Loving You--Elvis Presley 1957

This was Elvis' second feature film and his first in color. It features Presley in top form, with lots of youthful energy and style. The musical performances are very well filmed, very colorful and very nice lighting to showcase the singer. Not only is it a good film to watch, but it also is a composite of the culture in the U.S. when Elvis first came on the scene. The girls screaming in the audience reminds us of the frantic-ness of those old television shows when fans of his just went out of their minds just upon seeing Presley. I really liked to see Presley perform, for he knew just what the audience wanted and gave them that. About the film itself, it is average. The story is predictable and the dialogue does lack the "spicy" flavor of most films of the era. The DVD release is very nicely remastered with all the color of the era jumping off the screen. I decided to buy this film because of the musical performances, the fact that I had not seen this film in several years, and because it is out of print in the U.S. At lease I have not seen it anywhere. This DVD was ordered from a Canadian vendor. Overall for the price and for the sheer presence of Elvis himself, the film is worth owning. I enjoyed it.
