Description
Release Date: 30 August 2004
Includes "The Trouble With Girls", Jailhouse Rock, Spinout and Double Trouble.
"The Trouble With Girls"
As American as the 4th of July, apple pie - and Elvis!
It's like a carnival midway and a week at some highfalutin, East Coast college all in one. The Chautauqua, a travelling 1927 tent show, has come to Radford Center, Iowa. And so has a heap of trouble.
In a change-of-pace role, Elvis Presley portrays Walter Hale, the white-suited impresario overseeing the Chautauqua's novelty acts, lectures and close harmonies. The supporting cast is as colorful as the film's vibrant Americana. Vincent Price's Mr. Morality holds forth on immorality. John Carradine appears as a nimble-minded shakespearen actor. Marlyn Mason, Joyce Van Patten, Sheree North, Edward Andrews and Dabney Coleman also star. And Elvis sings as only he can, from the tender ballad Almost to the rousing traditional Swing Low Sweet Chariot and the untraditional rouser Clean Up Your Own Backyard.
Jailhouse Rock
From the Big House to the Big Time - Elvis Style.
The King plays Vince Everett, jailed for manslaughter after a bar fight. There, Vince learns to belt out tunes instead of saloon patrons and after being paroled, follows a bumpy road to music and movie success. Six Presley songs by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller spike the story, including Treat Me Nice, I Wanna Be Free and the shimmy-shakin' title tune that was Presley's favourite of all his films' production numbers. "It's the beast in me," Elvis says after kissing Peggy (Judy Tyler). Yeah, but it's the best of him too!
Spinout
Elvis Drives 'Em Wild!
Three beautiful, marriage-minded women. One singing, race-car-revving bachelor with a single-minded pursuit: keeping his eyes on the road instead of the ladies. Buckle up, fella, dangerous curves ahead!
Elvis Presley is at the wheel and headed for a romantic Spinout. Shelley Fabares (his co-star in Girl Happy) plays the lovestruck rich girl who always gets what she wants. Deborah Walley is the rock drummer eager for a love duet. Diane McBain is the bestselling author researching "the Perfect American Male" - and who knows she's found him. And playing Fabares' megabucks dad is Carl Betz, who also played her father on TV's The Donna Reed Show. Elvis sings Never Say Yes, Adam and Evil, All That I Am, the title number and the emphatic Stop, Look Listen. Take Spinout out for a spin.
"Double Trouble"
Elvis finds love, larceny and fun - on the double.
When crooner Guy Lambert wraps his London show and travels to Brussels, two beauties secretly follow. One (Annette Day) is a lovestruck heiress, the other (Yvonne Romain) an enigmatic temptress. And they could be two too much for unattached Guy.
Comedy, mystery and mayhem combine when Elvis Presley plays Guy in Double Trouble, a romp involving stolen gems, trenchcoated defectives - that is, detectives! - and more. Through it all, a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do. That means performing a tune array that includes the title cut, City by Night, Could I Fall In Love?, Long-Legged Girl and There's So Much World To See. Trouble was never this cool and this much fun.
