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
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.
