Elvis: That's the Way It Is offers a candid look at Elvis Presley at a point when he decided to permanently abandon movie roles and return triumphantly to concert gigs. It shows him strutting around Vegas with his entourage, Elvis painstakingly preparing for his stage show, Elvis relaxing backstage and trading jokes with his vocal accompanists, and, of course, Elvis before a live, loud audience. Photographed by Lucien Ballard the film was directed by Denis Sanders of Shock Treatment fame. This film was hugely reedited and reissued in 2001, with around 40% new material that replaced preexistent fan footage with musical performances and revelations; it also works in a a version of 'Love Me Tender' that finds The King strutting through the audience. That cut of the film - which received heightened critical kudos - rates 4 stars, and qualifies as more of a performance film than a documentary.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Lovefilm description is wrong
Just a quick note to say that the Lovefilm description is wrong where it says that this film focusses on the 'overweight' period of Elvis' career. ... read more »
Is it me, or are pop stars getting younger and younger? This week 16-year-old sensation Justin Bieber releases his first concert movie – though Never Say Never is understandably pretty short on actual concert footage, and extremely long on baby snaps. A sign o’ the times, I guess. Where 80s greats Prince and Michael Jackson constructed a mythos of untouchable genius around them, an aura of old fashioned star power built on extravagance, extreme privacy, and cultivated eccentricity, Read more
