Presley starred in thirty-three enormously profitable films, most of which were lighthearted comedic musicals. His first film, ''Love Me Tender'', a western, was released in 1957. His film ''Loving You'' was released soon after. He then starred in ''Jailhouse Rock'', playing an anti-hero character. For a while, Presley was one of Hollywood's highest-paid actors. He starred in ''King Creole'', for which he deferred his Army service to star in. After his service, he starred in ''G.I. Blues'' He was cast in light, clean-cut roles during the 1960s, and Presley was not happy about it, since he aspired to be a serious actor. These feature films were generally poorly received by critics, often for "them all being the same", but still sold extremely well, and were popular with fans. ''Charro'' was an exception, as it did not feature music other than a title song. After his final feature film in 1969, the only Presley films released were concert documentaries, such as ''Elvis:That's the Way it Is''.
