One of my top five Elvis flicks. It has that 50's feel. The second of many Elvis movies.
From wikipedia: For his first role in Technicolor, Presley decided that he would look better on screen with dark hair.[1] His screen idols, including Tony Curtis, had dark hair and Presley had always admired their acting abilities and the way they looked on screen.[1] He decided to dye his hair black and with a few exceptions, including his time in the U.S. Army, he would keep it dyed for the rest of his life.[1]
Presley's parents, Gladys and Vernon, were both present during the filming of the final scene of the film and appeared on screen during the musical number.[1] Following Gladys' death a year later, Presley insisted that he would never watch the film again because it would remind him too much of his mother.[1]
Look for his mom in the youtube video at 1:00. Great song from the King! Btw.
