  • Virgil Walker might as well have been the Elvis Presley as this film was mainly a watered down version of the man who would be dubbed "The King."

    This is not a shot Tommy Sands, as who played Walker, and not so coincidentally, he was managed by Col. Tom Parker, which actually occurred BEFORE he signed Elvis. The film turned Sands into a minor teen idol and did well with that demographic, though it did not resonate with anyone else.
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Sing, Boy, Sing (1958)
  • Actors: Tommy Sands
  • Songs you may remember: Teen-Age Crush
  • Why you should vote:: Sands was excellent in the role
  • Why you should not vote:: In terms of originality, this movie had none.
