Wow, what a great album. This is back when you listen to Elvis ten songs at a time, memorize every note. I loved everything about this, from the Album cover to the music. Elvis is in superb vocal form. The songs are classics. Favorites off this album are Little Sister, His Latest Flame, Its Now Or Never, Fame and Fortune, Are You Lonesome Tonight, Good Luck Charm, Stuck On You, Anything Thats Part Of You, Feel So Bad, I Gotta Know, Shes Not You, Surrender.
The King returns in this rollicking romantic musical, presented on DVD by Paramount Home Video. Presented in the original anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and accompanied by a lively, closed-captioned English Dolby 5.1 soundtrack, the disc also offers an alternate English Dolby Digital Mono audio track in addition to optional English subtitles. See Elvis strolling the carnival and rockin' the midway in vivid color and rich audio as only DVD can provide. Extra features include a theatrical trailer.

Must Have Elvis Movie

We all know what Elvis movies are about, songs, girls, fights! This has it all. Everyone loves Roustabout. The soundtrack is great. Wonderful songs here. This and Viva Las Vegas have great songs. Great family film. Kids love this movie. Enjoy the carnival setting!!!!
This is a great Elvis musical. I only wish they included the songs "Night Life, Do the Vega, and Your the Boss". It is a must have Elvis movie, great songs, great to see Elvis with Ann Margaret. Get this one and enjoy the fun. Thanks Elvis!!!!
This is better than the original That's the Way It Is because they took out all the fan interviews. I do miss some of the performances from the origianal movie however. I love the way he gets into I Can't Stop Loving You and Patch It Up on stage. Great concert!!!!!!!
Actually, whatever it is that happens at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair in this movie is fairly tepid and overlong, at 105 minutes -- but the DVD does recapture the Panavision images of that setting, including the Space Needle and the monorail, in crisp and vivid detail. The letterboxed (2.35-to-1) image is as sharp as one could hope for, and the opening out of the image makes this movie a lot more interesting to watch than any cropped broadcast version ever was. The makers have done a good job with the sound, too, for those who care about the music, but this is one instance in which Elvis is almost upstaged by the setting in which he's working for most of the picture. The makers have also given us a ridiculously generous (but welcome) chapter array. The only bonus feature is a trailer gallery devoted to Elvis's movies.
