Plot: Not a remake of the 1934 Helen Morgan vehicle of the same title, Frankie and Johnny stars Elvis Presley as Johnny, a Mississippi gambler, and Beverly Hillbillies regular Donna Douglas as his girl friend Frankie. In keeping with the old ballad, the romance of Frankie and Johnny is threatened by the intervention of seductress Nellie Bly (Nancy Kovack). Nellie brings Johnny luck at the gaming tables while Frankie sees red. Frankie and Johnny was written by onetime Marx Brothers contributor Nat Perrin and directed by future Tonight Show helmsman Fred de Cordova. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Not his finest hour: he's doing you wrong
Added 1/8/2009
This movie is kind of an Elvis version of Showboat which is a classical
musical.
The result of them making Elvis Presley in to a contract worker who
stars every year or so with a new different starlet was that he got really
pretty bored. It shows a lot in his performances here:
the zest is gone and what is left is just work in
front of a camera. He must of felt like a piece of meat
sold to the highest bidder.
This picture is about all that is wrong about the contract star system in Hollywood. Sure they get famous and rich, but the soul sold is forever gone.

I returned this Elvis Movie TWICE because you sent me a VHS tape and I specifically asked for a DVD. I have gotten one from another source now, so I won't be ordering this one again. Even when I had re-ordered it over the phone they didn't get it right. No problem.
