Review - G. I. Blues

There wasn't much of a plot. Singing soldier takes bet he can spend the night with dancing girl, falls for her, tries to get out of the bet and ... they get married. There wasn't even a moment when it looked like she was going to dump him. But at least Elvis seemed to take his acting in this early movie seriously. I've never been a fan of Prowse, and nothing in this movie made me change my mind. The songs were ... I forget already.
