Elvis Presley refused to watch this movie because of Judy Tyler's tragic death in a car accident in Wyoming on July 3, 1957, three days after filming was completed.

Judy Tyler never saw the premiere of this movie; she was killed in a traffic accident in Wyoming on July 3, 1957, only three days after the film was completed. It was released theatrically on November 8, 1957.

Originally choreographer Alex Romero created a dance for the song "Jailhouse Rock" that was in a style more apropos for a classically trained dancer than Elvis Presley. When Romero realized that his plans for the number were never going to work, he asked Presley how would he normally move to the song, leading Elvis to become the uncredited choreographer for what many consider the most famous dance number in all his movies.

Elvis Presley's band in the film is his real-life band, including Scotty Moore on electric guitar and Bill Black on stand-up bass. Both had been with Presley since his beginning in Memphis at Sun Records (owned by Sam Phillips). In the recording studio scenes, the piano player is Mike Stoller of the Lieber (Jerry Leiber) and Stoller songwriting team, which wrote many of the major-hit rock songs of the 1950s.

Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller wrote four songs ("Jailhouse Rock", "I Want to Be Free", "Treat Me Nice", and "You're So Square") in five hours after their music publisher, under deadline, locked them in their hotel room.
