Wild In The Country (Limited Edition BLU-RAY)
US Import
“An emotionally charged movie that, in retrospect, can be viewed as The King’s farewell to serious drama and brooding moodiness…and proved conclusively that he had the potential to tackle even more challenging roles. Under Philip Dunne’s sensitive direction, Elvis and Hope Lange share the most tender love scene ever to appear in any of The King’s movies.”
– Variety: Elvis Presley’s 10 Best Movies (2017)
“An undeniable curiosity with some good performances, Elvis’s among them.”
– Leonard Maltin’s Classic Movie Guide
Hailing from a unique confluence of artists – the incomparable Elvis Presley, veteran director Philip Dunne and acclaimed screenwriter Clifford Odets – Wild in the Country (1961) is an intriguing blend of melodrama and music that hits the mark with splendid casting. The King plays a hard-luck yet innately talented Shenandoah Valley delinquent guided toward a better future as a writer by a supportive psychiatrist (Hope Lange). Tuesday Weld and Millie Perkins play, respectively, his sultry cousin and childhood sweetheart, also vying for his affections, and John Ireland and Gary Lockwood are a father and son who have it in for our rebel hero. Four Presley tunes and a score by the great Kenyon Hopkins grace the soundtrack.
