Jailhouse Rock is an American motion picture released by MGM on November 8, 1957 starring Elvis Presley (his third film role). Because co-star Judy Tyler was killed in an automobile accident a few weeks after the film was completed, Presley was so upset that he refused to ever watch the completed film. In 2004, this film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
