Filmed by the same director as "Casablanca". Highly recommended for those who may not be a huge Elvis fan but would like to become one! Just a GREAT movie!!
I haven't watched the DVD yet so can't speak to the quality of the product. But it came sealed and meets all of my other expectations..

This is a movie from a time when Elvis was still trying to do his best to prove himself as an actor and maybe be able to break away from the songs. Unfortunately, as we all know his management had other ideas and it's too bad because this one really shows that he had natural acting skills. Really great acting and story and hey, the songs were always good in this era. Some other big names in this one as well.
