Elvis stars in King Creole as Danny Fisher, a young delinquent high school dropout. He quits his job as a busboy in a nightclub, and one night he gets the chance to perform. Success is imminent and the local crime boss Maxie Fields wants to hire him to perform at his nightclub The Blue Shade. Danny refuses, but Fields won't take no for an answer...
 August 29
7:30 p.m.
Catch Elvis and Ann-Margaret as they star in the 1964 hit Viva Las Vegas. Lucky Jackson arrives in town with his car literally in tow ready for the first Las Vegas Grand Prix - once he has the money to buy an engine. He gets the cash easily enough but mislays it when the pretty swimming pool manager takes his mind off things. It seems he will lose both race and girl, problems made more difficult by rivalry from Elmo Mancini, fellow racer and womanizer. Perhaps some singing will help.
Movies at the Palace are $7.50 per person or $5 with a same day receipt from any Grapevine restaurant. Popcorn is always a dollar!
