Viva Las Vegas, 1964



Director: George Sidney
Stars: Elvis Presley, Ann-Margaret









"The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet."

That's a line from the song Lucky (Elvis) sings to Rusty (Ann-Margaret) by the pool at a Las Vegas hotel, where Rusty works (above). It's my favorite of all the songs in the movie, it's so sweet as he chases her around the pool, and she pretends to resist him. But, as he himself tells her, he's hard to resist.

They meet and fall in love when he comes to Las Vegas for a car race. As he fixes up his car, and works at the hotel to pay for his room, their romance deepens. The movie ends with a race and a wedding, but I won't spoil it for you! ;) And there's plenty of music and dancing throughout.

This movie is SO much fun!
