JAILHOUSE ROCK 1957 (WARNER)

The most popular film Elvis ever made concerns him as a young man sentanced to jail for a few years after he assults a man in a bar. He soon learns how to play the guitar and when he is released from prison he starts on a career as a singer.
With the help of a lovely young woman played by Judy Tyler, he becomes a recording sensation and the musical number for the title tune forever changed modern music.
Highly enjoyable film with plenty of music, a well directed story and, of course, Elvis at his very best.
Judy Tyler was an up and coming star who was very sexy and had made one other film called Bop Girl Goes Calypso. She was tragically killed at the age os 25 when she and her husband were coming back from their honeymoon and they had a head on collision with a truck in Billy The Kid, Wyoming. She was dead at the scene and he died the following morning from his injuries.
Elvis was so upset that he never watched Jailhouse Rock, and it was a tragic story behind one of the best films ever made.
If you haven't seen this film, I think you should, if only to see the King at the very top of his game.
