DOUBLE FEATURE.

Viva Las Vegas. Elvis is “IN” the building when he is not out flying planes, water skiing, car racing and romancing show-stopper and fellow hip-shaker: Ann-Margret in a film that is widely considered his most enjoyable.  Director George Sidney (Anchors Aweigh, Kiss Me Kate, Show Boat) was fresh off his hit Bye, Bye Birdie when Elvis grabbed him and his leading lady to star in this film.  If you remotely like Elvis, you will LOVE this and will be singing the soundtrack hours after! Color, 85 minutes.

Spinout.  Why settle for one Elvis as a racecar driving singer movie when you could have two? The King goes back to the track for the second time (there was a third with Speedway) in this Norman Taurog directed film.  In this one, Elvis, between racing and singing, tries to fend off the matrimonial intent of not one but three girls. Shelley Fabares (who had a hit single herself once with “Johnny Angel”) plays the one that finally gets Elvis. Color, 93 minutes.
