Elvis Presley’s music lit a fire at the heart of American pop culture, and his electrifying screen presence—including his controversial televised gyrations—helped make him a legend. Elvis carried his natural magnetism into film acting, transmitting a brooding sexiness, sincerity, and rebel cool in the mold of James Dean and Marlon Brando. Highlights like the landmark rock musical JAILHOUSE ROCK (featuring the singer’s iconic rendition of the title song), Michael Curtiz’s noirish musical drama KING CREOLE (in which Elvis stepped into a role originally written for Dean), and the Clifford Odets–penned WILD IN THE COUNTRY show off his astonishing star charisma and raw dramatic ability.
