The best of the Elvis movies! Great story, great songs and great choreography. A fun movie that is now historical. Elvis plays an ex con trying to get into the music business. He meetss a girl who becomes his business partner while trying to get famous. This movie has a young Elvis trying to keep promises to his former cell mate while trying to rise up the ladder. The ending has a twist ending that leaves all happy. Highly recommended.
