    Elvis travels to the Catskills and becomes a hit boxer

    An ex-GI (Presley) returns to his rustic home town in upstate New York looking for employment as a mechanic. He's roped into becoming a boxer by a dubious manager-turned-innkeeper (Gig Young) while catching the eye of the man's kid sister (Joan Blackman). With the mentorship of his trainer (Charles Bronson), he quickly becomes the top-drawing champion dubbed Kid Galahad. Then the Mob tries to muscle in on the action. Lola Albright plays the innkeeper's significant other and assistant.

    "Kid Galahad" (1962) was Elvis' 10th film of the 31 he did in his acting oeuvre. I prefer the more serious Elvis flicks, like "Roustabout" (1964's ), to the silly farces, like "Spinout" (1966),...
