This is the Movie That Killed Elvis’s Career
It was March of 1960. The teenagers of the world were rejoicing. Why? Because Elvis was getting out of the army. Yes, Elvis “the Pelvis” Presley, rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest rebel iconoclast, was finally leaving the U.S. military and taking up his career as the sneering, hip-swiveling rock ‘n’ roller. Elvis’ film career was foremost in the minds of his fans, right along with his music.
Before leaving to serve his stint in Germany, Elvis had made four films, each one fairly good, each one demonstrating a definite talent, a screen charisma, and a very real potential for Elvis’ real dream as a performer- to become a respected actor, like his supreme idol, James Dean.
But once Elvis made this movie, his acting career seemed to hit a serious bump in the road. Find out what movie killed Elvis’s career!
