El indómito

Elvis Presley's best performances are invariably cited as his three forays into drama, which were natural matches for his chief acting characteristics: petulance, intensity and hidden vulnerability. Not coincidentally, music takes a back seat in most of these three vehicles. In King Creole (1958), based on the plot about a would-be singer, Presley sings a full score of songs. In Flaming Star (1960), there is just one song in the plot. In Wild in the Country (1961), there is only one 'serenade' per female character. The songs were included largely so that, at the very least, an Extended Play soundtrack album could be released for each film and record sales would not be negatively impacted by the time the dramas took to film. King Creole, of course, was one of the best selling albums of Presley's career, but in the case of both Flaming Star and Wild in the Country, no soundtrack album was released outside of a 45rpm single.

In the Elvis drunk scene, when he douses the window with the water hose, the in-between close up shot of the window pane (showing close up the women inside looking out) has no water residue / dripping: next shot back out to Elvis' stance (still water hose spraying) and it's (rightly) soaked.
