WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Kid Galahad stars Elvis as a young soldier who seeks a job at a boxing camp which involves him with all sorts of off-beat characters. This is a remake of an old Humphrey Bogart film with Elvis playing a dramatic role.

LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is framed at 1.85:1. Colors are vivid with good color fidelity, black level and detail. Flesh tones are exemplary. Some noise artifacts are distracting.

LaserDisc Soundtrack:
Six classic Presely tunes—as well as the rest of the soundtrack—are presented in undistinguished mono.
