VIVA LAS VEGAS (1964) – Race car driver Lucky Jackson (Elvis Presley) is down on his luck in Las Vegas. The Grand Prix is just around the corner and his race car needs an engine! Lucky has to take a job as a casino waiter, and luckily, there’s that redheaded bombshell Rusty Martin (Ann-Margret) to help him. And luckily, Lucky Johnson can SING! Highlights of the twelve musical numbers include a verbal duel between Elvis and Ann-Margret entitled “The Lady Loves Me”, the essential rockabilly number “C’mon, Everybody”, Ray Charles’ “What’d I Say”, and the requisite ballad “If You Don’t Think I Need You”. And, of course, you can’t forget the title song!<br><br>
Movie classics feature 35mm film prints, a newsreel, cartoon, previews, Dec-O-Win raffle, and a live Wurlitzer organ serenade.
