- This item is in its original packaging Description If you’re really going to pursue your Elvis obsession, you must watch Jailhouse Rock, the 1957 biographical hit and Elvis Presley’s best film according to Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide. "The King" plays Vince Everett, who has received a prison sentence for manslaughter after a bar brawl. In prison, he uses his talents to learn to sing, and when he is paroled, he fights his way back up and achieves success as a musician and film star. Six Presley songs written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller help give the story pace, including Treat Me Nice, I Wanna Be Free, and the rousing title song, which was Presley’s own favorite among all the songs he had sung in his films. "It’s the beast in me," Presley says, after he has kissed Peggy (Judy Tyler). Yes, but it’s also his best! Region code Edition Running time in minutes 92 Year of production 1957
