Co-Starring: Shelly Fabares, Deborah Walley, Diane McBain, Jack Mullaney, Will Hutchens, Warren Berlinger, Jimmy Hawkins, Dodie Marshall, Una Merkel, Cecil Kellaway and Carl Betz.	When three gorgeous girls go after Elvis Presley, they have a lot more than each other as rivals. They have to compete with the sleek curves and shiny good looks of a high powered 427 Cobra. In "Spinout," Elvis plays a singer-race car driver who has a single-minded desire to remain single. Pursuing him is a trio of lovelies with an itch to get hitched: the love-besotted drummer in his band, a spoiled heiress and the author of The Perfect American Male (who thinks she's finally found him). But, no matter how lovely, three is a crowd for Elvis, a point he underscores with the title song "Stop, Look, Listen," "Adam and Evil," "Never Say Yes" plus five more tunes.
Viva Las Vegas 1963, Color, 85 minutes, Directed by George Sidney. Starring: Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret. Co-Starring: Cesare Danova, William Demarest, Nicky Blair.

As a race car driver determined to win the Vegas Grand Prix, Elvis must come up with enough cash to buy a new high powered engine for his car. But it's his heart that's racing when he meets a woman that distracts him from his goal: lovely swimming instructor Ann-Margret. Along with luminous star power, its razzle-dazzle Vegas funfest of showgirls and showcases and its climactic, hair-raising finale, the film delivers ten knockout songs. Among them: "What I'd Say," "The Lady Loves Me," and the smash-hit title tune.
