King Creole

Director: Michael Curtiz
Starring: Elvis Presley, Carolyn Jones, Walter Matthau, Dolores Hart, Dean Jagger, Vic Morrow and Paul Stewart

Having flunked graduation for a second time and needing cash to support his crabby, unemployed father, Danny Fisher takes a job as a singer in the King Creole nightclub - about the only joint around not run by smarmy crook Maxie Fields who wants him for his own place.

Danny gets on pretty well with Fields' girlfriend though. All this, plus his involvement with Fields' hoods and with innocent five-and-dime store assistant Nellie, means Danny finds his world closing in on him all ways round.
