I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
A very well done documentary, officially authorized by the Elvis Presley estate. Info and tidbits focusing on the films "Love Me Tender", "Loving You", "Jailhouse Rock" and "King Creole"...all made prior to Elvis' stint in the Army. Included are clips from those movies, Elvis' screen test, movie outtakes, TV appearances and previously unseen(at the time) home movies. A few Elvis songs are featured like: "Anyplace Is Paradise", "Love Me Tender", "Loving You", "Mean Woman Blues", "Jailhouse Rock", "Baby, I Don't Care", "Young and Beautiful", "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Crawfish". Some comments from: Scotty Moore, Elvis' original guitarist; good friend George Klein; girlfriend June Jaunico; writer/directer Hal Kanter; writer Allan Weiss and co-star Jan Shephard. Top notch editing and great blending of B&W and color footage. "Elvis in Hollywood" is one of the better Elvis documentaries I've seen.
