G.I. Blues
The only Elvis Presley movie I ever saw in a theater was G.I. Blues, & that was because mom made me go to the movies one rainy Saturday afternoon just to get me out of the house. It was awful & most of the slightly prepubescent audience hooted all the way through it. I was sitting next to Patty Clark, a cute Army brat, her father was on local recuiting duty, they rented a house & moved away the next year. Patty watched the movie quietly.
