Short description
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.
What's left behind the scenes
- The draft board gave Elvis Presley (1935-1977) a two-month deferment to finish filming, after which he was drafted into the army.
- Producer Hal B. Wallis personally asked Michael Curtiz to direct the film. Curtiz initially refused, but then changed his mind – allegedly after watching several previous films starring Elvis Presley.
- James Dean was originally intended to play the lead role, however the actor died in a car accident in 1955 at the age of 24. After his death, Elvis Presley was cast in the lead role and the script was changed.
