| DVD Information |  | Love Me Tender | | Presley, Elvis | | Paget, Debra | | UPC: 024543048145 | | Musicals & Performing Arts : General | | Amazon.com Here's the alpha point of Elvis Presley's film career, the introduction of the raw-boned Mississippi boy into Hollywood pictures. E.P. takes a supporting role, and his entrance is delayed for nearly 20 minutes: kid brother to returning Civil War soldier Richard Egan, his character marries Egan's sweetheart Debra Paget when Egan is presumed dead. It's a chance for Elvis, his face still trembling with baby fat, to emote dramatically and finish tragically, both of which he does passably well. A serviceable Western, the film shamelessly shoehorns four Presley tunes into two sequences: E.P. crooning on mama's porch, and performing at a country fair (where starchy locals don't seem disturbed at the boy's gyrating hips and happy feet). All in all, a shrewd way to put a foot in Hollywood's doorway, and, of course, one of the last Presley movies to feel like a real film and not a vehicle for the King. --Robert Horton
DVD features Not much in the way of DVD extras, although a Spanish-language trailer is amusing. The main attraction is getting to see the movie in crisp black-and-white widescreen after years of panned-and-scanned TV showings. --Robert Horton | | | | Products related to "Love Me Tender" from Amazon.com | |
