Director: Richard Thorpe
Stars: Elvis Presley, Judy Tyler
Not his first film (that was Love Me Tender), but his first film in which he really was the star!
Elvis plays a guy who goes to jail on a manslaughter charge (he got in a fight protecting someone) and in the joint, he learns to play the guitar and sing. He becomes a sensation, and when he gets out, he's famous and has girls going crazy about him and everything! He starts a career with the help of Peggy (Tyler), and they fall in love eventually. Nothing too grand, just a nice, dramatic Elvis movie.
I love the Jailhouse Rock scene! His dancing is ridiculous!
