Frankie and Johnny
ELVIS Turns The Land Of The Blues Red Hot With 11 Great Songs!
A lighthearted Elvis musical comedy set on a riverboat, built around romantic entanglement, musical numbers, and playful conflict rather than dramatic stakes.
Johnny is a riverboat entertainer with a big gambling problem. After a psychic tells Johnny how he can change his luck, the appearance of a new 'lady luck' soon causes a catfight with Johnny's girlfriend, Frankie.
