_**Elvis as a G.I. stationed in Germany trying to score with a hot German nightclub dancer**_
An American tank specialist serving in Deutschland (Presley) dreams of running his own nightclub and bets that he can win the favor of a hard-to-get German performer with legs from here to Frankfurt (Juliet Prowse). Robert Ivers is on hand as the protagonist’s soldier pal.
“G.I. Blues” (1960) was Elvis’ 5th movie of the 31 in his acting filmography. The highlights here are the German locations, the tank action and Juliet Prowse, especially her two sizzling dance routines. Letícia Román (Tina) and Sigrid Maier (Marla) are also featured in the feminine department.
While this is one of the more obscure Presley flicks, it has its own uniqueness and delivers the goods as an entertaining Elvis vehicle.
The film runs 1 hour, 44 minutes, and was shot in Germany (Hessen & Barvaria) and Paramount Studios, Los Angeles.
GRADE: B-/B
