In the decades since Elvis Presley’s “King Creole” hit the screen, dozens of films have been shot in and around New Orleans.

And while any number of them are probably technically better than “King Creole,” it would be hard to find one that is so universally appreciated, both in New Orleans and outside of it

It played up the local setting nicely, and further cemented Presley’s connection to the city.

It also marked a key moment in the career of the young king of rock ’n’ roll, and thus a key moment in American pop culture history.
