I LOVE Elvis but the Tom Parker did him wrong. If you watch King Creole or perhaps Love Me Tender, he had potential as an actor. Today, so many singers have become actors. All Tom saw were dollar signs. The movies became a vehicle to push his songs. Elvis plays a guy who is supposed to return to his family business but is torn between making it on his own. I don't know how the movie ends because I had an hour to go and just couldn't do it. The scenery was nice and the girls were pretty and Elvis was in his prime but this movie demonstrates part of what lead him down a path to an early death. He couldn't have been pleased having a dead end film career. I'm sure he enjoyed singing but he wanted and deserved so much more.
