DVD Reviews of Viva Las Vegas
DVD Review: Cute film, er, musical...
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm guessing this is the typical style of movies back then in the 60s which propel music stars into showbiz. I must say, for a film done during that period, this was particularly well made. Elvis Presley actually wasn't too bad. Ann Margaret is definitely talented (can sing, dance and act). It's even more entertaining to see that this film is a blatant excuse to sing a few songs and dance a few sequences. But I am a sucker for love stories, but it wasn't a bad use of an hour and twenty minutes of my time.The only thing I must confess to not liking what eventually happened to the Italian guy. How much more unapologetic can you get?
LEAP rating (each out of 5):
L (Language) - 4 (everything's in verse or song - mostly. pretty cleverly done)
E (Erotica) - 0 (n/a)
A (Action) - 2 (car race at the end was pretty interesting)
P (Plot) - 3 (there's the requisite love triangle and a horrible ending for one suitor)

Description of Viva Las Vegas
It's pretty tough to beat Jailhouse Rock in terms of sheer entertainment, but Elvis lovers are particularly fond of this 1964 hit. The Big E plays race-car driver Lucky Jackson, who arrives in Las Vegas for an upcoming Grand Prix race. Lucky's car needs a new engine, so he gets a waiter job at a casino and starts working his crooning charms on Rusty Martin (Ann-Margret). It's their on-screen chemistry that makes this flick a lot of fun; Presley never had a better costar than Ann-Margret, and their race-car romance is quintessential 1960s fluff. Then there are the songs, of course, including the snappy title tune, a rockin' rendition of Ray Charles's "What'd I Say?," and "The Yellow Rose of Texas." Viva Las Vegas is one of the Elvis movies that stands the test of time, when the legend was still at his peak. And if you're wondering if the King gets his car fixed in time to win the race, well, check out the movie to find out. --Jeff ShannonPop Music CDs
