King Creole

One of Elvis Presley's finer acting roles came in this drama based on a novel by Harold Robbins. Elvis plays Danny Fisher, a high school dropout who takes a job at a New Orleans nightclub owned by gangster Maxie Fields (Walter Matthau). When Danny’s talent as a singer gets him hired at another joint, Fields wants him back--and he might not take "no" for an answer. With Carolyn Jones, Dolores Hart, Vic Morrow; songs include "Hard-Headed Woman," "Crawfish," and the title tune. 115 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, Restored Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH).
