G.I. Blues in Bloomington, MN

Elvis Presley stars in
GI Blues
as Tulsa McLean, a soldier stationed in Germany, who pulls strings to stage a big show for his fellow GI's. In the tradition of the musical chestnut
The Fleet's In
, Tulsa also bets his buddies that he can date "ice princess" entertainer Lili (Juliet Prowse). Song highlights include "Wooden Heart," "Blue Suede Shoes" and the title number. The spectacular box-office performance of
G.I. Blues
proved that Elvis' popularity had not only survived his Army tenure, but had actually increased.
