Lockout Theater: Elvis in LOVE ME TENDER (1956)

Elvis has entered the building. At 21 - same age as Anthony Volpe - he is third-billed in his first feature film. He sings four songs and gets the girl, Debra Paget. Also featuring Neville Brand. This movie is said to have recouped its costs after the first three days of release. Hence, The King was born. Here's the trailer. (And go to hell, MLB.)

Bigger star in 1956, the King or the Mick?
