Phil, Elvis starred in much better movies than Viva Las Vegas.
King Creole is one.

The real highlight of this film is Kurt Russell kicking Elvis in the shins as
I recall.
What a seriously wasted film career, with very few exceptions they are
ghastly B movies.
VIVA LAS VEGAS (aka LOVE IN LAS VEGAS for some international markets) showed
what happened when Elvis was paired with someone as talented as Ann-Margret.

Subject: [MOPO] Worst title translation?
Speaking of bad film title translations...
I realize that Elvis films are generally awful, but my favorite is "It
Happened at the World's Fair."
Something seems to have gone wrong when this film title was translated into
various languages. I guess the rest of the world was not interested in seeing a
movie about Elvis at the World's Fair.
Spanish:
Puños y lágrimas (Fists and Tears)
Danish:
Elvis i den syvende himmel (Elvis in the 7th Heaven)
French:
Blondes, brunes, rousses (Blondes, Brunettes, Redheads)
Finnish:
Sydän tarjolla (Heart Available)
Swedish:
Hjärta till salu (Heart for sale)
The Argentina poster has the "Blonde, Brunettes, and Redheads" title, but
at least they were nice enough to show the Space Needle. I think most of the
foreign posters do not.
BTW, I live in Seattle, and I think the US one sheet is a must-have for any
poster collector who lives here.
