    I’m a little surprised that King Creole ended up being our only Elvis movie. I though there were more fans of his here.

    Elvis movies are fun, but nothing "greatest" or best IMO.

    Laughton should have directed more films. I love this movie. It's a haunted, noirish fairy-tale by way of German Expressionism/Surrealism. What could be better?

    And this scene...

    ...is perfect.
