Rating:
Charlie Rogers (Elvis_Presley) is a coffeehouse singer who joins a financially troubled carnival in Roustabout. He is hired by owner Maggie Morgan (Barbara_Stanwyck) and soon catches the eye of his pretty female co-worker Cathy Lean (Joan_Freeman). Cathy's irate father Joe (Leif_Erickson) clashes with Charlie when he tries to romance his daughter, but Charlie's singing helps bring in the much-needed money for the failing carnival and keeps the wolves from the big tent show. A disagreement has Charlie joining another carnival before things are smoothed out. Watch for Raquel_Welch and Terry_Garr in bit parts. Presley delivers 11 songs, the highlight being the Mike Leiber/Jerry Stoller tune"Little Egypt". Dan Pavlides, Rovi
