On this day in 1969 CHARRO! opens in movie theaters. Charro! is a 1969 American western film starring Elvis Presley It was his only role that didn't feature him singing on-screen, and is the only Presley film to feature no songs at all except for the main title theme. It also features a bearded Presley for the first and last time in any of his films.
The film co-starred Ina Balin, Victor French, Barbara Werle, and Solomon Sturges. The film made a profit but wasn't a runaway success, and remains one of Presley's least-seen films despite it being among his best in terms of a 'straight' (non-musical) acting performance.

Considered a flop the movie Charro staring Elvis was damn good. If Elvis was allowed to do more roles like this he might still be alive today.
