User Reviews. Welcome to 1964. Elvis is still stuck in movie limbo, the Beatles are ready to conquer America, and this movie pops up. Elvis has one of his better roles since Flaming Star, as he plays a angry young man named Charlie Rogers, who is not that likable at all.

“Roustabout” (1964) is easily one of the better Elvis flicks (for me, at least), probably because the setting is the carnival & carnies, but also because the story is serious (rather than farcical) and more captivating than most.

Popular reviews. Roustabout is actually one of the better outings of Elvis' hokey early '60s films. It's nowhere near as good as Viva Las Vegas, but it beats the pants off of hot garbage like It Happened at the World's Fair.
