I loved this movie so much. If anyone knows where I could find the song lyrics, it would be greatly appreciated. The songs and acting were phenominal.

For all of you Elvis trivia buffs, you might be interested to know that the outdoor scenes in "Kid Galahad" were filmed in Idyllwild, a small mountain community in southern California. The indoor scenes of the inn where Elvis' character, Walter, stayed is known as "Hidden Lodge" to the local townsfolk. It has been sold and remodeled several times since the movie was released, and is now a private residence. The "chapel" building where Walter (Elvis) and Dolly (Lola Albright) met with the priest to be married was actually the local post office for a number of years. While "Kid Galahad" depicted Elvis in the customary light-hearted role, he was most noted for the film allowed him the opportunity to explore a more serious and dramatic side he so longed to portray.

I loved the movie. The boxing scene was more realistic than other boxing movies and that includes the "rocky" movies, and the fact that elvis was trained by a former champion gives the action in the movie even more credibility. on a scale of 1 to 10 I give "kid galahad" a 100.

I just love the scenery in this movie with Elvis. the storyline is good also and he does a wonderful job portraying a boxer, one of my favorites.

Elvis Presley really puts a lot of heart in, not only kid galahad, but also all 33 of his movies.  I'm only 13, but Elvis is da bomb!

An under-rated classic Elvis movie - good acting (including some well-respected Hollywood actors), some great songs and beautiful scenery. This is the movie that turned me into an Elvis fan back in 1982.

24K Gold Music Shows is a large oldies musical revue (126 people) performing primarily in Florida. The shows are filled with lots of choreography, energy, and great fun with oldies, country, and Elvis songs.

The last 1/3 of each evening show is an Elvis Tribute, featuring his music based on arrangements from his 1970s concerts. And every show is different.

24K Gold Music Shows understands there was only one Elvis Presley, so NO ONE in in the band will ever attempt to "impersonate" Elvis or pretend to be him, nor even be as good as Elvis! The show they are doing is a sincere tribute to the King, with NO attempt to mock him.

So in 24K Gold Music Shows Elvis tribute show you will be reminded of Elvis through his songs, sung with similar arrangements to those he used in concert, and see some similar costumes to those he wore, just for nostalgia's sake.
