THIS IS ELVIS-
Warner Home Video commemorates the 30th anniversary of "The King’s" passing with a collector’s Limited Edition 11 disc box set and several Special and Deluxe Edition DVD releases, one of which is the fascinating documentary This Is Elvis. An intimate, behind-the-scenes portrait, This Is Elvis
draws on interviews with the people who knew Presley best – family,
friends, employees and mentor/manager Colonel Tom Parker – and includes
some rare footage, such as home movies, newsreels and several key TV
appearances. It traces the life of Elvis from his early days in Tupelo
and Memphis and his audition for Sam Phillips at Sun records, through
to his early TV appearances, his army years and his first meeting with
Pricilla, then his time in movies, his 1968 comeback and touring years
in the 1970s, up to his death in 1977. The film is digitally
re-mastered with exceptional sound and includes bonus features.
