Plot: This musical boxing drama finds Walter (Elvis Presley) as a recently discharged soldier looking forwork in New York's Catskill Mountains. He happens across Grogan's Gym, a boxing emporium that helps perfect the gentle art. Proprioter Willie Grogan (Gig Young) and trainer Lew (Charles Bronson) run the camp for aspiring pugilists. Walter saves Grogan's long suffering girlfriend Rose (Joan Blackman) from an assault by a gangster when he knocks out the goon. He earns the nickname Kid Galahad and a chance to show off his talents in the boxing ring. While Walter trains for the big fight, Lew is approached by unsavory gamblers, who want Lew to be lax in repairing any cuts Walter sustains in the ring for a slice of the economic pie. Lew refuses and has his hands broken by the gambling goons. Although Walter knows the fix is on, he battles his way to victory against overwhelming odds and an intimidating opponent. Walter exacts revenge on the men who broke Lew's hands, which may be the first and only time in cinematic history that Charles Bronson needs any outside help. Presley delivers seven songs, the most memorable being I Got Lucky. United Artists got lucky with the release of Kid Galahad, which drew legions of loyal Presley fans at the box office. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Excellent movie from when they allowed Elvis to act. He had great presence and deserved better than the beach blanket types he was later forced to perform in.

Elvis vs Bronson
Added 10/27/2008

Years ago, I read that according to Elvis' pals the Memphis mafia, Presley and co-star Charles Bronson did not get along well on the set of this film. I won't mention the specifics out of respect for both legendary performers, but basically, it seemed to be a personality clash between the young, fun loving Elvis and the older, more serious and taciturn Bronson. Watching the film, you feel like there is an almost brotherly bond between Presley as the title charactor, and tough guy Bronson as his tough but sensitive trainer. The sources I read stated that this is made possible mainly by Bronson's stalwart professionalism. Of course, it's a two-way process, and Elvis' performance in this semi-serious drama shows he was a better actor then most folks gave him credit for

Kid Galahad - Elvis

Okay! It's a cheesy Elvis film but I saw it in the movie theater as a child and always loved it when it was rerun on TV. It contains one of my all-time favorite songs "Home Is Where The Heart Is". I bought the 45 sized 33&1/3 rpm soundtrack soon after seeing it in the movies and wore the grooves off it. So, it is an inexpensive blast from the past. Rudy Lobo

First Elvis movie I ever saw at the downtown cimena.
Great performances by Elvis and Charles Bronson.
With a few songs sung by Elvis.
However, the ending was kind of flat.
