Rating: 3/4 --
Justly celebrated as the rare Elvis movie in which Presley is not just complemented but also challenged by a song-and-dance co-star of comparable sexual energy and anatomical expressiveness.

Surely, it's Elvis' vehicle, but the movie really belongs to Ann-Margret.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Presley's one really good musical, mainly because it features a female costar, Ann-Margret, who can match the coiffed one in the charisma stakes.
