Titles
Comprise:
G.I. Blues:
The year was
1960. A
payola
scandal
shocks the
music world.
Movie fans
are
introduced
to glorious
Smell-O-Vision.
The 50-star
flag is
adopted. And
in G.I.
Blues, Elvis
adopts an
on-screen
persona he
knows well
in real life
- a singin'
G.I. in West
Germany.
Eager to
open a
stateside
nightclub
after his
hitch in
khakis, he
takes part
in a wager
to raise the
dough he
needs. The
bet: he can
melt the
heart of a
willowy
dancer
(Juliet
Prowse). But
all bets may
be off when
real love
intervenes...
King Creole:
The year was
1958.
Everybody's
dating at
the
drive-in.
America
launches its
first
satellite.
The novel
'Lolita'
stirs up
controversy.
And Elvis
Presley
gives
Bourbon
Street a new
beat in King
Creole. He
plays a
troubled
youth whose
singing sets
the French
Quarter
rockin'.
With a sweet
girl to love
him and
night
clubbers
cheering, it
looks like
Elvis will
shake off
his past and
head for the
top. But
will a
mobster
(Walter
Matthau) and
his man-trap
moll
(Carolyn
Jones) snare
him in a
life of
crime?
Blue Hawaii:
The year was
1961.
Fallout
shelters dot
suburban
backyards.
Ken joins
Barbie.
Roger Maris
slugs 61
home runs.
And Elvis
Presley is
in paradise,
playing an
ex-G.I. who
comes home
to Blue
Hawaii. His
mother
(Angela
Lansbury)
expects him
to climb the
corporate
ladder. But
Elvis would
rather wear
an aloha
shirt than a
white
collar, so
he goes to
work as a
tour guide.
Lucky Elvis:
his first
customers
are a car
full of
cuties.
Elvis,
lovely
scenery,
lovelier
girls and
rock-a-hula
songs - now
that's
paradise!
