Belgian poster

The offered Belgian movie poster for Elvis Presley’s boxing film Kid Galahad took its lead from the U.S. posters in that it shows no boxing imagery whatsoever. But this example did add a tremendous amount of color to the artwork, creating a stunning promotional artifact. (...) There are two Belgian tax stamps on the lower left of the poster, but these are not considered defects to most collectors. The metal plaque on the bottom of the frame reads “Kid Galahad / Belgium.” The poster measures 12 by 20 inches (30.48 x 50.8 cm) and is framed to dimensions of 15 by 23 inches (38.1 x 58.42 cm).

Here is the 1962 paperback edition of Kid Galahad. The book was first printed in 1936. There is no mention of the movie but I am sure that the book was re-printed to take advantage of the movie.

From The New York Times digital archives:

A Ferocious Elvis Presley: Singer Enters the Ring in 'Kid Galahad'
By BOSLEY CROWTHER
THE NEW YORK TIMES
MARCH 7, 1963

The last thing you might think Elvis Presley is qualified to do is act a diffident amateur boxer who turns out to be a tiger in the professional ring. And you might well persist in that opinion after seeing him in "Kid Galahad," a sportive remake of an old Wayne Morris picture, which came to the Astor yesterday.
Mr. Presley is certainly no model for a statue of Hercules, and his skill at projecting an illusion of ferocity is of very low degree. The expanses of flesh that he exposes when he gets into boxing togs are a fair indication that most of his muscles have come from punching a guitar, and his pout when he clouts a rival bears no resemblance to a killer's slit-mouthed sneer.
Furthermore, the proclivity assigned him by his genius and William Fay's script of expressing himself at odd moments in conspiciously un-pugnacious songs, brought up from what seems a ruptured larynx, does not endow him with a gladiatorial air. No, we'll have to agree that Mr. Presley does not make a very convincing pug.
But somehow this clique-ridden picture, which has its origin in an ancient novel by Francis Wallace that has been drawn upon (or snitched from) for any number of Golden Boy films, makes a moderately genial entertainment. It's not explosive, but it has the cheerful top of a lightly romantic contrivance that ranges between comedy and spoof.
For this we can thank the other actors who played their roles ardently and Phil Karlson, who has directed at a brisk and deceptive pace. Gig Young is attractively wicked as a Catskill hotel-keeping heel who tries to lead the young boxer to slaughter so he himself may drink. Lola Albright is charmingly solicitious as Mr. Young's disillusioned girl and Joan Blackman is pretty and submissive as the last who falls for Mr. Presley's songs. Charles Bronson, Ned Glass and Robert Emhardt make good training-camp characters. For a film about a singing prize-fighter (which is silly enough) it will do.
