Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaElvis Presley refused to watch this movie because of Judy Tyler's tragic death in a car accident in Wyoming on July 3, 1957, three days after filming was completed.
- GoofsNo matter when, where, or under what circumstances, when Vince is singing, he always has the same backup group, so they all must have been serving prison sentences at the same time, been released at the same time, but gotten jobs at the first club before he tries out. They then apparently leave that job, so they can back him up when he cuts his first record.
- Quotes
Peggy Van Alden: [Vince aggressively kisses Peggy] How dare you think such cheap tactics would work with me!
[Vince again aggressively kisses Peggy]
Vince Everett: That ain't tactics, honey. It's just the beast in me.

Featured review
Cashing in on Elvis' great popularity.
As soon as Elvis became an international sensation in 1956 he started making movies, built around him as a singer. This was the third of a long list and it was shot over a 2 month time period in the studio in 1957. But what amazes me even more is that he was a credible, natural actor from the very beginning. This young guy from rural Mississippi.
In "Jailhouse Rock" he had spent a short time in prison before plying his trade as a singer with a guitar. After some early shenanigans by record labels he decided to form his own company, with his partner, Judy Tyler as Peggy Van Alden. In real life young Elvis was apparently smitten with the 24-year-old beauty. Tragically she died in an automobile accident only a few weeks after shooting wrapped up for this movie.
None of the Elvis movies are great movies but they all entertain, including this one.
