Movie Reviews of Wild in the CountryMovie Review: Elvis....what more can I say? Summary: 5 StarsThis is an excellent movie. A few kissing scenes that will leave you absolutely breathless, and one of the funniest moments in the film is Elvis' drunken scene. He is just so silly in it, you can see his co-stars genuinely laughing at his antics! A must see for any Elvis fan! Also, a few very moving scenes in the movie, including the scene where Glenn (Elvis) was talking to Mrs. Sperry (Hope Lange) about the death of his Mother. You can see the intensity of this moment, as if Elvis were speaking of the death of his real Mother, Gladys. Elvis was a great actor as well as his beautiful singing voice. A very complex person with many facets. This film shows many facets of his character.
Summary of Wild in the CountryPossibly the sexiest of all of The King's movies, this film finds Elvis playing a backwoods delinquent blessed with great literary talents with Millie Perkins as his childhood sweetheart. Co-starring Tuesday Weld. Elvis plays a roughneck country boy, seething with hostility but gifted with literary talent. In the occasionally precious Clifford Odets script, this comes across as James Dean by way of a Thomas Wolfe novel--and not a bad shot at respectable acting by Elvis. His monologue about his dead mother, delivered to sympathetic shrink Hope Lange, is one of the most affecting things the King ever did in a movie. The songs are kept to a minimum, and Presley has some good, thrumming energy with the young Tuesday Weld (bad girl) and Millie Perkins (good girl), two uncommonly smart actresses. This is one of many Hollywood melodramas suggesting the angst brewing beneath the prosperity of the Eisenhower-Kennedy era, and it holds up decently, if not spectacularly. For Elvis fans, it's a poignant glimpse at a performer still in the young-buck stage of exciting possibilities. --Robert Horton
