Talk:King Creole

Please, let's rewrite this article in English, with the facts right
Of course, this being Wikipedia, someone who has control of an article has a major advantage over good faith contributors. However, "gangster that" is simply not proper grammar. So why did you change it back? That is only one small example of the poor text in this article about Elvis Presley's by-far best movie. In addition, a quick perusal of the plot yielded a number of easily correctible and fact-checkable, non-subjective errors, such Danny's actual reply to Miss (not Mrs.) Pearson, the quintessential old maid. Let's please write the best article we can, with proper grammar and a correct synopsis. All of my recent edits were needed and should be restored. Dstlascaux (talk) 15:28, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

sentence removed
This sentence had been in the article: "Because the more serious and gritty film strayed from the pretty scenery/pretty girls plotless formula that the legions of Presley fans wanted, it was less than a smash at the box office." - I removed it due to historical inaccuracy. While this observation may hold merit regarding Presley's garrulous series of 'Elvis movies' in the 1960s, in the 1950s those hadn't happened yet, and his four films from 1956 to 1958 were serious attempts, and taken as such by audiences at the time. The formula pictures came later.PJtP 00:56, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Elvis as a serious actor
The article states that Presley never got the chance to be taken seriously as an actor again because of his post-army films. But what about the film Charro, which was a tough western where not only did he have a beard but also did no singing as part of the action? (79.190.69.142 (talk) 21:44, 3 January 2010 (UTC))


 * The article states that he never got to be taken as seriously as an actor again, not that he was never taken seriously again. Of course he was with films such as Flaming Star, Wild in the Country, Charro!, and Change of Habit. However, none of these films are anywhere near as serious as King Creole and I think many would agree that the quality of his acting in King Creole was never matched on screen again.

Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin
There is no verifiable evidence that either, or both, of these persons are in the film. USColonialHistorian (talk) 15:04, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
