It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

An entertaining, funny movie. Elvis uses his childhood friend, played very well by Bill Bixby, as his manager. Bixby is an extremely irresponsible one who gets Elvis in trouble with the IRS. Here is where Nancy Sinatra comes in as the IRS agent responsible for seeing he makes restitution for the $145K that he owes. That is a huge amount for 1968. (My parents bought a four bedroom house that year for $20.5K) At first Nancy is all business but since this an Elvis movie she softens up and they fall in love. There are a lot of girls and songs as is too be expected. I found this to be a pretty nice movie and definitely one the better Elvis ones. As most know he did make a couple of dogs!!!

SPEEDWAY is just another in the long line of '60s Elvis vehicles, and kind of lightweight at that. It takes awhile to go anywhere, but not that you go into these flicks expecting high art or anything. Presley is a kind-hearted race car driver who gets an unwelcome visit from tax investigator Nancy Sinatra, looking to nail him for unpaid dollars he's earned while racing around the track. Gale Gordon (Lucy's Mr. Mooney himself) is on hand as her no-nonsense boss. Elvis was actually pretty good at comedy, and he shares some funny moments with Bill Bixby, who plays his conniving manager/buddy. Two good songs this go-round are "Let Yourself Go" (sung by The King) and Nancy Sinatra's sexy rendition of "Your Groovy Self". ** out of ****

SPEEDWAY, Elvis and Nancy Sinatra tackle the fast pace of the Charlotte Speedway and light up the screen. Nancy looks fantastic with her blonde hair and those incredible eyes that melt you. Elvis is Elvis, what can you say. NOTE: Nancy is the only person to ever have a song included on an Elvis Presley soundtrack. YOUR GROOVY SELF is fun and the attitude lively. Gale Gordon adds to the cast as does Bill Bixby.Fast cars, groovy times and lots of songs. The children in this movie are adorable.True entertainment for Elvis and Nancy fans alike.Grab the pop corn and snuggle up!

This is one of my favorite Elvis movies. I don't really like auto racing and I didn't care for Nancy Sinatra, but what I did like is the relationship and chemistry between Elvis and Bill Bixby. It's the closest thing to a buddy movie that Elvis made. As far as romance, there are other Elvis movies that are much better, particularly Viva Las Vegas.
