Full Plot Details

Though several actors portray Elvis Presley at different stages of his life, this documentary is comprised mostly of actual performance footage and interviews with Elvis, his fans and those close to him. His arrival on the national scene, in 1956, is highlighted by clips from "Stage Show", "The Milton Berle Show" and "The Ed Sullivan Show". Scenes from several of his 33 films are highlighted including his screen debut in "Love Me Tender" (1956) and the critically acclaimed "King "Creole"(1958), his last film prior to a 2 year hitch in the military. From 1960-68 he kept busy by making films and soundtrack albums, as well as some Gospel albums. After an absence of almost 9 years from live performing, Elvis returned in 1968 to do a TV Special titled "Elvis" and in 1969 performed in Las Vegas for the first time since 1956. His Vegas appearances, along with his nationwide concert tours, continued for the remainder of his career. A clip from his 1973 TV Special, "Elvis: Aloha From Hawaii", is featured. Telecast from Honolulu, it was the first concert to be televised live by satellite around the world. We also see footage from his last TV Special, "Elvis in Concert", which was taken from his final 1977 tour.

Movie Reviews

Associated Press - 10/10 by Linda DeutschThis isn't a particularly well-made film, or even a truthful one - as a matter of fact, its fraudulence is its one uncompromising aspect. And yet it is mesmerizing, if not as a drama or documentary, then as an artifact.
The Spectator - 10/10 by Peter AckroydAlthough the film resembles a child's drawing of a life, it is enlivened by the use of documentary material which, if it does nothing else, at least recreates that era When 'rock-and-roll' was seen as the harbinger of things to come.
MSN.com - 10/10 by Sean AxmakerThe 1981 documentary begins with awkward recreations of Elvis' early life but soon turns into an excellent introductory portrait of the country boy turned rock and roll phenomenon...
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Ken TuckerIts ambition is so great that the production’s occasional melodramatic touches can not only be forgiven, but viewed as having been executed in the spirit of the man himself.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThis Is Elvis is the extraordinary record of a man who simultaneously became a great star and was destroyed by alcohol and drug addiction. What is most striking about its documentary footage is that we can almost always see both things happening at once.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyOne of the better docus about Elvis Presley
Screen Rant - 7/10 by Kayleena Pierce-BohenFeaturing interviews from his ex-wife Priscilla Presley and those who knew him best, and including four different actors portraying him at four distinct time periods of his life, it's a comprehensive, defining look at his rise as well as what continues to make him an enduring pop-cultural icon decades after the height of his career.
User Review - 10/10 by Scott RThis was my first acting gig. I had a great time making the movie! Andrew Solt and Malcolm Leo are super directors and can't say enough about how fantastic they are in person. I would really like to act more in the future.
