- Synopsis:
Elvis: The Trouble with Girls a.k.a. 'The Chautauqua' (1969) It's like a carnival midway and a week at some highfalutin. East Coast college all in one. The Chautauqua, a travelling 1927 tent show, has come to Radford Center, Iowa. And so has a heap of trouble. In a change-of-pace role, Elvis Presley portrays Walter Hale, the white-suited impresario overseeing the Chautauqua's novelty acts, lectures and close harmonies. The supporting cast is as colourful as the film's vibrant Americana. Vincent Price's Mr. Morality holds forth on immorality. John Carradine appears as a nimble-minded Shakespearean actor. Marlyn Mason, Joyce Van Patten, Sheree North, Edward Andrews and Dabney Coleman also star. And Elvis sings as only he can, from the tender ballad Almost to the rousing traditional 'Swing Down Sweet Chariot' and the untraditional rouser 'Clean Up Your Own Backyard'.
Elvis: That's the Way It Is (1970)
Elvis Presley, wearing a flashy new jumpsuit, has pre-show jitters. "If the songs don't go over", he quips, "we can do a medley of costumes". The songs go over big - thanks to a remastered picture and remixed Dolby Digital from restored elements - in this Special Edition of the legendary Las Vegas concert movie shot in summer 1970. Film archivist/restorer Rick Schmidlin (Greed, Touch of Evil) has recovered more incomparable music - over thirty minutes of rare performances from studio vaults in this dazzling rejuvenation. Added footage includes a get-down rehearsal of 'Get Back'. Plus 'Suspicious Minds', 'One Night' and more from the Original Release now appear in different versions.- Actors:
