[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. -rk Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

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.

My fondest memories are laying on the floor next to my dad watching Elvis movies. Was Elvis a good actor? Not really. Good singer? Darn Tootin'.

Re: [MOPO] Worst title translation?
Yes, he was the daredevil of the back projection screen in many movies. KING CREOLE is a terrific picture, but being based (loosely) on an early Harold Robbins novel also helped, as did a solid director in Michael Curtiz who didn't know much about rock 'n' roll but knew how to exploit Elvis's charisma as deftly as he did Errol Flynn's. Elvis (who, so you know, I think was one of the great voices in popular music, as well as one of its greatest entertainers) always worked best with strong directors who obviously recognised his latent dramatic talent. Ironically, some of these were his least successful. And VIVA LAS VEGAS showed the Colonel that Elvis's legions of female fans didn't want to see him with a talent like Ann-Margret. It's a kind of interesting exercise to see what directors directed his films. - Original Message - From: Patrick Michael Tupy To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 3:59 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Worst title translation?

Re: [MOPO] Worst title translation?
i agree, rich.. the one film of Elvis' that i remember watching as a kid was FLAMING STAR. i think the story was pretty good for a western and with Dolores del Rio as Presley's American Indian mother. i found the whole story touching. but you make a good point that he wasn't a great actor. he was cast to make the most of his hype and popularity; although many of today's actors are awful, too, and they still get cast in film after film... some things dont change, i guess..hehe. jeff On Nov 16, 2008, at 8:52 PM, Richard Auras wrote: My fondest memories are laying on the floor next to my dad watching Elvis movies. Was Elvis a good actor? Not really. Good singer? Darn Tootin'. My dads not around anymore but every time an Elvis movie comes on TV, I am glued to the set and I am immediately transported to childhood.

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.

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. -rk Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
