G.I. Blues

I love this movie! This is actually one of my favorites. Who doesn’t love a man in uniform. Then when you have Elvis in uniform! Love the music, he is gorgeous and super charming. He was a great actor. It is just a feel good romantic movie.

this movie looks to be a back room recut,

My son loved it

I just stumbled upon this movie on TV while flipping through the channels three days ago and it was at the part where Elvis “saves” the puppet show for the children. I’d never seen it before (or any Elvis movie) but from the short clip I watched of it I wanted more.Unfortunately I did not grow up in the “Elvis era”. In fact, both of my parents were in their late teens when Elvis passed so I was not lucky enough to experience his glory while he was still alive. I’ve been a big fan of his music since I was old enough to walk but never really gave his movies a second thought (shame on me).I cannot yet vouch for his other films but hearsay is that they are mediocre and carry pretty much the same plot line for the majority of them. However so, this film is amazing. The quality and clarity of this digital copy is crisp and clarified in comparison to the TV version I stumbled upon.The movie is mostly modest and refreshing when it comes to romance and how different it is today and modernly in film. Elvis effortlessly makes you fall in love with him. And the music is pleasant and plentiful but not overwhelming. I love this movie!

Favorite Elvis movie!

Juliet Prowse provides the opposite sex in this 1960 flick. Just not a great effort and there are far better Elvis movies than this one.

I was a young girl when Elvis rose to stardom! Oh my! Elvis' first performance on Ed Sullivan show - the camera was only allowed to film him from the waist up! I attended two of his live performances, and even my mother swooned! GI Blues, oh baby! "Elvis Aron Presley entered the United States Army at Memphis, Tennessee, on March 24, 1958... and received his discharge from the Army Reserve on March 23, 1964." One year after I graduated high school! My generation grew up with Elvis... the boys dressed like Elvis when he was off stage. Elvis movies are a wonderful walk down memory lane... His voice, his moves, his love of our country, his family, and he loved our Lord. Elvis Presley will never be forgotten! We love you, Elvis, and always will.

Movie looks and sounds great on DVD. For those fans who got tired of Elvis "Light Hollywood Musicals" and just waited for something to happen...and happen it did on December 3rd, 1968..can look back at even the weakest of these vehicles and say, it's really not bad and there are 3-4 good songs and Elvis....is Elvis!This 1960 effort had to be a "down" experience for Elvis, whose previous movie was the exceptionally strong King Creole, filmed on location and featuring a dynamite cast, nice black and white cinematography, mostly terrific songs (albeit 3 too many); here, too, we have "location" shots..but Elvis was not there.He was probably happy about that, as he had expressed around 1958 that he would not accept a post in Entertainment Services but a post any soldier would be assigned to.This reviewer assumes that the furthest thing from Elvis' mind in '58 would be making a tired, obvious "Service Comedy" upon his return.This movie has alot going for it, production numbers professional (though curiously rsique on the Prowse numbers) - plus the songs actually fit the flow of the picture > but the script is almost devoid of humour, and any chance to challenge the 25 year old star goes right out the window. Problem: the writers, powers-that-be, had to make "Tulsa" so likeable that the romantic interest, juliet Prowse, was never REALLY mad at him for using their date as leverage in a bet. No dramatic tension...just, shucks, isn't he the most!Along these lines, and as in many of Presley's flicks, the viewer does not need a Degree in Cinema to see that certain scenes that should have been done over. Elvis is great in one scene...almost amateurish in the next. All that matters is that Elvis is handsome and has a good beat.But since it all comes down to Elvis, he looks great, is engaged, and sings his brains out. On one beat ballad, an operatic rewrite, "Tonight is So Right For Love", his range is astonishing. This one, and several others, would have souned just fine on the King Creole soundtrack!Overall, recommended for Elvis across the board - that new "family" demographic for the superstar; for those '50s only fans, note that Sun Records associate Scotty Moore is heard throughout on the soundtrack.Finally, the military theme works well and has traveled nicely through the many decades.

Elvis Presley and Juliet Prowse really light up the screen with this production and the songs really help the film along. The contrast between the throbbing "Frankfurt Special" and the laid back "Daddy Big Boots", the title track and "Wooden Heart" just shows how versetile Elvis is as a singer. "Did'ya Ever Have One Of Those Days"? Then make yourself a coffee,sit down, put your feet up and enjoy. If this is not already in your collection then it shoild be. GET IT WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

Unfortunately this DVD kept sticking, this does not happen with any other DVD

So dated and that was its charm. The songs were not as well performed as they were, later but it was interesting to see Elvis so "untouched" and so much "in the pink" of his youth! After seeing it I googled Judith Prowse and Elvis, to see how they had interacted.They had! Is worth seeing, though, for its hilariously loose plot.

This DVD arrived on time and in good condition. This was, is and always will be a wonderful classic Elvis movie. If you like Elvis you will love this one. I am not a big Elvis fan but I love this movie

Had to have this to go with my collection
