Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
After Elvis Presley got out of the army in 1960, he was instantly ushered into G.I. Blues, a Paramount movie about an Oklahoma singer who (surprise) gets out of the army and wants to open a club. Making a potentially lucrative bet that he can seduce a cabaret singer (Juliet Prowse), Elvis instead falls in love. Leaving behind his rockabilly roots for a slicker image better suited to early 60s pop, the Elvis of this movie is the one who made almost 30 more just like it. The songs include "G.I. Blues", "It's Not Good Enough for You," "Tonight Is So Right for Love" and "Wooden Heart". It's directed by Norman Taurog, a studio veteran who made his first film in 1928 and worked many times with Presley. --Tom Keogh

GI Blues was Elvis first post-army flick, and is a million miles away from King Creole.
That is not necessarilly a bad thing, as this easy going musical romp features some nice tunes, good acting and some very fun scenes.
Check out the scene where Tulsa (Elvis) and his band are singing in a bar, and a German soldier says 'I'd rather hear the real thing.' He promptly puts Elvis' 'Blue Suede Shoes' on the jukebox, resulting in a fight.
This is a fun film, not near Elvis beat, but very good and enjoyable.

Elvis takes part in a bet to raise enough money to open a nightclub when he gets out of the army. The wager - He has to spend a whole night with Juliet Prowse, a nightclub dancer (good dance routine)who is "icy" within and "hot" without. As things turned out Elvis falls in love with her but watch out for the baby sitting bit and the lullaby - quite a different routine!

G.I Blues? Not with this pair.
Elvis Presley and Juliet Prowse really light up the screen with this production and the songs really help the film along. Read more

Great film - Elvis' best?
This was the first film I saw when courting - giving my age away. I've always believed it to be the best of Elvis' films, and have enjoyed watching it again.
