Review of Viva Las Vegas (1964) by Ashley H — 23 Oct 2008
Arguably the best of the standard Elvis Presley travelogue confections that comprised the majority of the films in his screen career, [i]Viva Las Vegas[/i] succeeds due to the chemistry shared between Elvis and Ann-Margret.
Sporting the impossibly comic-book perfect names Lucky Jackson and Rusty Martin, the two stars forge a romance against the backdrop of the Vegas Grand Prix, which Elvis, naturally intends on winning. Typical Elvis movie values like achievement through hard work and plucky perseverance don't detract from the colorful widescreen photography and a number of fun songs, like "The Lady Loves Me.
