Starring : Gig Young, Lola Albright, Joan Blackman, Ned Glass and Charles Bronson
Directed by Phil Karlson
Plot: Walter Gulick (Elvis Presley), who has just returned from the army, first becomes a training partner in a boxing camp, then becomes a professional boxer himself. His promoter, Will Grogan (Gig Young), is being blackmailed by gangsters who want to favor another boxer and turk the fight. Walter defeats the gangsters, wins against his boxing opponent, and eventually defeats Rose Grogan (Joan Blackman), his promoter’s sister.Remake of a 1937 Michael Curtiz film. At the end of 1962, this film was ranked the 37th best film by Billboard. In any case, the strong cast and the extensive preparation that Elvis completed in the form of a few boxing lessons is remarkable.
