About the Artist

Socially distanced, limited capacity screening.

This 1970 documentary, directed by Denis Sanders, captures Elvis Presley in one of the most intimate looks at Elvis captured on film. See the backstage footage from rehearsals to relaxing at the hotel leading up to his triumphant return to the concert stage after being absent for almost a decade. His series of Las Vegas concerts broke all box office records, became the stuff of legend and completely reenergized the career of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. This feature-length documentary and concert film features performances including “Love Me Tender,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Heartbreak Hotel” and “Suspicious Minds.” Crossing the footlights, revealing the legendary singer as a man preparing for an emotional career comeback are the fans who traveled from all over the world for this history-making event and electrifying live performance.
