Kid Galahad (1962)
Immortal heartthrob Elvis Presley stars as Walter Gulick, an ex-G.I. who returns to his rustic hometown in upstate New York looking for work as an auto mechanic. Ambitious but naive he's reluctantly roped into becoming a boxer by dubious manager-turned-innkeeper Willy Grogan (Oscar-winner Gig Young, "They Shoot Horses, Don't They", 1969 Best Supporting Actor). With his loyal trainer Lew Nyack (screen legend Charles Bronson) at his side, the iron-jawed, anvil-fisted Elvis quickly becomes the top-drawing champion "Kid Galahad" . But when the mob tries to muscle in on the action, the cool-headed fighter is to pull no punches in the ultimate bout to protect his honor and his dreams.
The mesmerizing voice of Elvis, a romantic soundtrack, and breathtaking scenery makes this popular musical remake a knockout hit for the entire family.
