Without him, they'd completely collapse. <I>King Creole</I> isn't bad. It sure looks like a classic film, anyway. Maybe it's the black and white.

With such groovy names as Roustabout, Clambake and Kissin' Cousins, Elvis' movies seemed to ride on his fame alone. Plots were an afterthought! However, I must say that King Creole stands alone as a quality film. Elvis actually does quite a good job of acting in KC. It's a shame. If he had continued in this direction, who knows where his film career would have gone. I must share that, in honor of Elvis, I always refer to the famous "Oyster Bake" here in San Antonio as the "Clam Bake"...Drives people crazy, and not one person has made the connection to Elvis yet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
