- Quotes
Prof van Alden's Male Party Guest #1: I think Stubby's gone overboard with those altered chords, don't you?
Prof van Alden's Female Party Guest #1: I agree. I think Brubeck and Desmond have gone just as far with dissidents as I care to go.
Prof van Alden's Male Party Guest #2: Oh, nonsense! Have you heard Lennie Tristano's latest recording? He reached outer space!
Prof van Alden's Female Party Guest #2: Someday they make the cycle and get back to pure old Dixieland.
Prof van Alden's Female Party Guest #3: I say atonality is just a passing phase in jazz music. What do you think Mr. Everett?
Vince Everett: Lady, I don't know what the hell you're talkin' about.

- ConnectionsFeatured in This Is Elvis (1981)
In "Jailhouse Rock" he had spent a short time in prison before plying his trade as a singer with a guitar. After some early shenanigans by record labels he decided to form his own company, with his partner, Judy Tyler as Peggy Van Alden. In real life young Elvis was apparently smitten with the 24-year-old beauty. Tragically she died in an automobile accident only a few weeks after shooting wrapped up for this movie.
None of the Elvis movies are great movies but they all entertain, including this one.
