Summary:
Jailhouse rock: A young man is sent to prison when he accidentally kills a man in a barroom brawl. While behind bars he takes up singing and is helped in the record business by a beautiful young woman. Viva Las Vegas: Lucky Jackson arrives in town with his car literally in tow ready for the first Las Vegas Grand Prix. At least, he will be ready to race once he has the money to buy an engine. He gets the cash easily enough, but loses it when a pretty swimming pool manager takes his mind off things. It seems he will lose both the race and the girl. His problems don't get any easier when rival Elmo Mancini, a fellow racer and womaniser, gets in the way. Girl happy: Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale. It's the perfect time and place for a girl, a guy, and a beach blanket. But when club singer Rusty Wells is not wowing the crowds, he has the added task of making sure the overly exuberant daughter of his boss doesn't fall for any revved-up bikini chasers while on vacation. Spinout: Elvis plays a singer-race car driver who has a single-minded desire to remain single. Pursuing him is a trio of lovelies with an itch to get hitched, but they have a lot more than each other as rivals. They have to compete with the sleek curves and shiny good looks of a high-powered Cobra 427. Elvis, that's the way it is: Features Elvis in rehearsal as well as in six Las Vegas concerts, along with interviews with fans. Elvis on tour: Documentary film featuring rehearsal and "on the road" Elvis Presley performance footage, personal moments from his early days, and interviews. Filmed during a 1972 15-city cross-country tour. This is Elvis: A definitive biography of the King which contains interviews from the many people who knew Elvis best, including Presley's family members, his friends and employees and Colonel Tom Parker. All of this provides a revealing look at the life of one of the most captivating men of the twentieth century.
