Elvis stars as Danny Fisher, a high school dropout who must find a way to support both himself and his unemployed father. The film follows Fisher’s journey as he gets involved with crime and later becomes a singer at a nightclub. However, trouble looms when the nightclub owner, Maxie Fields, played by Walter Matthau, offers Fisher a deal he can’t refuse — one that comes with threats and the enticement of a temptress played by Carolyn Jones.

To secure your spot for the film, which is sure to bring back nostalgic memories of Elvis’ iconic performances, make sure to RSVP by Friday, March 28.
