Overview

Lucky Jackson arrives in town with his car literally in tow ready for the first Las Vegas Grand Prix - once he has the money to buy an engine. He gets the cash easily enough but mislays it when the pretty swimming pool manageress takes his mind off things. It seems he will lose both race and girl, problems made more difficult by rivalry from Elmo Mancini, fellow racer and womaniser.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A high-energy vehicle for Elvis's charisma, packed with musical numbers, racing sequences, and romantic comedy where the spectacle, and Ann-Margret's presence, matters far more than narrative coherence. It's pure escapist entertainment designed to dazzle rather than touch.
