Trivia

The title song, "Love Me Tender" was taken from the Civil War ballad "Aure Lea", written by W. W. Fosdick (words) and George R. Poulton (music). That song first appeared on the screen in 1936 sung by a Francis Farmer in "Come And Get It". It was adopted, almost from its' beginning, as the "school song" of The West Point Military Academy and was part of the soundtrack for Fine and Dandy and _The Long Grey Line (1954)_. See more »

Goofs

During the robbery of the payroll train, up the track in the direction of the train's travel, there are modern CTC block signals of the Southern Pacific Railroad which were installed in the 1930s (beyond the siding switch). Centralized Traffic Control for railroads did not exist in 1865, nor did the heavier rail on the right of way shown in the film (at least 100 pounds). See more »

the first Elvis movie ever
30 August 1999 | by See all my reviews

This was Elvis Presley first movie and although he never had acting lessons he is extremely well at his work. He is not great at the start but as the movie progresses his character gets tougher and so does Elvis' acting. Presley may be only third billed but he was the one put on the cover plus it was him that got people into the movies to see it and as it was the most successful film of 1956 it is worth a good few glances. It has some bad songs but not to many as the title song was a huge success. The story-line is also very good and one of the better Presley pictures.
