G.I. Blues (1960) CHARACTER: Turk DIRECTED BY: Norman Taurog Paramount Pictures
The first film Elvis made after his stint in the army, G.I. BLUES tells the musical tale of Tulsa (Presley), a singing G.I stationed in West Germany who dreams of opening his own club when he gets out of the service. He has very little money, though, so he makes a large bet with Turk (Jeremy Slate) a fellow serviceman. Songs include, "Blue Suede Shoes".
