| Synopsis Presley plays Danny Fisher, a young, tough musician making his way in New Orleans. Matthau plays Maxie Fields, a kingpin of organized crime in the city, with Carolyn Jones as Ronnie, a call girl with limited prospects and Delores Hart as Nellie Elvis' Love Intrest. With its aspects of film noir, its relatively realistic depiction of the mix of poverty and ambition, and in the unsentimental relationships between the three principal characters. Most critics cite this as Presley's best film, and best acting performance. |
