Re: Love Me Tender -1956: Elvis' Debut Film.

As A huge Elvis fan, he does have some good films: Love Me Tender, Jailhouse Rock, Kid Gallahad, his last, Change of Habit, and his favorite, King Creole. His co-star in that film was Walter Matthau, who commented that Elvis was a very good actor. The beginning of the end was Blue Hawaii. After that film, they merely became like processed food. Elvis commented that he became physically sick lookking at the scripts knowing that his name and time would be attached to the picture. The problem was that his Tom Parker, his "brilliant" manager, signed him to a 25+ picture deal soon after he was signed to R.C.A., which locked him into being the cash cow that the movie industry found him to be.

I think that you could tell how much he liked the film by how he acted. If you have seen Stay Away Joe, which is probably the worst movie I have ever seen, then you know what I mean.
