Summary:
The king of rock and roll starred in films that were as entertaining and beloved as his legendary music. Featuring simple, powerful storytelling, iconic charm and high-energy musical numbers, these seven movies, selected in honor of Elvis Presley's 75th birthday, are a must-own addition to any DVD collection. Flaming star: In this frontier adventure, Elvis stars as Pacer Burton, born to a Kiowa mother and a white father. When fighting breaks out between the two groups, Pacer finds himself pulled into the violence despite his peace-making efforts. Love me tender: This timeless classic features Elvis singing the title song, one of the world's most cherished love songs. Believing his brother Vance died in the Civil War, Clint Reno marries Vance's beloved, only to have the brother return home alive. Wild in the country: In this gripping drama, Elvis plays Glenn Tyler, a rebellious backwoods delinquent, gifted with literary talent, while Hope Lange plays the sympathetic psychiatrist who tries to help him. Clambake: A million-heir, hoping to learn about life from the bottom up, trades identities with a penniless water-ski instructor. Now, without money or title, he'll have to rely on his charm to compete with a rich playboy for the affection of a beautiful co-ed. Follow that dream: Good-ol'-boy Toby Kwimper just wants to make a life for himself and his family in sunny Florida. But he soon gets more than he bargained for, hounded by hoods, and pursued by a social worker with more than just his welfare on her mind. Frankie and Johnny: A fiery musical about Frankie and Johnny, two riverboat entertainers with a passion for performing -- and each other. Kid Galahad: When a shrewd gambler attempts to use a young, gallant boxer, Walter Gulick, as his pawn, it's up to Walter to show him what winning's all about.
