4.0 out of 5 stars Sad, Insightful Documentary about Elvis' Last Years, February 15, 2003

This review is from: Elvis: Final Chapter - Bonus Interviews (DVD)

This was a good documentary about Elvis' last years. It covers topics you won't find in Joe Esposito's new DVD. Interestingly, in this DVD, Esposito does offer his insights into the more painful topics about Elvis, such as Elvis' mood swings, depression, and drug dependency. My only wish is that this DVD could have been longer. It is sensationalistic at times; even the photograph taken secretly of Elvis lying in state was included.
Poor Sheila Ryan struggled as she tried to discuss details of her relationship with Elvis without getting too intimate or graphic. An interesting interview involved Don Wilson, who met Elvis when he was only 10 years old. Other fascinating interviews were given by Elvis' female co-stars from his movie musicals. One thing for certain came out in almost all of the interviewees: they have the highest regard for Elvis, but Colonel Parker makes their blood run cold. I'm still dumbstruck at the movie roles Parker turned down, which could have made Elvis a major movie star.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected, February 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Elvis: Final Chapter - Bonus Interviews (DVD)

This DVD was better than I expected. In fact, if the second half of the program would have been as strong as the first, I would have gave it one more star. There are some nice photos and clips of Elvis that show this was not completely slapped together. The program is broken down into segments, (ie: talking about Col. Parker, Elvis' movie career, his personal life, etc:). There are interviews with Joe Esposito, Elvis' long time road manager, Sheila Ryan, a girlfriend of his from the 1970's, and several people who worked with him in the movies. The most amazing part to me is the segment on his movie career. They show all the movie roles that the Col. turned down for Elvis (West Side Story, A Star is Born, Midnight Cowboy, etc.). It is just shocking to see. The second part of the CD focuses on Elvis personal problems and his demise. Though Joe Esposito and Sheila Ryan are mostly sympathetic and understanding, it is a little more than most people need to know. You can see Sheila Ryan is uncomfortable talking about their sex life. You get the feeling if she had to do the interview again, she wouldn't discuss it. Again, better than I expected.
