Customer Rating:
Summary: Classic EP
Comment: "Love Me Tender" was Elvis' introduction into the movies. I think without Elvis, it would probably have died at the box office. It was at best a "B" western had it not been his debut.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This is where it all started.
Comment: Want to see where the King of rock and roll got his start in Hollywood? Watch Love me Tender. Elvis was many things, including a very good actor. Let yourself slip away to a simpler time on the silver screen and enjoy seeing Elvis when he was still fairly innocent.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Memories
Comment: Having seen this movie when it first came out in the 50's I'm sure my rating now is different than it was then as I was one of the hardcore Elvis fans! :) I am thrilled to add it to my collection.
Customer Rating:
Summary: B&W or color?
Comment: I bought mine and it's in black and white, not colorized as the store claims to be. So I would give all the stores selling this item as colorized version a zero star!!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: NOT IN COLOR (as advertised by Amazon!)
Comment: Now, WHAT a major disappointment! Look at the product description. It says: "Format: Closed-captioned, Color, Dubbed, Special Edition, Subtitled, Widescreen, NTSC"
Did it say Black and White OR Color?
Did you say Color?
Yes, that's what I thought I saw, too.
There IS a colorized version, so Amazon leads us to believe this is IT!
Isn't that false advertisement?
I emailed them and demanded an explanation and a refund on that product!
Sure, I am a big Elvis fan and I already have that movie, in original Black and White.
I bought this one, BECAUSE they advertised it in COLOR!
So, people, BE CAREFUL, DO NOT buy this thing if you also expected it to be in color.
I give 3 for the fact that it's not Elvis' best movie, but I'd give Amazon a MINUS 5 points, if they'd have a negative rating system!

Editorial Reviews:
|
Here's the alpha point of Elvis Presley's film career, the introduction of the raw-boned Mississippi boy into Hollywood pictures. E.P. takes a supporting role, and his entrance is delayed for nearly 20 minutes: kid brother to returning Civil War soldier Richard Egan, his character marries Egan's sweetheart Debra Paget when Egan is presumed dead. It's a chance for Elvis, his face still trembling with baby fat, to emote dramatically and finish tragically, both of which he does passably well. A serviceable Western, the film shamelessly shoehorns four Presley tunes into two sequences: E.P. crooning on mama's porch, and performing at a country fair (where starchy locals don't seem disturbed at the boy's gyrating hips and happy feet). All in all, a shrewd way to put a foot in Hollywood's doorway, and, of course, one of the last Presley movies to feel like a real film and not a vehicle for the King. --Robert Horton
