Elvis - der King of Rock ‚n’ Roll, der Filmstar. Sein erster Streifen war "Love Me Tender", der Zweite "Loving You". Schon vom Titel her hatte das wenig mit Rock ‚n’ Roll zu tun. Sein dritter Film war "Jailhouse Rock". Da ging schon im Titel die Post ab. Die Tanz-Szene im Gefängnis wird jedem Elvis-Fan fürs Leben in Erinnerung bleiben. Sie war so herrlich unrealistisch. Elvis hatte die Tanz-Szene selbst entwickelt. Hauptdarstellerin des Films war Judy Tyler. Es war erst ihre zweite Filmrolle - und ihre Letzte. Noch bevor "Jailhouse Rock" in den Kinos anlief, kam sie bei einem Autounfall im Juli 1957 ums Leben. Das brachte dem Film schon im Vorfeld eine ungeheure Werbung. Und auch das Hick/Hack um die bevorstehende Einberufung von Elvis zum Militär brachte Promotion. Der Titel "Jailhouse Rock", den Elvis 1957 aufnahm, erreichte in Großbritannien etwas, was bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt bisher keine Platte geschafft hatte: Sie stieg auf Platz 1 der Hitparade ein. Bemerkenswert auch die B-Seite dieses Titels, die für sich genommen ebenfalls ein Hit hätte werden können: "Treat Me Nice". In den USA wird die Single in den Hitparaden auch als Doppel-A-Seite aufgeführt. |
