Change Of Habit

Elvis Presley plays a young doctor who helps the poor by working in an inner-city clinic. When a Catholic group sends in a trio of nurses--who are really nuns in disguise--to help the doctor with his work, he forms an affectionate bond with one of the sisters (Mary Tyler Moore), leading to a series of misunderstandings and romantic entanglements. This serious social drama marked a change of pace for Presley, in what would be his last feature film.

    A change of pace and style for Elvis Presley, here playing a doctor working in an ghetto whose three new helpers, unbeknown to him, are novice nuns. The talented Mary Tyler Moore co-stars, though she looks distinctly uncomfortable; she seemed much happier on the small screen the following year in her own smash hit series. Presley's film career was in free fall by this time, and the scripts and situations were becoming increasingly desperate. This, his last picture (concert movies excepted), didn't even get a theatrical release in the UK, premiering instead on BBC television.

    A Change of Habit

    I was most surprised to find that this was an Elvis film as I had never heard of it before. I would rate it almost as his best, there is a good story line the only down side was none of the music was familiar to me. It was very watchable family entertainment. A good allround 'nice' film.

    One of His Best

    This is the only realy good film Elvis made after King Creole, 4 great song including 'Rubberneckin'' this his last film has a good story line that tackles Heroin addiction, and basic street life in America. I have only seen this on TV once, it was shown after his Death & one that should be shown more often.
