This is one of my favorites. It is great to see it again. Who needs Rocky? The girl is the same one from Blue Hawaii. WHat ever happened to her? Poor Charles Bronson's hands - unforgettable!

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
Added 2/24/2008
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.
