King Creole is a 1958 musical drama film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Elvis Presley, Carolyn Jones, and Walter Matthau. The story follows Danny Fisher (Elvis Presley), a rebellious young man who drops out of high school and works as a busboy in a nightclub in New Orleans. Danny dreams of becoming a singer and songwriter.
One night, Danny gets the opportunity to perform at the nightclub, and he catches the attention of the sultry femme fatale Ronnie (Carolyn Jones) and the tough-talking Maxie Fields (Walter Matthau), the owner of a local nightclub called The Blue Shade. Maxie sees potential in Danny as a performer and offers him a job singing at his club.
However, Danny's refusal to work for Maxie causes tension between them, and he quickly finds himself caught between the rival gangs of Maxie and his rival, Charlie LeGrand. As Danny's star rises, he becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of love and power, and his loyalty and integrity are put to the test.
With a rocking soundtrack featuring hits like "Trouble", "Hard Headed Woman", and "Don't Ask Me Why", King Creole showcases Elvis Presley's talent as a musician and actor. The film was a critical and commercial success, and is often cited as one of Presley's best films.
