Movie Reviews of Kid Galahad
Movie Review: Elvis at His Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Released in Europe two yeas ago, what took MGM so long to release this Elvis classic to North America? They say that Elvis always wanted to get a chance to do some serious acting and his performance in "Kid Galahad" is as close to that chance as I think he ever got. Besides being fairly well acted the musical score for "Kid Galahad" although only six songs is also one of Elvis's best when it comes to his theatrical career.
Staring along side Joan Blackman who he acted with in "Blue Hawaii" and a small role in "Follow That Dream," Elvis handles his make believe role as a want to be boxer fairly well. Although he is known as an entertainer he almost makes the fight scenes in the movie look believable. One thing you will notice in this film is that Elvis's hair is its nature color, not that dyed jet-black look that he wore in most of his other jump around, chaotic made for the screen films. So if you want an entertaining film with an acceptable music score then take "Kid Galahad" home as a keeper
Summary of Kid Galahad
Immortal heartthrob Elvis Presley stars as Walter Gulick, an ex-G.I. who returns to his rustic hometown in upstate New York looking for work as an auto mechanic. Ambitious but naïve, he's reluctantlyroped into becoming a boxer by dubious manager-turned-innkeeper Willy Grogan (Oscar(r)-winner Gig Young, 'They Shoot Horses, Don't They,' 1969 Best Supporting Actor). With his loyal trainer Lew Nyack (screen legend Charles Bronson) at his side, the iron-jawed, anvil-fisted Elvis quickly becomes the top-drawing champion "Kid Galahad." But when the mob tries to muscle in on the action, the cool-headed fighter is forced to pull no punches in the ultimate bout to protect his honor and his dreams. Themesmerizing voice of Elvis, a romantic soundtrack, and breathtaking scenery makes this popular musical remake a knockout hit for the entire family.Similar DVD Movies
