with Lizabeth Scott
In the first of three films starring the great rock idol, Elvis plays a young hillbilly singer hired by press agent Glenda Markle as a 'gimmick' to boost the waning popularity of Tex Warner's cowboy band. But Elvis proves a sensation - drawing a parallel with his own phenomenal impact and success.
