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

 Jail House Rock February 2, 2010

ELVIS and ROCK & ROLL 1957 WOW!!! (a blu-ray only review, explained) December 13, 2009
forrie lowell
This was Elvis' 3rd movie and on the threshold of Rock & Roll. Jailhouse rock proved that Elvis was a talent and Rock and Roll was a true threat to Pop Music!
Now for the 1st time on Blu-ray 1080p widescreen "Jailhouse Rock" even in black & white was one of Elvis' greatest movies giving us his triple allstar threat performance!!! (singing, dancing and acting) You can see his serious commitment to the acting art.
This Blu-ray / 5.1 True Dolby HD recording is absolutely wonderful. A MUST HAVE have Elvis milestone movie/ semi musical. (before they became sappy and Elvis was sterotyped) The HD is fantastic, clear and the 5.1 music is priceless.
Believe me this, this is Elvis early wonderfully enchanting and at his best!!
Extras include; featurette, commentary (great background info on Elvis), dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack (original mono sound track too) and theatrical trailer.
This is the one for Elvis fans and music lovers!! Enjoy!!

Jailhouse Rock Review July 6, 2009
Robert T. Lukomski (Milwaukee, WI, USA)
I'm told this was Elvis' favorite of his films, and it also is one of the critics' favorites. I'm glad they put this out in glorious black & white and didn't mess with it by colorizing it. The acting is very good...some may be surprised that a musician can act as well as Elvis could. The plot is interesting, as are the characters. This is an all-around enjoyable film and I strongly recommend it. Some nice extras on the DVD also.
 The King Of The Hill? March 28, 2009
Alfred Johnson (boston, ma)
I am been involved lately, on a blog site that I belong to, in a friendly but spirited "debate" over whether Elvis or Jerry Lee Lewis was the real "king of the hill" in the early days of rock & roll. I have argued that, pound for pound, Jerry Lee had more energy, more musical skill, more ..., well, you get the picture, than Elvis could ever dream of. And with some exceptions, noted below, this movie, "Jailhouse Rock" based on the successful recording of one of his most famous early songs only buttresses that argument. Any Elvis aficionado would have to agree that this film is probably Elvis' best cinematic effort (most of the others being merely vehicles for promoting his latest songs of the time). Overall, however, after fifty years it does not stand the test of time.
The premise of the film is not a bad one, paralleling in some senses the real life Elvis' story of a backwoods kid who has two strikes against him trying for the brass ring- and winning. Elvis (Vince), as an ex-con is up against it in trying to crash into the record business. After falling flat on his face trying to get the established record companies to give him a shot he goes on to set up his own record company (not as hard to do in those days as one would think and certainly much easier than trying to do that today, Internet or not). After some frustrations and a few fights, verbal and otherwise, he catches the elusive break. Talent, will out. Oh, did I mention that he has a partner (two, really, but I want to discuss only one)? A young, vibrant and upscale woman who sees potential in a bad boy from across the tracks. She has faith in him. A classic 1950's teen movie cinematic trope. T he class struggle here, oops, the love struggle, forms the backdrop to the action of the film. Naturally after the now cocky Vince gets his comeuppance the couple live happily ever after making platters and making the hearts of teenage girls in the 1950's spin.
Now one and all will agree that the movie script deserves no Academy Award nomination. Moreover, these kinds of movies were made to cash in on Elvis' sex appeal and to promote his songs. However, except for the classic "Jailhouse Rock" scene where we get high swiveling Elvis at his best the rest of the songs are sleepers. His acting, as the alienated youth trying to find his own way in a hard world that he didn't make, rings false. The alienated youth image was done better, a million times better, by James Dean who made an art form out of that alienation. On Elvis it seems contrived. In any case, I will give Elvis his big moment in that "Jailhouse Rock" scene. But if you have one scene to think about musically from the 1950's doesn't Jerry Lee Lewis playing like a crazy man on "High School Confidential" on the back of a flat top truck on the way to the local high school really represent a better iconic image of what early rock & and roll was about in the late 1950's. Case closed.
