It Happened At The World's Fair

 


 

What else can be said about the movie that is already desribed by the above text on the DVD cover? Elvis is in a good shape in this movie which was first to be seen in cinemas in 1963. Elvis is doing what he can do best: Singing songs while the plot is moving on.

It Happened At The World's Fair

 

Mike (Elvis Presley) and his friend Danny (Gary Lockwood) are cropduster pilots. Unfortunally Danny is a gambler and because of his gambling debts a local sheriff takes custody of the plane. The way out of the financial squeeze is to earn some money and this takes them to Seattle and the World's Fair.

Elvis: One Broken Heart For Sale

 

While his friend Danny tries to earn money by poker games, Mike (Elvis) takes care of Sue-Lin, the little girl, whose father has disappeared. As a matter of course a love-affair with a young lady, the nurse Diane (played by Joan O'Brien), is included.

Warner Bros. presents IT HAPPENED AT THE WORLD'S FAIR in a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. The restoring/remastering of this movie has been done excellent. The picture quality is outstandnig and the movie never looked that beautiful before.

 

The design of the dvd boxes is well-done and uses the original artwork.
