Elvis is a punk that thinks revolves around him. In an argument with a similarly egoistic man child, he lost his footing and there goes his bike. With the downtime, he was given a refuge for the meantime by a Carnival Owner/Lover of the egoistic man child while waiting for his bike. He fell in love with that man's child and the rest was history.
This is not a good film. For the most part, its just a very dated romance. I had watched it primarily for Stanwyck's presence and she was fine for its not-so-good material. Elvis was a there and pretty much is resting on his name. The romance is just so rooted in misogyny that it kinda feels uncomfortable at times. Then the plot is rooted in corniness that it also ages it a lot - just think of those Hallmark and their 'movies'. At least they understood their demographic.
Other notes, is that it is well pictured. The supporting cast can act but is nothing to write about.
I do not know if I would seek Elvis film in the future.
