Movie was not that bad, Elvis looks good…. What more can a girl want?
Great score and song, but the film itself doesn't quite match those two things.
Elvis Presley stars as the lead in 'Charro!', a western from 1969. The main point of the premise is a promising one, but the execution of it isn't anything all that interesting. The end events are entertaining, it's just the 60-70 minutes leading up to it are very slow. More needed to be added to the story.
Presley himself is alright, I found his performance solid enough. Victor French makes for a decent villain, but neither him, the lead or anyone else really stand out in my thoughts - even shortly after watching.
Not necessarily bad, but not good either.

I discovered this film on Grit, a terrestrial channel. I think there's a good reason why this film ain't popular enough w/ causal Elvis fans or even referenced in "Full House." Granted, Presley is no Clint Eastwood, but he's no Audie Murphy either, who I recognized on the many movies the channel airs. Fortunately he sings the theme song, but even that sounds too dull to stand out beyond the film to become a hit.
