Most helpful review Flaming Star

  • Forget G.I. Blues & Blue Hawaii

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By DKM (148 reviews) from Stoke-on-Trent , 04 Aug 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Elvis was a great singer, but not such a great actor, although his musicals are good films, he did make some even better straight acting films, this one in my view would be placed in his top 6 films, apart from the title track there are only 1 or 2 other very short songs in it, Elvis plays a great part and shows that he did have reasonable acting ability where films like G.I Blues mainly focus on his songs, if you forget 'Old Mcdonald' in the 'Double Trouble' film.

  • One of the King's best movies

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Tony Marriott from England , 03 Jun 2007
    Elvis does a good job with this movie. Apparently in real life he was decended from indian blood which is probably why he identified whit this role. Yes, it is a bit cheesy in places, but this is due to it's age! Watch out for moments of brilliance with his acting though - the scene when 'Pacer' decides to choose a different path in life is stunning. The boy could act when called upon to do so! It's just a real shame that he never took the role in 'A star is Born'.

  • Elvis The Actor

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By yelserp from Tyne & Wear , 20 Jun 2005
    Alongside 'King Creole' this rates as Elvis Presley's finest cinematic performance in this Don (Dirty Harry) Siegal directed western that holds racist tension, great scenary and a fine performance from the man.

    Only 2 songs in the first five minutes give way to an exciting western adventure that both fans and non fans should give a look.

    You won't be disappointed! Top marks all the way around.
