Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas (1964) is the musical comedy you can watch online on iFILM — the one where George Sidney put Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret on screen together and caught maybe the decade's best spark.

Lucky Jackson rolls into Las Vegas with a race car but no engine, and only days left before the Grand Prix. He waits tables, wins the money he needs, then promptly loses his head over the hotel's swimming instructor. Cue a rival who wants both the trophy and the girl, poolside dance numbers, and a title song half the world has covered since.

Plot was never the point. This one runs on two stars — Presley at his most charming and a redheaded Ann-Margret who matches him step for step and note for note. A bright, breezy relic of the studio-musical era, and, by most counts, the best film Elvis ever made. Stream Viva Las Vegas (1964) online on iFILM.
