• Spinout

  "Spinout" is more fun than I thought. The songs were good, the characters interesting, the flow of the story kept me. Elvis is the lead singer of a band and up to his neck with...girls. Diane McBain, the best-selling author wants him. Shelley Fabares, the daughter of a millionaire wants him. Carl Betz, owner of race cars, wants Elvis to drive for him since Elvis drives cars in the day and sings at night. From Elvis "Blue Hawaii", "Fun in Acapulco", "kid Galahad", "Viva Las Vegas", "Follow That Dream" all worked out ok and this one does to. Lighthearted romantic comedies like this with Elvis Presley taking charge with the music do have their entertaining pluses and "Spinout" was more of a surprise.

  By this time, Elvis movies has become more or less formula. A tried but true, seemingly senseless comedy with some fairly good songs, while the acting is okay at best, it somehow looses it's "punch" near the end. Honestly, a fairly good movie, with a good cast.
