Watching after almost 15 yrs. Good ..well done. Elvis may not be too proud of it but the Cast is a wonderful and he is Charismatic with Acting Abilities that are very good. I wish he was allowed to show more of it than what Hollywood would let him do! ✨✨✨✨

Elvis Presley plays Charlie Rogers, a hot tempered singer who loses his singing gig after getting into a fight which takes him to a carnival where his singing brings in the crowds, but his pursuit of a beautiful girl rubs her father the wrong way. Typical Elvis movie with some great songs and performances. Always fun revisiting classic Elvis movies.
