It Happened at the World's Fair jumps ahead five years, the Elvis formula set. Location shooting at the futuristic Seattle World's Fair of 1962 lends a quirky backdrop, and check out the young Kurt Russell (future inhabitor of the Elvis persona) kicking the King in the shins. Viva Las Vegas is the other consensus classic: EP plays a race-car driver waiting tables in Sin City, sparking big time with Ann-Margret. The two stars generate some heat, and the theme song has inspired many a road trip. No such trip will be inspired by Harum Scarum, a mad comedy set in the Middle East. Elvis is kidnapped while touring, and a lame spoof of Rudolph Valentino movies ensues.
It's back to the race track for the remaining pair. Spinout places the King in the direct path of three marriage-minded women, but he prefers his car and his guitar. Dumb plot, but the songs at least are agreeably rocking. Speedway has a slimmed-down Elvis and a groovy nightclub hangout, plus the ineffable Nancy Sinatra--there's some terrific kitsch value in this one. --Robert Horton

Customer Reviews of Elvis Presley - The Signature Collection (It Happened at the World's Fair / Speedway / Spinout / Harum Scarum / Jailhouse Rock / Viva Las Vegas)
Elvis Presley's Signature DVD Collection It Happened at the World's Fair is my favorite movie starring Elvis Presley. It took me a long time to collect this particular movie. The other movies in this collection are very good.
JAILHOUSE ROCK? A 5.... the rest.....??? silencio
With King Creole, Love Me Tender and Stay Away Joe - JAILHOUSE ROCK 1957 is Elvis Presley at his best. He declined the old musical tradition of MGM and insisted on a contemparary look - especially how the choreography should be executed.

>In this film we see ELVIS PRESLEY at his very best. He was a stunning actor - much more prefer HIM to James Dean... It`s a shame he made more or less 33 forgettable films.... only a handful stands out and JAILHOUSE ROCK is the best. It isn`t a classic - it isn`t even great. But we have ELVIS - the KING - and that`s the best there is:-)))
go elvis go
come on guys its Elvis Presley, the cat that changed it all. Dont buy this disk set just cause its all nice & fancy or not so fancy .. buy this disk set out of respect for the southern floppin blue shoes that gave back more then he spent on himself. Everyone buys a house, everyone buys a car & everyone brags about what they have but Elvis like his music belongs in a class all by himself. Not everyone takes what he has & gives it away every cotten picken day that is till you meet the one & only Elvis Presley.

>Check out his 1968 comback specail & you tell me when did you ever see a mega star sit so close & personal with his fans & treat his fans not as fans but family. Its amazing when you look at today to glance at a man that didn't see himself as untouchable as many would in the same situation as Elvis Presley. That my friend makes Elvis Presley pure Elvis & why no other artist has ever touched his fans not cause they couldnt but simply cause they didn't know how or feel that one on one connection as Elvis felt.Many have tamed the fame of Elvis only to fall down, many have gained world success only to togo so far to lose that connection as success gives us that power to foget about the little things that made that success. In all my days, no one has ever walked the steps of Elvis Presley & maybe someday we will once again be taken by ones pashion as we have come to know through Elvis Presley. Buy this DVD set & respect Elvis as Elvis & dont label this disk set as another Tom Parker method to make money. Its your day tobe Elvis Presley & not Tom Parkey so I ask you to slip on those blue shoes & rock rock rock.
