Product Description

 
After learning to play guitar and sing during a stint in the Big House, a minor-league punk kid becomes a rock star, with a little help from a beautiful agent. But the pressures of fame wear him down. Considered by many to be Elvis Presley's best film because of its eerie narrative prescience, noirish setting, and quality songs, especially the poolside performance of "You're So Square."

Jailhouse Rock (1957)

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2000
Review: "Jailhouse Rock" is probably Elvis Presley's best film. He plays an ex-convict struggling to becoming a star as a pop singer. His business partner and would-be girlfriend is Judy Tyler. Presley's character achieves fame and fortune as a recording...

Maximum Elvis

Date of Review:  Aug 16, 2002
The Bottom Line: Watch "Jailhouse Rock" and your only question is, is there any way Elvis Presley could NOT have become a movie star?
Review: If you've ever seen "Jailhouse Rock," you'll never again question Why Elvis Matters. Banish all thoughts of the bloated Vegas headliner and behold the young, genuinely dangerous Presley, circa 1957, sneering his way through his third movie role. In...

It's Just the Beast in Me

Date of Review:  Feb 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: Jailhouse Rock is The King's best film. I know that's not saying much considering how bad most of his films are, but this really is a good movie.
Review: When Elvis and his swiveling hips first burst onto the nationwide scene in 1956, many parents were horrified. Here's this leering, yowling ruffian making suggestive moves on stage and stirring up nasty thoughts in our daughters' minds, they thought...

Professional Reviews

  (09/01/2007, p.158, Kim Newman): "[T]he classic title track gets a terrific, swivel-hipped staging and swagger in which everybody in the old cell block really is dancing to the jailhouse rock."
