Product Description
Kurt Russell IS Elvis in a career-defining performance.
Just two years after Elvis Presley died, Kurt Russell brought him back to life in the original biopic about the King of Rock ’n’ Roll. Broadcast on ABC in 1979, Elvis marked the first time director John Carpenter would work together in what would become a legendary pairing in film history (Escape From New York, The Thing, Big Trouble In Little China, The Thing and Escape From L.A.)
Tracing Presley’s life from his impoverished childhood to his meteoric rise to stardom to his triumphant conquering of Las Vegas, Elvis features Shelley Winters (Gladys Presley), Season Hubley (Priscilla Presley), Bing Russell (Kurt’s real-life father as Vernon Presley), Pat Hingle (Colonel Tom Parker), Joe Mantegna (Memphis Mafia member Joe Esposito) and Ed Begley Jr. (drummer D.J. Fontana) in an all-star supporting cast for an effort that garnered numerous Emmy nominations including Outstanding Lead Actor for Russell.

The Blu Ray transfer is as good as you are going to get for a television film from the 1970's. Part of the blame can also be placed on Dick Clark Productions as they held on to the film and never re-released more than one or two times on television since the original release. Fan hand wrote into the studio for years and it fell on deaf ears until finally an official DVD release happened which was great too. If you want the original theatrical ending with the song Burning Love than pick up the DVD version also. The video transfers are identical and above average. Amazon usually has the movie for $20.00 or less and if it is out of stock do not pay $100.00 or more for it because they will get more.
Kurt Russell actually met Elvis Presley when they worked on a film together, 'It Happened At The World's Fair,' and kicked him too hard in the shin for the scene. He did not realize who he was until he put two and two together. So his performance as "The King" is probably one of the most legitimate after watching and working with him. My dad remembered this film fondly and really liked Russell's performance as the rock and roll famer.
