| DVD Information |  | Wild in the Country | | Presley, Elvis | | Lange, Hope | | UPC: 024543048183 | | Musicals & Performing Arts : General | | Amazon.com
Elvis plays a roughneck country boy, seething with hostility but gifted with literary talent. In the occasionally precious Clifford Odets script, this comes across as James Dean by way of a Thomas Wolfe novel--and not a bad shot at respectable acting by Elvis. His monologue about his dead mother, delivered to sympathetic shrink Hope Lange, is one of the most affecting things the King ever did in a movie. The songs are kept to a minimum, and Presley has some good, thrumming energy with the young Tuesday Weld (bad girl) and Millie Perkins (good girl), two uncommonly smart actresses. This is one of many Hollywood melodramas suggesting the angst brewing beneath the prosperity of the Eisenhower-Kennedy era, and it holds up decently, if not spectacularly. For Elvis fans, it's a poignant glimpse at a performer still in the young-buck stage of exciting possibilities. --Robert Horton
DVD features
Not much beyond the basics. The color in the widescreen transfer looks brand-new, although the soundtrack seems unevenly mixed at times. --Robert Horton | | | | Products related to "Wild in the Country" from Amazon.com | |
