From www.elvisinfonet.com:
Elvis in the new 'Indiana Jones' Soundtrack: The new Indiana Jones movie premiered this week during the Cannes film festival. The first 3 movies were made several years ago and are set in the 40s. Director Spielberg’s main character, played by Harrison Ford, is aged and the movie is now set in the 50s. It may not be a surprise that we hear a song from Elvis, "Hound Dog" on the soundtrack! Actress Teri Garr previously reported that Spielberg told her that Viva Las Vegas was one of his favorite movies!
From a review posted on www.topix.com:
Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull has done nothing to dilute the integrity of Spielberg and Lucas's classic hero. Indeed, although Indy's showing some creaking bones and doesn't crack a whip quite as elegantly as he used to, this is a slick, fun film that has by no means sacrificed the fast action beats of the first three.
Even by the franchise's own standards, this is off to a quick start, opening in 1957 with a procession of army vehicles being pursued by teenyboppers. Elvis’ "Hound Dog" is on the soundtrack, but the biggest surprise is the look of Indy 4. Beautifully shot by Janus Kaminszki, the style here is pastel-hued 50s, and the structure of the film follows suit.
