I think the first one I saw at the cinema was Girls, Girls, Girls but it might have been Kid Galahad. I'm not really sure now, it was a long time ago.

The very first time I saw an Elvis film was on TV on a German channel, I think it was NDR or ZDF, and it was Fun in Acapulco.
I think I was about 8 years old. And it blew me away!

I hope for you that it wasn't dubbed in the German language, like they do with all movies. 😅. It looks and sounds horrible, imo, when a movie is dubbed in another language. Can you imagine watching 'Jailhouse Rock' and hearing Elvis say: "Das sind keine Taktiken, Schatz... das ist nur das Biest in mir"? ;)

I can't really remember that very well, but I think it was indeed spoken in German :lol: :lol:
I just saw a very handsome man who could also sing amazingly, so yeah, that did it for me.
I've been a huge Elvis fan ever since.
