ON THIS DAY: In 1977, Elvis Presley died. A living legend -- at least up until then -- Presley embodied early rock 'n' roll, was America's most famous enlisted man for a time, and later became a bad actor. See him strut his limited stuff in movies like 1961's BLUE HAWAII, a goofball musical in which he plays a soldier returning home. What a stretch. [today's movie at IMDb]
