Elvis Summary
MPAA Rating: G
Director: John Carpenter
Genres: Drama
Rating:
The first volley in the never-ending "Presley movie" blitzkrieg, the made-for-TV Elvis: The Movie stars Kurt_Russell as the King, Season_Hubley as Priscilla, Pat_Hingle as Col._Parker, Shelley_Winters as Elvis' mom, and Bing_Russell (Kurt's real-life father) as Elvis' dad. The film recounts Presley's life from age ten to his 1969 Vegas comeback. Presley imitator Ronnie McDowell expertly dubs in Kurt_Russell's renditions of "Love Me Tender," "Heartbreak Hotel," et al. When first telecast on February 11, 1979, the ratings for Elvis: The Movie went through the roof, even beating out a competing telecast of Gone With the Wind. Hal Erickson, Rovi
