King Creole
A STORY PULSING WITH THE HEARTBEAT OF TODAY'S YOUTH!
Directed by Michael Curtiz
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Hal Wallis Productions
A mid-century musical crime drama about a talented young singer caught between legitimate ambition and the coercive pull of organized crime.
Delinquent Danny Fisher flunks out of high school, quits his job as a nightclub busboy, and one night gets the chance to perform. Success is imminent and local crime boss Maxie Fields wants to hire him to perform at The Blue Shade. Danny declines, but Fields won't take no for an answer.
