Elvis: That’s the Way It Is

Director
Denis Sanders
Certificate
U
Running Time
95 mins

Capturing the start of Elvis Presley‘s jumpsuit years during his Las Vegas comeback in 1970, this fairly unrevealing documentary delighted fans with footage of The King performing many of his biggest hits. There’s also some footage of gushing punters and hobnobbing celebs (Sammy Davis Jr., George Hamilton, our very own Cary Grant, etc).

This remastered 50th anniversary reissue also marks what would have been the late gyrator’s 85th birthday.
