VIVA LAS VEGAS

George Sidney | 1964 | 85 MINS
USA
A race car driver (Elvis Presley) wiles away his time in Las Vegas working as a waiter to pay for his new engine and soon strikes up a romance with a beautiful young woman.

In Detail

Musically gifted race car driver Lucky Jackson wants to score enough money for a new car motor so he can win the Grand Prix. When he encounters sexy swimming instructor Rusty (Ann-Margret), he considers staying around longer.

After Lucky loses his winnings in the hotel pool, he's forced to remain in Vegas long enough to win back his dough - but now he also wants to win Rusty's heart. Unfortunately, so does his slick racing enemy Elmo (Cesare Danova). Next to ‘Jailhouse Rock’, this is one of Elvis Presley's finest films, and is a rare Elvis movie in which he is not just complemented, but also challenged, by a song-and-dance co-star of comparable sexual energy and anatomical expressiveness.
