Featured review
OK I have seen almost all of Elvis movies, most of them are great. Even with not such great scripts Elvis always manages to carry the story. But this one was terrible. Perhaps they were trying to make him a more reckless rebel because of the late 60's vibe that was happening in the country. Really dumb story, too much fighting and beating each other up, him being attracted to Joan Blondell who looked like his grandmother. Whoever the makeup person was they did a bad job on Elvis dad and grandfather they both did not look like Indians. Burgess Meridith hair was not even dyed black well and in the beginning of the movie grandfather had pale skin that later turned tan. I have to say Elvis looked fantastic, tan and fit and as bad as the movie was he kept me interested that's how good an actor he was and a really handsome man.
