Roustabout is a 1964 musical romantic drama directed by John Rich, starring Elvis Presley in his 16th feature film.Charlie Rogers (Presley) is a talented singer who drifts from place to place on his motorcycle carrying nothing but his guitar. After getting into a brawl at a teahouse, which gets him fired, he runs into carnival owner Maggie Morgan (Barbara Stanwyck), her employee Joe Lean (Leif Erickson) and his daughter Cathy (Joan Freeman). Joe doesn't like Charlie hitting on Cathy, so he runs him off the road, damaging his bike and destroying his guitar. Maggie promises reparations and has Charlie stay at the carnival, where he works as a singer and grows closer to Cathy. | |

| Roustabout / int_ddda61ad | comment |
Loner-Turned-Friend: Charlie starts as a drifter with no ties to anyone and is determined not to get himself too "involved" with the carnies, only wanting to collect a guitar and repairs for his motorcycle which they owe him. He ends up falling for Cathy and saving the carnival from getting shut down, ultimately accepting the carnies as his family. | |
