Your Classic Movie Poster of the Day


The 1958 movie starring Elvis Presley, Carolyn Jones and Walter Matthau.  Originally written for James Dean, it was shelved when he died in 1955.  The film was revived in 1957 after a successful off broadway run, Hal Wallis suggested they use the young superstar Elvis Presley in the title role and change it from a boxer in New York City to a singer in New Orleans.  Elvis got a deferment for his enlistment in the US Army to film this in New Orleans.
The soundtrack produced the #1 Elvis classic "Hard Headed Woman"
