Kid Galahad
Kid Galahad is a 1962 American musical film starring Elvis Presley as a boxer. It was released by United Artists. The film opened at #9 at the box office when released in the United States in August 1962. Variety ranked it #37 on the list of the top-grossing films of 1962.
Kid Galahad was shot on location in Idyllwild, California. Its supporting cast included Gig Young, Lola Albright and Charles Bronson. Some critics rate it as one of Elvis Presley's best performances.

Plot
Willy Grogan is a small-time boxing promoter based in the Catskills resort region of Cream Valley, New York. He owns the Grogan's Gaelic Gardens inn. He is a contemptible man and is in debt and pays little attention to the woman who loves him, Dolly, a chain-smoking, love-starved woman residing at the camp. Into their midst comes Walter Gulick, a young man recently discharged from the Army who loves the peaceful setting almost as much as he loves working on old cars. Walter's simple goal is to go into business as a mechanic at a nearby garage.

This Is Living
by: Steven StraitDeath row just let us go
They ain't gonna make it.
A new love of mine
Your cold lines dancing on my spine.
You're headstrong, headstrong
Uptight in a uniform.
You're my flavor
You look good hanging on my arm.
Oh, hold tight
I'll give it all my all.
Stay in my vapor
Stay in my vapor.
We'll have us a real good time
We'll walk out where the light is lime.
It's time to let it come undone
We'll let the sickos stare.
Cause they'll never have a love like ours
Stay ahead of the falling stars.
Whoa, this is living
Whoa, this is living...
Oh baby, I can see it even with the light on.
Oh, praise God, I'm all in fits
Hoping my soul is yours.
Well, dear God, my love is strong
Throw this dog another bone.
Oh my
My tongue is tied
Send another line through
Cause I've waited in the brook of dead
Better than saying I love you.
Whoa, this is living
Whoa, this is living...
Baby, I can see it even with the light on
Baby, I can see it even with the light on.
Yeah!
Whoa, this is living
Whoa, this is living...
Uh-huh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on!
Yeah, yeah, oh!
