Advantages: Great Film, Romance, Soundtrack and Performances Disadvantages: Predictable Plot
...the part of the idiotic G.I. Both performances were very convincing and both characters were intelligent, sensitive and proud. This made me enjoy the storyline more too, making this a great family film to watch.
Special Effects...
No Terminator style special effects in this film guys, but there are some. Not special effects that we notice anymore, but I picked out one that made me laugh. When the unit are sat in the back of the truck looking out ... ...sequences in the Cafe Europa

As I am in an Elvis mood and have decided to write about all things Elvis I have chosen G.I blues (as it was one of a few movies listed). G.I Blues narrowly escaped my top 5 Elvis movies and Torr, this one is for you !

...just end up with the,' G.I. Blues'?
On a personal note, I think this is by far one of Elvis's better films. Here we see a young Elvis, but no longer a boy, he truly has grown into a man, and a great singer by then,

Tracks included on ... ...Big boots, Did you ever and hit single Wooden Heart.
