Elvis Presley's 1960 classic 'G.I. Blues' shines in its 5K resolution restoration. Highlighted by a clip of Elvis in the shower, the film's enhanced visuals bring a refreshed look to this musical favorite, continuing to captivate audiences with its timeless charm and Elvis's iconic performance.
Elvis plays an American soldier serving in Germany after World War II. He is also a musician who forms a rock n’ roll band with other soldiers. Elvis takes a bet that he can’t spend an entire night with the hard-to-get woman known as Lili.
‘G.I. Blues’ became the 14th biggest box office film of 1960, earning a Grammy for Best Soundtrack, Best Vocal Performance, and Best Written Musical. The movie musical’s success led to many similar films designed to star Elvis as the leading role.
Experience a classic Elvis Presley moment in 'G.I. Blues' during a memorable scene set in a communal army shower. Elvis, alongside three other soldiers, delivers a charming rendition of ‘What She Really Likes,’ showcasing his iconic voice as he washes his hair and squints while performing. This scene highlights not just his musical talent but also his charismatic screen presence.
As the men continue to wash up, Elvis’s character humorously quips, “Hey, Cookie! You know, I was on that tank for four hours. By the time
I get out of this army, I’m putting in for General.” This lighthearted exchange is met with a witty response from a fellow soldier: “Not me! You’re looking at a born civilian.” This iconic scene from 'G.I. Blues' captures the essence of Elvis's film career, blending music, humor, and the charisma that made him a legend.
Elvis turns to the other man, who asks, “Say, when am I gonna get that $300 you guys owe me?” Elvis tells him he’ll have it when it’s in his pockets. Then, Elvis tells him he doesn’t have pockets, making a shower joke.
Then, the ‘Sarge’ asks if Elvis took his soap in an angered tone. Elvis says, “I think we had it for breakfast,” with a huge grin on his face. The ‘Sarge’ keeps asking for his soap while getting angry. All the guys throw soap bars at him in a funny scene that looks incredibly restored to 5K.
