The King of The Silver Screen:
1964 - 1967
Elvis is King of Hollywood! With formulaic scripts, foreign destinations that he never visited, and lots of Girls, Girls, Girls, the movies are becoming more of a chore and bore for Elvis. However, Elvis still a box-office draw to his devoted fans, even though he still has yet to find that serious role that he's been longing for. And, wedding bells are on the horizon for The King!
Anti-war protests, rioting, and assassination were buzzwords in a time when great change was spreading worldwide. From the streets of Memphis, to Vietnam through the Summer of Love and to the moon and back, you'll go on a musical journey with The King. Music from his famous 1968 Comeback Special, the soulful From Elvis in Memphis album, and his triumphant return to
