It's pretty tough to beat Jailhouse Rock in terms of sheer entertainment, but Elvis lovers are particularly fond of this 1964 hit. The Big E plays race-car driver Lucky Jackson, who arrives in Las Vegas for an upcoming Grand Prix race. Lucky's car needs a new engine, so he gets a waiter job at a casino and starts working his crooning charms on Rusty Martin (Ann-Margret). It's their on-screen chemistry that makes this flick a lot of fun; Presley never had a better costar than Ann-Margret, and their race-car romance is quintessential 1960s fluff. Then there are the songs, of course, including the snappy title tune, a rockin' rendition of Ray Charles's "What'd I Say?," and "The Yellow Rose of Texas." Viva Las Vegas is one of the Elvis movies that stands the test of time, when the legend was still at his peak. And if you're wondering if the King gets his car fixed in time to win the race, well, check out the movie to find out. --Jeff Shannon

 Viva this movie! April 10, 2009
Quentin (NorthWest)
I finally got around to watching my HD DVD of Viva Las Vegas and wow does it look great. Hard to believe it's 45 years old, kudos to Warner for really cleaning up this old gem!
Admittedly, most Elvis movies were forgetable but not this one, it's a lot of fun. I enjoyed the scenery of old Las Vegas and the songs were quite good. Elvis himself seems to be having a good time and so do the other actors. No doubt he enjoyed this movie more than others of the same era, you can see it in his performance.
But what really makes the film special is Ann-Margret! She is incredibly beautiful and alive. Whether dancing, singing or just being - every scene she's in glows plus she breathes life into Elvis' performance too - there is real chemistry between these stars.
If you're looking for an Elvis movie to watch, this is one of his best. Or if you just want a fun movie give Viva Las Vegas a spin, you'll be glad you did!
great film! February 10, 2009
