Did you know that, before "Escape from New York" or "Big Trouble in Little China," the first time the famed director-actor team of John Carpenter and Kurt Russell worked together was on this 1979 biopic broadcast on ABC?! Well, Elvis fans sure do—this chronicling of the King’s life from his impoverished Tupelo beginnings through his meteoric rise to stardom to his triumphant return to Las Vegas in 1969 has been at the top of Elvis fan’s wish list for a very long time! Includes commentary by Ronnie McDowell, who sang Elvis’ songs for the movie, plus rare Presley clips from "American Bandstand." 1979/color/170 min/NR/fullscreen.
