"Speedway"

Steve Grayson (Elvis Presley) is a swinging racecar driver whose manager Kenny 
(Bill Bixby) has bethis money on the horses. Most of the horses didn't win, causing 
Steve to be visited by IRS agent SusanJacks (Nancy Sinatra). Gale Gordon plays 
Hepworth, her stuffy supervisor, and William Shallert has therole of Abel Esterlake, 
former racecar driver who helps Steve on the track. Steve engages in the stock-carraces
at the Charlotte Speedway to get back the money to keep him and his manager out of jail.
Presley delivers 11 songs, the most notable being "Let Yourself Go." Elvis by now was just 
playing out the innocuous string of movies that his musically insensitive, cigar-chomping manager
Colonel Tom Parker had contracted for him. Soon Elvis would undertake the most successful 
live comeback by any performer in history and leave these trashy features behind.

 


"It Happened At The World's Fair"

 
This Elvis Presley vehicle is close to a lemon, even for his die-hard fans. Elvis is Mike Edwards, a pilot of a small plane who has a faithful sidekick, Danny (Gary Lockewood), and a penchant for singing. The story, such as it is, takes place in-between a total of ten different songs, the most memorable being "One Broken Heart for Sale". Mike is tough on the outside but he is willing to take up a good cause when he finds Sue Lin (Vicky Tiu) temporarily abandoned at the Seattle Worlds Fair. Aside from Sue Lin, he also finds an attractive nurse who is not abandoned but might still need attention.
