(Ina Balin. 1969/98 min.). Jailhouse Rock: Vince Everett is serving a one-year jail sentence for manslaughter. While in the big house, his cellmate, a former country singer, introduces him to the record business. Everett takes to it so well that he decides to become a singer when he gets out. However, he is quickly disillusioned by the record business. But with the help of a new friend, he decides to form his own label, and soon becomes an overnight sensation. But when he becomes a superstar, will his desire for fame and money cause him to forget the people who got him there? It Happened at the World's Fair: The King plays pilot-for-hire Mike, whose hope of starting his own flying business is grounded by the gambling of his co-pilot Danny (Gary Lockwood). The pair hitch to Seattle, where Mike finds romance, Danny finds easy marks and both find problems prior to a Happy Ending. Kurt Russell, star of 1979's Elvis biopic, plays the child who wallops Mike in the shins. Stay Away, Joe: The King steps into ranch life as a Navajo rider who, among other comic mishaps, mistakenly barbecues his herd's prized bull. Based on a novel by Dan Cushman. Charro!: It's an untamed land of stagecoach robberies, gunfights, tumbleweed and Elvis! The King plays a former outlaw trying to lead a straight life until his old gang of outlaws frame him for stealing a cannon from Mexican revolutionary forces.
