Elvis Rules Sin City in Viva Las Vegas
The on-screen pairing of Elvis and Ann-Margaret sizzled in Viva Las Vegas, and their obvious chemistry helped make the movie one of Elvis’ most beloved films. A number of critics and fans have rated Viva Las Vegas second only to Jailhouse Rock as a showcase for Elvis’ remarkable talent.
Viva Las Vegas was filmed during the summer of 1963 under the working title of “Love in Las Vegas.” It opened on May 20, 1964, and was an immediate success, grossing almost five million dollars (equal to nearly $35,000,000 today)!
The movie paired two of the hottest stars in Hollywood in a union some tabloid writers dubbed “The King and the Kitten,” a reference to the nicknames of both Elvis and Ann-Margret. The Swedish-born Ann-Margret had also skyrocketed to fame with a stream of television appearances, films, and hit songs.
The obvious chemistry between Elvis and his co-star led to rumors they were dating. In fact, some tabloid magazines published photos of the film’s wedding scene and reported that Elvis and Ann-Margret had actually gotten married.
Here are some little-known facts about the filming of Elvis’ hit movie:
- The scene where Elvis sings the title song is the only time he performed an entire song in one uncut take and from one camera angle in any of his movies.
- Elvis and Ann-Margret recorded the duet “You’re the Boss” for the film’s soundtrack, but it wasn’t included in the version that was released.
- Viva Las Vegas was the first Elvis film released overseas before its distribution in the United States.
- Singer Glen Campbell was one of the guitar players on the soundtrack album.
- Actress Teri Garr appeared as a backup dancer in the film, a performance she repeated in eight other Elvis movies. She later starred in hit movies such as The Conversation, Young Frankenstein, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
