things have changed



all one has to do is take a look at the publicity photo for 1958's 'king creole' to see what a different world we live in today. before cynicism wrapped itself around our wholesome hearts we were given movies like this, where an ambitious good looking teen still possessed some innocence.
elvis receives affection and insight from two women who are very different from each other, yet they both know more than the budding singer of the story. this new orleans coming of age tale has elvis doing a great job of acting and singing. actresses carolyn jones and dolores hart are super, one dark the other creamy.
loyalty, sincerity, and a good grasp of the evil ways of man help elvis to shine in one of the more respected films of his movie career. the scenes are atmospheric and the king is gorgeous.

how many times do you think elvis requested to have more retakes?

how could you not resist this gorgeous harem knowing you are so kissable?
