Amazon.com essential video:
Elvis Presley's third and best film is this musical romp released in 1957, just as the Big "E" was reaching the peak of his hip-swiveling pre-army success. Filmed in ultra-cool black and white, the movie stars Elvis as a good ol' boy who saves a woman from an assault but kills her attacker, so he's convicted of manslaughter and sent to jail. While doing time he takes up the guitar and becomes a singing sensation, ready for the big time when he's finally released. He becomes a big star but his inflated ego gets him into trouble with his former cellmate and his new girlfriend. Short on plot but heavy on rock & roll, this EP classic features such hit songs as "Treat Me Nice," "Baby, I Don't Care," "Don't Leave Me Now," and, of course, the classic title song, performed in an elaborate jailhouse number that Elvis choreographed himself. This is Elvis in all his big-screen glory, and the movie's upbeat ending made it a huge success during its original release. --Jeff Shannon

In my opinion, this is the best movie Elvis made. It shows his natural ability to act, and if Parker had not been in control and allowed Elvis good parts, people would have a very different opinion on Elvis' Hollywood career. King Creole is a close second to this movie. The music in this movie is awesome!

This was Elvis' finest film although he never would see it during his life due to the terribly tragic death of his co-star Judy Tyler. She recently wed after the film and was killed with her new husband in a car crash very shortly after the film wrap. Elvis, who was very fond of her, (she made only one other film-Bop Girl) vowed never to watch the film as it was too painful to see the late Ms Tyler- so full of life- with so short a time to live. It is sad that one of the few films worth viewing, ... Read More

Jailhouse Rock [Blu-ray]
True Elvis fan's movie, Joy to watch and listen to the king sing in his prime!
Rating:  -
This was his third movie. Not much of a movie but the jail house rock number rocks. I actually enjoyed watching this movie more with the commentary on because this is realy more a nostalgic look at Elvis the movie itself is not that great. But Elvis fans will love the picture and sound quality and commentary.
