G.I. Blues
"I got the occupation G.I. Blues."
In Frankfurt, the G.I. Tulsa McLean bets all the money his friends Cookie and Rick and he are saving to buy a night-club of their own in USA that his mate Dynamite will seduce and spend a night with the untouchable cabaret dancer Lili. When Dynamite is transferred to Alaska, Tulsa has to replace him in the bet, but he falls for Lili and tries to call off the game. (Co-starring, Juliet Prowse)
One of my favorite Elvis films. This is the first film he did after returning from hsi service in the military. (If i am not mistaken) Here is a little tidbit about the king you may or may not have known - but Elvis never had any formal acting training. (true story)
My rating .... a solid 7 stars.

Follow That Dream
When the Kwimper family car runs out of gas on a new Florida highway
and an officous state supervisor tries to run them off, Pop Kwimper digs
in his heels and decides to do a little homesteading. He and his son
Toby and their "adopted" children - Holly, Ariadne and the twins - start
their own little community along a strip of the roadside. The fishing
is good and the living is easy until the mob sets up a gambling
operation and the state supervisor sics a sexy social worker on the
Kwimpers in an effort to take away Ariadne and the twins.
I am saying it here and now, Elvis doesn't nearly get the credit he deserves for his acting. Or for being funny. His is great at both in this one. It really is a hoot and Elvis does a fantastic job with comedy in this one.
My rating ... I give this one a solid 8 stars. For its time, I thought it was pretty darn good. You will too.
