Viva Las Vegas

February 16th, 2007 by Tank

This weekend the NBA holds the All-Star Game in Las Vegas. Which of course brings to mind the man who became synonymous with the city, the King. In addition to his status as artist-in-residence at the Las Vegas Hilton (where they continue to secure performances from musical titans; current artist-in-residence? Barry Manilow.), one of his most popular films was set there - Viva Las Vegas. But that film doesn’t begin to encompass the King’s dramatic versatility. Which brings us to the following brain teaser: try to name the Elvis movies featuring the following highly distinct plots:

A) Elvis plays a singing race car driver who falls in love with Ann Margaret

B) Elvis plays a singing race car driver who falls in love with Nancy Sinatra

C) Elvis plays a singing race car driver who falls in love with Shelly Fabares
