Elvis Presley - Scene from "Jailhouse Rock" (MGM 1957)
Фильм және анимация
55 years ago today, on November 8th, 1957, Elvis' third movie "Jailhouse Rock" opened nationwide. On Variety's National Box Office Survey it appears at #3 and becomes the fourteenth most successful film of 1957 and pretty impressive if you keep in mind that it started at the end of the year. " By 1969, the film's box office gross in the United States and Canada was similar to that of "The Wizard of Oz". In 2004, "Jailhouse Rock" was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.
Vince Everett becomes arrested by a society that has nothing to do with the changes that are going on in the younger generation. He leaves jail as a transformed young man seeking his own way in expressing himself through his music. Doing this he's faced with many problem ranging from recording industry matters to lack of understanding by his parent generation.
In this scene Vince joins his manager/girl-friend Peggy who's visiting a party at her parent's house. The people there obviously don't know what to think of Elvis and what he's doing. They're trying to get him involved into a conversation about music but on both sides there's a lack of understanding for each other's position. The only change in music they can imagine is actually a setback to Dixieland. They're instead discussing jazz music and things like atonality, something to which Vince only can reply: "Lady, I don't know that the hell you're talkin' about..." making the generation gap obvious.
When accused of insulting her family and friends by Peggy the only thing Vince can possibly answer is a quote that has become famous over the years: "Honey, that's just the beast in me..." Something untamed, different from what was possible until now. Youth was starting to go its own way. A new age was about to dawn...
"Hearing Elvis for the first time was like busting out of jail." - Bob Dylan

Hello Margaret
This is my favorite of Elvis' films. I read he could never see this film much after it was made because his costar, Judy Tyler was tragically killed with her husband in a car accident. Elvis was very heartbroken because the two had become close during filming.

It's been told that ELVIS was so distraught with the death of Judy Tyler, that he was unable to attend the movie premier. 6-25-22
I love this scene where he said, "That ain't tactics, honey. That's just the beast in me." Perfect.
He is truly beautiful
It's 2014. & he's dead. He still manages to make me weak over a line he said years before I was even thought about being born!

Imani, I was a fan when Elvis was still with us, and still am today. Thanks to the communications technology we have now, it is much better today being an Elvis fan. Anything he ever did I can find on KZread. If I wanted to see "Jailhouse Rock" in the 1970s, I had to wait for it to show up on TV.

you make a very wise comment....back then, you could only see his films in the theater when they were brand new, and then after that only when they were shown on one of the three television networks....there was no home video, no internet, no cable TV, and only the very rich had home movie projectors with sound and could rent films ......

Cool Elvis! He's a good actor too. I love these short movie clips, especially when he sings in them. ❤🆒️🎼🎧👏
Both stars were excellent in this movie and complement each other beautifully. Elvis was the complete opposite in real life . A true star gracious and polite with his fans and acquaintances. He is truly the greatest entertainer of all time . Over 30 plus films 1860 plus concerts number one recording artist of all time all by the age of 42! He had it all talent and looks even until the end sick and bloated still held his own in my opinion.
I wish I was born at the time when he was rocking the world with his twist.....
The coolest scene ever 😎
ELvis was the man
That's just the beast in me! Wow, what woman can resist that!
Oh my GOSH 🔥 ELVIS beutiful beutiful beutiful man 😍❤️

I don't know how many people realize this Elvis was so great at playing a rebel he never gets the credit for this movies like this Loving You King Creole flaming star wild in the country Kid Galahad always showed Elvis could play and tough kids very well never gets the credit he deserves for his acting Jailhouse Rock is a brilliant movie and he plays a rebel kid very very well as sullen youth with an attitude James Dean Marlon Brando Paul Newman who have played such roles could not have played the role Elvis played in Jailhouse Rock any better forget the music his acting was fabulous in this film he could have easily played on the waterfront the wild one the defiant ones cat on the Hot Tin Roof Thunder Road any movies of rebellious shoes in the late fifties early sixties Elvis could have done Jailhouse Rock is a full star musical drama and the films that I just mention of the actors got cuz his colonel turn to Parts down Elvis had to look Talent charisma and potential to do so much more as an actor too bad could opaka managed his career he was good in the beginning is first five or six years but after that Elvis was ruined he took the Elvis from his roots what achievements more without the colonel the potential has been show that Elvis could really act on more than three or four occasions Elvis was the best at playing Rebel he needed more parts like this God bless Elvis multi-talented man so great when he was young Jailhouse Rock one of the best films of the 50s greatly acted

what you say is correct, but the problem was that the films with dramatic roles made MUCH less profit than the musical comedies....so both the Colonel AND EP decided to stop the dramatic films after 1962,,,,,until he did do two last dramas at the end of his film career. Charro and Change of Habit....and both of them made little profit....Colonel Parker was right, it seems
Great acting, great movie, and fantastic song (Jail house rock). I liked him more the Beatles, and I had wasn't even of his generation, his music was much livelier!❤❤

the Beatles were good, but they were the first to admit that they were not on his level....there's a video here on youtube where Paul McCartney says "We did our first record by backing up another singer. But after we became world famous as the Beatles, there is only one singer that we would have ever been the backing band for. And that is Elvis."

ELVIS never had acting classes, Dean, Brando and others did. ELVIS had pure talent in anything he did, and they couldn't stand it.
Turns on his heels towards her...."You ain't gonna hate me. I ain't gonna let you hate me." Love that look on his face with those bedroom eyes. 2:43 Yes, Cait, indeed....Its now 2017 and he is STILL dead and he manages to make ME weak over a line he said years ago. What IS it with this guy? The only man who has been dead 40 years and can still take your breath away.

This reveals how well Elvis could act it would have been great to see him in more serious movies. I like the musicals as corney as some were.
Classic! The KING did some pretty good acting. Because in real life he was just the opposite of the hood he portrays here.

1950s Elvis was so cool nobody played Rebel better than Elvis James Dean Marlon Brando they couldn't touch it Elvis when it came to playing the rebel too bad he did not get more chances to play this kind of tough sullen character he was so good at it he was great at playing the tough guy his early movies demonstrate this any of James Dean and Marlon Brando roles Elvis could have definitely have done but Randall and Dean would be lost in a recording studio Elvis was an underrated actor who didn't always get those scripts he deserve but he did make at least 10 great movies flaming star Loving You Jailhouse Rock King Creole wild in the country Kid Galahad it's such an underrated actor very talented and this is a classic scene Elvis was the best at playing the rebel
Judy Tyler was so gorgeous

Judy Tyler died July 2, 1957 cutting short a promising career in films and perhaps more dramatic roles in television. Her appearance in a Perry Mason episode was kept on the shelf for almost six months until it was aired on Dec 28th.
2022! Hey Elvis, we see you!
Ce genre de scène lui va tellement bien. Avec son charisme et son jeu prometteur il aurait pu devenir un grand acteur.. Sans le colonel 😔
Elvis's great performance in this movie too. The actress is Judy Tyler, if I remember correctly. Thanks✌👑👼❤🌹
Elvis as good as Brando. Yes raw talent singing and acting. He should of won an academy award for Kid Cerol. And Love me Tender along with Change of Habit and even this movie. Most handsome ever.
At 2:52... OMG!
