Jailhouse Rock
SMV 10011
Released on MGM/UA.
Small Box - Retail Tape
Jailhouse Rock added another multi-million selling song to Elvis' larger- than-life career. It is a fast paced story of hard loving and jealous emotions. Elvis plays Vince Everett, a man sent to prison for accidently killing a man in a broom fight. He takes up singing while behind bars - and when a beautiful woman gives him a break in records, he uses his aggressiveness and talent to succeed in music and movies.
Jailhouse Rock is the best remembered for its great songs, and for scenes that typify the Presley personality. One is the sexy love scene with young starlet Jennifer Holden. The other is the incredible Jailhouse Rock musical sequence, with all of blistering excitement and energetic dancing by the man who did it best.
