    I bought my mother the dvd last Christmas. She said "Nobody can beat Kurt Russell's portrayel of Elvis" and if anyone knows this it's mama as she met Elvis in 54 and shared a few letters with Elvis and his father Vernon over the years. Kurt Russell is my fav actor of all time and just a super nice guy!

    Theres a lot of wrong-headed complaining in this comment section. Lets begin with the fact that only Elvis Presley was Elvis Presley, if there was another he would not have been unique. Kurt Russell is a fine actor who did a wonderful job in this role. If youre really jonesing for E , there are plenty of videos on YT of the one and only.

    To think that it was Elvis that began the pairing of Kurt Russel and John Carpenter. In one Elvis movie, he played a character named John Carpenter (forgot which one) and Kurt Russel played the kid who kicked Elvis in the shin in It happend at the world fair. Elvis rocks and so does Carpenter and Russel.

      It's a shame, but it still could be accurate in that Bill had a concert bass before switching to his famous Maestro Kay bass in 1954.

  • @sriiski

    It was a guy named Ronnie McDowell doing the vocals, because using Elvis' recordings would've been too expensive. Kurt Russell was doing the lip synch. Both McDowell and Russell did great job in this movie.

    I was 11 years old when I first heard Elvis. Mum and Grandma were horrified, I was not allowed to like him. Later, when I was at high school, with some pocket money, I used to ride my bike home, and on the way, I would stop at the Centreway Tea Rooms in Hamilton, New Zealand, (before the days of coffee bars, as a British Colony, we drank tea) and for one shilling, I played Elvis Blue Moon Of Kentucky.

    kurt russell is by far the best Elvis presley movie done everything about this movie is perfect from the acting to the singing and this movie was made 2 years after Elvis presleys death in 1979 and it still looks so fresh i dont wana see a remake of this movie i think they would defenetly fuck it up what they need to do is get kurt russell to extend the ending to presleys death so remaster the movie with the extened ending with kurt russell it would be perfect in my oppinion.
