King Creole

Didn't enjoy as much as Blue Hawaii. Why... It is black&white; and also a fair amount of gangster scenes. Good I suppose for budding gangsters.

Elvis shows what he would have possibly developed into in this film. Don't get me wrong - you get the usual Presley swagger and curling of the lip, but this is much, much more than that. Add to the mix some great supporting performances and you have a classic film on your hands. Enjoy!

If I could have given this film more than 5 stars I would ! In my opinuon this is one of Elvis' best ever acting performances this along with ' Jailhouse Rock ' Proved that he [ Elvis ] could actually act. It is just a shame that after his return from the army in 1960 his film roles were less dramatic and geared up more to his undoubted fantastic singing ability and his acting was never again really tested apart from a rare serious acting role in ' Charro '.

Set in New Orleans the film contains classic Elvis songs such as Dixieland Rock , Trouble and the classic title track.

Walter mattau as the baddie is superbly cast as is Dean Jagger as Elvis' father who is despairing at Elvis lack of enthusiasm to get an education and to become a singer instead.

Get this film at any cost LOL ! you won't be daissapointed !

EP in his best role as Danny Fisher, the rebel with the voice of Elvis Presley. The plot is pretty unbelievable at times, but Elvis is the main attraction and who cares? Some interesting performances from young male actors pretending to be teenagers (including Presley himself), and good performances from Dean Jagger and Walter Mathau.

This film is good for all the family, the KING at his very best
