I pretty well figured this would be a documentary about Elvis considering he is in the title and on the cover. However most of the film is talking about Tom Jones. By the time you finish watching it you get the impression not only was Tom Jones a personal friend of Elvis, but if it wasn't for Tom, Elvis would never have taken up singing, the world would still be flat and he killed kirk robin. Stay away from this junk. The only saving grace of this is the fact there is some rare 8mm concert footage.

I agree with George from Carmel - The Gospel according to Tom Jones - there are many other DVD'S that contain similar material (without Tom Jones) and are better produced and include wonderful clips of Elvis. The Sam Phillip's interview is included in practically any documentary about Elvis.

Even though there isn't a whole lot of Elvis, it's interesting to hear from his friends and co-workers, like Scottie Moore and Sam Phillips about when Elvis recorded "That's Alright Mama" and other people who were influenced by Elvis or knew him. And Tom Jone's has interesting personal stuff to say about being Elvis friend. It's worth checking out even if you don't get to hear The King sing.

come on people how can you not love him the best .... ELVIS MOVIE EVER...watch it you love it more then your own life
