Elvis Presley Poster # 5 publicity still for “Viva Las Vegas” 1964 MGM Movie

Description

Elvis Aaron Presley (Jan 8, 1935 – Aug 16, 1977), also known mononymously as Elvis, was an American singer and actor. Known as the “King of Rock and Roll”, he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. Presley’s energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, brought both great success and initial controversy.

Viva Las Vegas is a 1964 American rock and roll musical film, with auto racing thrown in, directed by George Sidney, choreographed by David Winters, and starring Elvis Presley, Ann-Margret, Cesare Danova, William Demarest. Set in Las Vegas, Nevada, the film tells about two competing race car drivers who also compete for the same girl.

The film’s theme song “Viva Las Vegas” (written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman) did well on the year’s record sales and has since become a theme song for the titular city.

The film is regarded by Elvis fans and film critics as one of Presley’s best films, and it is noted for the real-life on-screen chemistry between Presley and Ann-Margret.
