Tattyshoes S I generally like Elvis movies but not this one. It lacks direction, a coherent storyline, decent cinematography & any good acting… also there are no memorable songs. Without doubt the worst Elvis movie I’ve ever seen. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Marcela L There's nothing quite like watching Elvis Presley in an intriguing film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Karen S Hi, Not sure why no 1 else has given a Review or why Critics haven't watched this movie but it's simply wonderful and another example of Mr Presley's talent. I believe it's 1 of the last movies he had to do to under Contract and it takes back to the 1920s in a small town In America. And where life can be so simple yet so interesting with loads of colorful Interesting people. The Assemble Star Studded Cast is very Inviting and Intriguing. It's just gets you drawn into a story that might be simple but well Executed! Enjoy an hour and 44 minutes of ups and downs and Just Plain fun... With a Melodious message. Tc 🎞🎶💈📽🎬 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/23 Full Review steve d It is really obvious how little Elvis wants to be there at this point. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitely one of the weirder Elvis movies- he's only in it for about 30 minutes. But then again, so is everybody else; its an ensemble cast of equally boring parts. The concept wasn't terrible, the movie is essentially about corruption, from nepotism to murder, all on the backdrop of an idealogical religious and educational experience. (I'm honestly not sure if I should read into that either.) Bonus points for Elvis' perfect sideburns and fly suits. Also great music choices for him. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Bin voyons, je comprend que dans le temps les technologies n'étaient pas la, mais les bonnes idées de scénario, ça aurait pu être possible, non ? Bref, insupportable, surtout le monologue de la nageuse pas rapport avw son bec d'oiseau... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
