Kid Galahad
Presley packs the the screen's biggest wallop...with the gals...with the gloves...with the guitar!
Directed by Phil Karlson
Produced by The Mirisch Company
A cheerful, music-driven sports drama about a young boxer's rise, built on charm, mentorship, and romantic appeal rather than gritty realism.
After completing military service, Walter Gulick takes a job as a sparring partner at a gym, the owner of which sees potential in Walter as a professional fighter—and takes him under his wing.
