Today would have been the 75th birthday of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. TCM is showing a marathon of his films this afternoon. Most of them are pretty bad, but one that is a stand out is "Viva Las Vegas." I say that with a slight grimace because it's not a great movie.What makes it a standout if it's not a great movie?
The chemistry between Elvis and co-star Ann-Margret is absolutely undeniable. This still from the film captures the smoldering electricity between the two, who had a PASSIONATE affair off-screen.
Check out "Jailhouse Rock" if your looking for a good Elvis movie. Good story, good acting and of course, GREAT songs.
