Elvis: The Complete Story

Starring:Elvis Presley
Director: Ted Newsom
Studio: Image Entertainment
Product Type: DVD

Amazon.com

Through photos, stock footage, and film trailer clips, Elvis: The Complete Story offers a chronological survey of the life and movie career of "The King." This is a pretty well-traveled road--so well-traveled that this disc would be more aptly titled Elvis for Beginners. There are all the usual landmarks, especially his relationship with his mother, the oppressive influence of his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, the drug use, the Memphis Mafia. One major highlight is Elvis's appearance on The Frank Sinatra Show, in which the two perform a duet. The disc gets additional credibility from interviews with some of Elvis's costars, including Mary Ann Mobley, Francine York, Sue Ann Langdon, Gary Lockwood, and Julie Parrish. About half of the narration is presented in "the words of Elvis Presley," though the source of these words is never identified. Still, the actor impersonating the voice of Elvis does a good job with what could have easily turned into silliness. After all, the film would not be "complete" without at least one Elvis impersonator (and this one has two). If this whets your appetite for more Elvis, you'll want to turn to the real thing--Elvis: That's the Way It Is. --Jim Gay
