Creole is one of the two dominant cultures of New Orleans, where the movie is set. The other is the more famous Cajun. The “King” may be a reference to Elvis Presley’s title, or to the involvment of the mafia in the movie’s plot, or possibly just sounded good and went with the movie’s film noir style.
