Reviews for Jailhouse Rock
Review - Jailhouse Rock
It's pretty hard to root for Vince as Elvis plays him in this movie, or to figure out why Peggy or anybody else would like him.

| Description: | Elvis plays Vince Everett, a young man in prison for manslaughter resulting from a bar fight. His cellmate is Hunk, an old country-western singer who encourages him to become a singer. When Vince gets out, he teams up with Peggy (Judy Tyler), a promoter who helps him get his start. Once Vince becomes famous, he gets conceited and acts like a jerk to Peggy and everybody else. Hunk, now out of prison, decides to teach him a lesson by beating him up. Vince's throat is damaged, but when he recovers, he realizes what a jerk he's been to Hunk and Peggy. |
