Summary: 3 Stars

Our boy is looking real cool in his black leather motorcycle jacket. A sharp dresser for sure. The movie is fun. Motorcycle lovers get to see Elvis on a Honda Superhawk.

Movie Review: Roustabout
Summary: 5 Stars

Want to see a good clean movie well here is one to enjoy and makes for good memories as well. It may be an older movie but shows how changing ones attutide can bring about a better outlook of life and how to enjoy it to the fullest. I have watched this several time and intend to keep doing so. Elvis is still the Greatest in my opinion.

Summary of Roustabout [VHS]

The Elvis formula was well in place by the time of 1964's Roustabout: a passel of undistinguished songs (anyone remember "Poison Ivy League"?), pretty girls, tight pants, a colorful setting, and a little bit of karate to prove that Elvis really had been studying his martial arts. With that understood, Roustabout is a better-than-average workout for the King--not as peppy as Viva Las Vegas, but a good deal livelier than the sleepwalking It Happened at the World's Fair. Elvis plays a bad-boy singer roaming the highways on his Japanese motorcycle; laid up after an accident, he joins a carnival owned by the feisty Barbara Stanwyck. ("This is not a circus, it's a carnival. There's a big difference.") The cast goes from high to low: both giant-sized future James Bond villain Richard Kiel and tiny Billy Barty are carny regulars, and Raquel Welch has a small role in the opening scene. Teri Garr is one of the carnival dancers behind Elvis. The legendary costume designer Edith Head puts Elvis in a series of snappy windbreakers, but thank goodness he's also in black leather a lot. As if that weren't enough to recommend it, the movie has a sequence involving Elvis riding a cycle inside the "Wall of Death," a huge wooden cylinder with high walls. This bit actually inspired an entire Irish film in 1986, Eat the Peach, in which friends build a similar contraption after they watch Roustabout on tape. --Robert Horton
