Elvis! Elvis! Elvis!

When Elvis Presley first went to Hollywood in the late 1950s to pursue his boyhood dream of becoming a matinee idol, most cultural forecasters believed he would be the next James Dean. Although Presley did become one of the top box-office draws of the 1960s, his movies rarely rose above the trivial. Nonetheless, the King's cinematic legacy is an important part of postwar culture in the United States, and Elvis! Elvis! Elvis! celebrates this legacy in star-studded, Technicolor fashion.

Illustrated throughout with movie posters, film stills, and candid behind-the-scenes photographs of the King, Elvis! Elvis! Elvis! is a blockbuster celebration of Elvis Presley's movies.
