    • Quotes

      Prof van Alden's Male Party Guest #1: I think Stubby's gone overboard with those altered chords, don't you?

      Prof van Alden's Female Party Guest #1: I agree. I think Brubeck and Desmond have gone just as far with dissidents as I care to go.

      Prof van Alden's Male Party Guest #2: Oh, nonsense! Have you heard Lennie Tristano's latest recording? He reached outer space!

      Prof van Alden's Female Party Guest #2: Someday they make the cycle and get back to pure old Dixieland.

      Prof van Alden's Female Party Guest #3: I say atonality is just a passing phase in jazz music. What do you think Mr. Everett?

      Vince Everett: Lady, I don't know what the hell you're talkin' about.

    Presley's best movie

    Perhaps Presley's best movie. It casts him as a young hothead serving a jail sentence for manslaughter.Released from jail he makes it big in the music-business.The sudden success goes to his head and alienates his best friends. Elvis delivers a very magnetic performance with the aid of director Thorpe's skilled handling.Judy Tyler's performance is also very good.The movie's sour tone makes it stand out in comparison with the later Presley vehicles.The famous production number of the title tune is a smash. Rating: ***1/2 of *****
