Stay Away, Joe (1968)
not very good
This movie is not very good.In fact, it is the worst Elvis movie I have seen.It has very little plot,mostly partying,beer drinking and fighting. Burgess Meredith and Thomas Gomez are wasted. I don't know why they did this movie.You could say Elvis was wasted as well,he is much,much better in "Follow That Dream."
The Old Corral (1936)
A good Autry movie
This is a good Gene Autry movie.This movie has a young Roy Rogers in it.He plays a good (bad) character.He is part of a singing group called " The O'keefe Brothers" (The Son's of the Pioneers) and they provide some very good songs in the movie.Gene and Hope Manning also sing some songs.It has a pretty good plot to it as well.Smiley Burnett displays his musical ability and his comedy ability.It has a very short fight scene between Gene and Roy(guess who wins?).All in all an enjoyable movie.
Follow That Dream (1962)
good comedy
Follow That Dream is one of my favorite Elvis movies.He proves he could have been good at light comedy.This is a fun,good natured role for Elvis.There is comedy,romance and Elvis music.If you like this combination,you will like this movie.
The Front Page (1974)
Inferior remake
This movie is an inferior remake of "His Girl Friday".I found it to be unfunny and laced with profanity.Where is Cary Grant when you need him? I like Jack Lemmon (see "The Apartment")but not in this movie.I also like Carol Burnett,but she misses the mark this time.The sex of the characters that Jack Lemmon and Susan Sarandon portray are flipped in this movie.I think the characters were funnier and ahead of their time in "His Girl Friday".
King of the Cowboys (1943)
Good Roy western
If you like Roy, you will like this movie.It has a good story line about sabotage and Roy's under cover work to capture the saboteurs.Roy also sings some songs.Smiley Burnett does his usual fine act as a funny sidekick.I was surprised to see Gerald Mohr as a "BAD GUY" in a western.The movies and T.V.I have seen him in he usually plays a sophisticated type of character.If you don't blink your eyes,you will see Eddie Dean as a policeman who has been tied up in his patrol car.
