Loving You (1957) was Elvis' second movie and his only one of the 1950s to be shot in colour.
Elvis plays Deke Rivers, an orphaned truck driver who becomes a nationwide singing sensation in a very short space of time. The phenomenal reaction of the fans to his stage performances, the jealous boyfriends, the finger-wagging older generation, the pushy manipulative manager...all this was a mirror-image of what happened to him in real life.
He looks magnificent, particularly in jeans and with his newly-dyed jet black hair. The songs are mostly strong...hard rockers like Party and Got A Lot O' Living To Do, the gentle rocker 'Teddy Bear' and the ballad title track.
Lizabeth Scott as his manager puts in an excellent performance. A film noir veteran of the 1940s, this was her swansong, as the powers that be couldn't abide her lifestyle.
Trivia : In the closing number, Elvis' parents Gladys and Vernon can be clearly seen in the audience. Elvis exchanges a meaningful glance with his mom as he dances past her. Sadly, Elvis could never bring himself to watch this movie again after she died just a year later.
