HIS BEST MOVIE ...

BySASunshineon May 2, 2015

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

I think this was his best movie. He actually gets to do some "acting", it has some good stars in it, and the music I loved! All of which is hard to say about all the rest of his movies. Poor E - he should have gone back to singing right after this! At best, he wasn't a "good" actor anyway....He didn't see it then, but the movies really set him back - WAY BACK. Hit records would have kept him going, rather than the ups and downs.

I was unexpectedly surprised by how much I enjoyed this film

ByFernando O.on August 29, 2016

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

I was unexpectedly surprised by how much I enjoyed this film. It is one of Elvis's early films, and you can tell he was really trying to be a serious actor, not phoning it in as a caricature of his real world persona like in some of his later films. It was a good balance of drama that you want to care about and excellent musical performances. Many films fail on this count and the music intrudes on the real life aspects of the plot. Not in this film. I would recommend this even if you are not a fan of "The King's" acting skills.

Love this movie!

ByMary Francison March 20, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Elvis' last film before being drafted into the Army and before his mother died shows him as a natural actor with Brando qualities. He could have been a contender for a future Oscar if his post-Army movie career hadn't been thwarted by the Colonel's greed for selling soundtracks.

Surrounding cast including Walter Matthau is excellent.

The proof is in the crawfish

ByAmazon Customeron September 6, 2008

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

That gorgeous smile shows up in the first scene. The black and white movie opens with fabulous footage of New Orleans' French Quarter in the '50s, with vendors singing of their produce--an historical practice. A woman on a mule-drawn cart sings "Crawfish," and Elvis leans out a balcony window and joins in her song. As he sings, he ducks back inside and is viewed only through the sheer curtains, tantalizing his fans until the viewer is allowed into the apartment.

Elvis's favorite movie of his is mine, too. Good jazzy songs, good story, and yes, good acting by the young, trim Elvis. His lines were delivered without rushing them the way he did in other movies, and with an appropriate amount of emotion.

A few of the lines from the two needy women who loved him were a little melodramatic, but that can be overlooked, it's all so camp, cute and nostalgic, with a sweet song in a happy ending that brings tears to my eyes.

Written by Harold Robbins who also wrote _The Carpetbaggers_, "King Creole" is heavy drama with some PG violence and adult themes but '50s clean.

Interesting note: Dolores Hart, who plays good girl Nellie, also appeared in "Loving You" and the first "Where the Boys Are." She left Hollywood and became a nun. Now a Mother Superior, she retains her membership in the Academy and votes each year for the Academy Awards, so I have read.

The supporting cast all give great performances, especially bad girl Carolyn Jones, her "boyfriend," Walter Matthau as the villain, plus Dean Jagger as Elvis's father.

Elvis loved this movie and wanted to do more drama, such as Peter O'Toole's "The Lion in Winter." He hated the trite movies the Colonel pushed on him, hated that his wildly successful movies provided financing for good movies of less-received depth and drama he was not allowed to do.

"King Creole" shows he could have done them well. And the singing, of course, is wonderful!

... actors in this film he could of had a good movie career

Bydonald drechsleron July 14, 2017

If Elvis would of stuck with this type of movie with the quality of actors in this film he could of had a good movie career. This movie had some of his best songs like Trouble and Crawfish. The opening scene is one of these best opening in any movie I have watched.

King Creole

ByMsKoalion April 10, 2011

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I wouldn't do without this movie. The perfect Early Elvis music performances are outstanding.
It arrived in quick time way within the stated window and in perfect condition.

Stylishly black and white heavy contrasts and greys. The cast is terrific Carolyn Jones;Vic Morrow; Walter Matthau. Elvis can act and does a perfect job here. He does it very well. And sings in his prime. Down in New Orleans.

Michael Curtiz directed this - one of the great noir filmmakers ie.,Mildred Pierce w/ Joan Crawford. I love his directing. He also directed John Wayne's 'The Commancheros'; and King Creole was his last film. Highly recommend this for your collection of early Elvis. A must have. Good for teens too.
It is a time piece. Should be in the Smithsonian.
