ELVIS PRESLEY

Window Card and Title Lobby Card (14" x 22" & 11" x 14")
Very Fine
MGM, 1957

This group features two items from the films of the legendary Elvis Presley. Offered is a window card from Jailhouse Rock (1957), which features a beautifully-rendered portrait of the handsome star against a bright pink background. It is unfolded and unrestored with small random creases in the borders. The other item is a title lobby card from Love Me Tender (1956), which is also unrestored and exhibits edge toning, border creases and signs of handling.

Three films redefined childhood for those experiencing it in the 1950s: The Wild One starring Marlon Brando, Rebel Without a Cause starring James Dean, and Jailhouse Rock starring Elvis Presley in just his third film. Elvis plays a version of himself allergic to pretense, providing many of the film's most enjoyable moments. The titular musical number remains among the greatest in silver screen history. Nonetheless, when his co-star Judy Tyler died in a tragic car crash before the film was released, Elvis refused to see it.
