Lucky Jackson arrives in town with his car literally in tow ready for the first Las Vegas Grand Prix. First he has to come up with the money to buy an engine. Working as a waiter, he gets the cash easily enough. He still finds the time to court young Rusty Martin who is the pretty swimming pool manager. Lucky manages to mislay his funds and it seems he will lose both race and girl. His problems are complicated further when rival Elmo Mancini, a fellow racer and womaniser, enters the picture. Perhaps some singing will help.

Pretty Elvis-y. Good, as Elvis films go. submitted by lisa on July 28, 2022, 11:56am We do associate the older Elvis with Las Vegas, too, so there's that. A lot of the action (and singing and dancing) looks a little silly now. So will current pop culture later. And, heck, some does now. Eye of the beholder!

A Great Movie submitted by KidBlue on December 13, 2023, 1:15pm Ann Margaret was the only woman Elvis ever had as a costar that could match him. She brought out the best in him. This film is exciting and sexy. The music and the dancing - by both of them - is terrific.
