Choreographer Alex Romero created ""Jailhouse Rock"", the iconic
Elvis Presley production number, but never received screen credit
for his contribution. This book tells his story. The son of a
Mexican general, Romero escaped the early 20th century revolution,
joined his family's vaudeville dance act and became a dancer in
Hollywood. Part of Jack Cole's exclusive Columbia dance troupe, he
was eventually hired as a staff assistant at MGM, where he worked
on Take Me Out to the Ballgame, American in Paris, Seven Brides for
Seven Brothers, and On the Town, among many others. When Romero
transitioned into a full-time choreography, he created the dances
for numerous films, including Love Me or Leave Me, I'll Cry
Tomorrow, tom thumb, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, and three
additional movies for Elvis. Known for his inventive style and
creative use of props, Romero was instrumental in bringing rock and
roll to the screen. This biography includes first-person accounts
of his collaborations with Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Judy Garland,
Frank Sinatra, and others.
