Plot Summary
"Everybody, let's rock!" Rock'n'roll legend Elvis Presley makes his feature film debut in this critically-acclaimed classic. While serving time for manslaughter, young Elvis is taught how to play the guitar by his cellmate. After winning over the hardened inmates with his musical talent, he's released and struggles to become a major recording star. But conflict arises when his cellmate demands a cut of the action. Considered by many to be the best of the Presley films, it features a golden collection of Elvis standards, including "Treat Me Nice" and the Elvis-choreographed inmate dance number, "Jailhouse Rock." With Dean Jones ("Clear and Present Danger," "The Love Bug") and Mickey Shaughnessy ("From Here to Eternity").

One of his best!!
This movie is in my top 5 list of Elvis movies. I remember watching this movie on TV (pre-cable) as a small child. I have Jailhouse Rock as my ring tone. Thank You iTunes.
"I'm gonna make you rich." -Elvis Presley
YES!!! I asked for it in my review for Love Me Tender. Thanx Itunes. This is one of my favorite Elvis movies.
Rockin' The Jail, Elvis
How can you not live this movie? I was alittle disappointed at first, when I found out it was in black and white. But as the movie progressed, it actually added to the experience.
