Charro! DVD

Elvis Presley as the one called Charro!

Most Elvis Presley movies fit neatly inside a whirlwind formula of girls, songs and who-do-youlove complications. Like its loner title character, the gritty Western Charro! is different. The Elvis on screen here isn't the clean-cut all-American kid ready to hit the beach or dance floor. Instead, a barbed stubble covers his face. His hat hangs low over his eyes. And a bandanna hides the ugly scar that marks him as a killer. Written and directed by Charles Marquis Warren (creator of TVs Gunsmoke, Rawhide and The Virginian), this stark sagebrush saga follows an ex-outlaw trying to go straight but hes got a score to settle when his own gang frames him for a heist.
