The best of the first Presley´s. Good idea to situate him in the birth of jazz New Orleans, working in Bourbon stree to make a living between hudlums, hustlers, an d a stubborn father (Jagger) who doesn't understand Tennessee Williams

Description: Having flunked graduation for a second time and needing cash to support his crabby, unemployed father, Danny Fisher takes a job as a singer in the King Creole nightclub - about the only joint around not run by smarmy crook Maxie Fields who wants him for his own place. Danny gets on pretty well with Fields' girlfriend though. All this, plus his involvement with Fields' hoods and with innocent five-and-dime store assistant Nellie, means Danny finds his world closing in on him all ways round.
