Whether he's delivering a TKO as a rough-and-ready boxer or making waves with a gorgeous, bikini-clad costar, Elvis is at his most charismatic - and magnificent best - in this fun-filled collection of his greatest film hits: KID GALAHAD, CLAMBAKE, FOLLOW THAT DREAM, and FRANKIE AND JOHNNY!KID GALAHAD: When a shrewd gambler (Gig Young) attempts to use a young, gallant boxer, Walter Guilick (Elvis) as his pawn, it's up to Walter to show him what winning's all about in this one-two punch of an action-packed musical. CLAMBAKE: Million-heir Scott Heywood (Elvis), hoping to learn about life from the bottom up, trades identities with a penniless water-ski instructor. Now without money or title, he'll have to rely on his charm to compete with a rich playboy (Bill Bixby) for the affection of a beautiful co-ed (Shelley Fabares). FOLLOW THAT DREAM: Good-ole-boy Toby Kwimper (Elvis) just wants to make a life for himself and his family in sunny Florida. But he soon gets more than he bargained for, hounded by hoods and pursued by a social worker with more than just his welfare on her mind. FRANKIE AND JOHNNY: Elvis stars with Donna Douglas (The Beverly Hillbillies) in this fiery musical about Frankie and Johnny, two riverfront entertainers with a passion for performing - and each other.
"[Clambake] The title song is fun, Shelley Fabares is a doll..." Paul Mavis, DVD Talk
