Frankie And Johnny FTD CD Soundtrack.

A must have CD for all fans and collectors.
In Frankie And Johnny, Elvis Presley plays Johnny, a riverboat entertainer that has a big gambling problem. Donna Douglas is Johnny's girl, Frankie. A fortune teller tells Johnny how he can change his luck. Enter a new lady luck played by Nancy Kovack and the cat fight begins. A dozen songs make up the soundtrack featuring 'Hard Luck' and 'Please Don't Stop Loving Me'. Also in the cast are Sue Ane Langdon, Harry Morgan and Anthony Eisley.
Frankie & Johnny is very different from most Elvis movies in that it has a genuine theatrical feel to the soundtrack. While the songs weren’t particularly contemporary at the time this is still pure Southern Showboat theatre. While the lack of audio improvement on the LP Masters is a real disappointment, the Showboat theme is still something a little different. So if Elvis, gamblin’, showtunes and riverboats appeal to you then this soundtrack won’t let you down.
