JAILHOUSE ROCK ('57) was MGM's attempt at scrapping Elvis' nice guy image to create a rebel persona more in line with the James Dean in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE ('55) or Marlon Brando in THE WILD ONE ('54). Of all the Elvis films, this might be his finest song showcase, featuring first-rate rock 'n roll numbers by two masters of the form, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. | Turner Classic Movies: TCM
