Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaElvis Presley refused to watch this movie because of Judy Tyler's tragic death in a car accident in Wyoming on July 3, 1957, three days after filming was completed.
- GoofsNo matter when, where, or under what circumstances, when Vince is singing, he always has the same backup group, so they all must have been serving prison sentences at the same time, been released at the same time, but gotten jobs at the first club before he tries out. They then apparently leave that job, so they can back him up when he cuts his first record.
- Quotes
Peggy Van Alden: [Vince aggressively kisses Peggy] How dare you think such cheap tactics would work with me!
[Vince again aggressively kisses Peggy]
Vince Everett: That ain't tactics, honey. It's just the beast in me.

Reactions to one of Elvis' best flicks
I heard a young woman who hadn't seen "Jailhouse Rock" before leaving the Parkway Theater here in Oakland say "I didn't expect it to be so sad." And yes, it's a pretty dark version of Elvis' own early life. To add to the dark shadow over this film, Elvis' lovely and tolented young co-star, Judy Tyler, died before this film was released (I believe it was a car accident, but I could be wrong). Elvis was pretty broke up about it, and so am I. Well, enough said, it's got the classic "Jailhouse Rock" number (often excerpted and included in TV retrospectives on Elvis), with some pretty smooth dance moves revealed by the often immobile Elvis. E really shines in this one; one of his best films.
