1
00:00:05,545 --> 00:00:09,088
Oh, let our love survive
2
00:00:10,652 --> 00:00:14,258
I'll dry the tears
from your eyes
3
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:20,297
Let's don't let
a good thing die
4
00:00:36,249 --> 00:00:38,843
Snowman's coming
5
00:00:39,820 --> 00:00:42,711
Yes, he's coming
6
00:00:42,847 --> 00:00:47,518
He'll take you by the hand
7
00:00:47,654 --> 00:00:50,255
He'll say one, two, three
8
00:00:51,755 --> 00:00:53,825
And you will be...
9
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:59,931
In cotton candy land
10
00:01:00,066 --> 00:01:02,037
For those of you
who are wondering,
11
00:01:02,173 --> 00:01:05,277
who this fella here is,
12
00:01:05,412 --> 00:01:10,908
I am the legendary
Colonel Tom Parker.
13
00:01:23,555 --> 00:01:25,629
Colonel Tom Parker,
legendary manager
14
00:01:25,765 --> 00:01:29,634
of Elvis Presley, has been
rushed to Valley Hospital.
15
00:01:29,769 --> 00:01:34,232
I am the man who
gave the world Elvis Presley.
16
00:01:36,609 --> 00:01:42,176
Without me, there would be
no Elvis Presley.
17
00:01:42,312 --> 00:01:44,106
And yet, there are some
18
00:01:44,242 --> 00:01:47,577
who'd make me out
to be the villain
19
00:01:47,713 --> 00:01:49,353
of this here story.
20
00:02:04,466 --> 00:02:09,034
Colonel Tom Parker
was a liar, a cheat, a con man.
21
00:02:09,170 --> 00:02:12,508
A shocking new book
accuses Colonel Tom Parker
22
00:02:12,644 --> 00:02:15,137
of massive fraud
and mis-management.
23
00:02:17,847 --> 00:02:21,679
Parker received as much
as 50% of Elvis' income.
24
00:02:21,814 --> 00:02:23,553
He worked Elvis like a mule,
25
00:02:23,688 --> 00:02:25,447
to support his own
gambling addiction.
26
00:02:25,583 --> 00:02:27,225
The court finds
that the compensation received
27
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,294
by Colonel Parker
was excessive,
28
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:31,123
and shocked the conscience
of the court.
29
00:02:31,258 --> 00:02:32,893
Many believe
that Colonel Tom Parker
30
00:02:33,029 --> 00:02:35,861
was responsible for the death
of Elvis Presley.
31
00:02:37,632 --> 00:02:39,161
Now, you listen to me.
32
00:02:39,297 --> 00:02:42,336
The only thing that matters
is that that man
33
00:02:42,472 --> 00:02:44,837
gets up on that stage tonight.
34
00:03:34,721 --> 00:03:41,630
Glory, glory, hallelujah
35
00:03:42,795 --> 00:03:49,737
His truth is marching on
36
00:03:53,872 --> 00:04:00,781
His truth is marching on
37
00:04:07,353 --> 00:04:10,257
Tom Parker killed him!
38
00:04:10,393 --> 00:04:13,457
No! That's not true.
39
00:04:26,278 --> 00:04:30,613
No, no, I didn't kill him.
40
00:04:33,284 --> 00:04:35,519
I made Elvis Presley.
41
00:04:38,156 --> 00:04:41,653
Nothing all those muckrakers
said in their books was true.
42
00:04:41,789 --> 00:04:44,254
Me and Elvis, we was partners.
43
00:04:44,389 --> 00:04:50,293
It was Elvis the Showman
and the Colonel the Snowman.
44
00:04:50,429 --> 00:04:52,197
This is the lying Dutchman.
45
00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:55,463
I always knew I was
destined for greatness.
46
00:04:55,599 --> 00:04:58,334
As an orphan,
I ran away to the carnival,
47
00:04:58,469 --> 00:05:01,373
where I learned the art
of the "snow job,"
48
00:05:01,508 --> 00:05:04,581
of emptying a rube's wallet
while leaving them with nothing
49
00:05:04,717 --> 00:05:07,210
-but a smile on their face.
50
00:05:07,346 --> 00:05:09,053
But a carnival act
that would get you
51
00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:11,754
the most money, the most snow,
52
00:05:11,889 --> 00:05:15,324
had great costumes
and a unique trick,
53
00:05:15,459 --> 00:05:17,253
that gave the audience feelings
54
00:05:17,389 --> 00:05:20,657
they weren't sure
they should enjoy.
55
00:05:20,792 --> 00:05:22,732
But they do.
56
00:05:22,867 --> 00:05:27,929
And I knew if I could
find such an act,
57
00:05:28,065 --> 00:05:31,908
I could create the greatest...
58
00:05:32,044 --> 00:05:33,372
show...
59
00:05:33,507 --> 00:05:34,512
on...
60
00:05:35,409 --> 00:05:38,047
earth.
61
00:05:38,182 --> 00:05:41,516
After the carnival, I moved
into the music business...
62
00:05:41,651 --> 00:05:44,251
the country music business.
63
00:05:44,386 --> 00:05:48,723
I partnered with one of its
biggest stars, Hank Snow.
64
00:05:48,858 --> 00:05:54,395
Pardon me
if I'm sentimental
65
00:05:54,531 --> 00:05:56,833
When we say goodbye
66
00:05:56,969 --> 00:06:01,203
And his hapless son,
Jimmie Rodgers Snow.
67
00:06:01,339 --> 00:06:02,272
Hot-diggity-dog, Billy.
68
00:06:02,408 --> 00:06:04,509
-I got one.
-Oh, yeah.
69
00:06:04,644 --> 00:06:07,244
Can't believe it.
Blow their socks off.
70
00:06:07,379 --> 00:06:09,605
Security. Security, Diskin!
71
00:06:09,740 --> 00:06:12,512
Tell the mayors of these towns
that we need a police escort
72
00:06:12,648 --> 00:06:14,212
for Hank when he arrives.
73
00:06:14,347 --> 00:06:17,354
In Baton Rouge, we are going
to have a carny wedding
74
00:06:17,489 --> 00:06:18,951
at the top of the Ferris Wheel,
75
00:06:19,086 --> 00:06:21,219
so, Zina, pick out
your next husband.
76
00:06:21,354 --> 00:06:23,758
In New Orleans, we're gonna
use the loudspeaker
77
00:06:23,894 --> 00:06:25,788
-to announce you, Hank.
-Oh, sure.
78
00:06:28,429 --> 00:06:29,627
...you are going to march
in the parade.
79
00:06:31,231 --> 00:06:33,096
Am I gonna be riding
on an elephant, too?
80
00:06:33,232 --> 00:06:35,269
A man on an elephant
looks important.
81
00:06:35,404 --> 00:06:36,605
And taller.
82
00:06:36,741 --> 00:06:38,070
We still need to get
a novelty act
83
00:06:38,205 --> 00:06:40,143
-to bring in the young folk.
-Well, yes, yes,
84
00:06:40,278 --> 00:06:42,944
that's why you have
a meeting with
the Duke of Paducah tonight.
85
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:45,275
If we can book "the Funniest
Mouth in the South,"
86
00:06:45,410 --> 00:06:46,648
we'll have the greatest show
of the season.
87
00:06:46,784 --> 00:06:47,876
Hey, Jimmie,
turn that record off.
88
00:06:48,012 --> 00:06:49,511
Y'all have to hear this.
89
00:06:49,646 --> 00:06:51,413
Kids all over town
are playing it everywhere I go.
90
00:06:59,232 --> 00:07:00,659
I hear Negro rhythms.
91
00:07:00,795 --> 00:07:02,468
But with a country flavor.
92
00:07:02,603 --> 00:07:04,928
Sun Records?
That's Sam Phillips' label.
93
00:07:05,063 --> 00:07:06,661
Oh, yeah, Phillips.
94
00:07:06,797 --> 00:07:09,540
He makes all those race records
with the colored singers.
95
00:07:09,676 --> 00:07:11,440
Well, this fella's
on the Hayride tonight,
96
00:07:11,576 --> 00:07:13,010
after me in the newcomer spot.
97
00:07:13,146 --> 00:07:14,669
In Shreveport?
98
00:07:14,805 --> 00:07:17,314
No, they are not putting
a colored boy on the Hayride.
99
00:07:17,450 --> 00:07:20,519
That's the thing. He's white.
100
00:07:21,152 --> 00:07:22,587
He's...
101
00:07:24,684 --> 00:07:26,152
He's white?
102
00:07:26,287 --> 00:07:27,658
What do you think,
Texarkana?
103
00:07:27,793 --> 00:07:29,519
Shall we play it
for the 27th time?
104
00:07:29,654 --> 00:07:31,262
Well, that's all right,
mama
105
00:07:31,397 --> 00:07:32,962
That's all right for you
106
00:07:33,097 --> 00:07:34,766
Shall we play it
for the 27th time?
107
00:07:34,902 --> 00:07:37,634
Everybody's talkin' 'bout
this new Presley kid
108
00:07:37,769 --> 00:07:39,970
That's all right...
109
00:07:40,105 --> 00:07:44,400
That's all right
That's all right...
110
00:07:47,641 --> 00:07:49,141
He's white?
111
00:07:54,813 --> 00:07:57,885
But it don't matter
if you do ten stupid things,
112
00:07:58,020 --> 00:08:00,922
as long as you do
one smart one.
113
00:08:05,791 --> 00:08:08,492
Welcome y'all
to the Louisiana Hayride,
114
00:08:08,628 --> 00:08:12,698
broadcasting live
to 26 of these United States.
115
00:08:12,834 --> 00:08:15,338
How do you think I feel
116
00:08:16,575 --> 00:08:20,107
I know your love's not real
117
00:08:20,242 --> 00:08:23,214
Well, the apple
doesn't fall far from the tree.
118
00:08:23,349 --> 00:08:24,915
Where is the Colonel?
119
00:08:25,051 --> 00:08:28,081
You have the fella that's
singing the "All Right, Mama,"
120
00:08:28,217 --> 00:08:30,687
that new record that's
on the Sun label, eh?
121
00:08:30,823 --> 00:08:32,717
-The pop jocks
keep playing him.
-Yeah.
122
00:08:32,852 --> 00:08:34,352
Country DJs, too.
123
00:08:34,487 --> 00:08:36,894
Even the colored kids,
they're buyin' his record.
124
00:08:37,030 --> 00:08:40,692
The colored ki-- Well, where
would I find such an act?
125
00:08:40,827 --> 00:08:42,194
The dressing room.
126
00:08:45,706 --> 00:08:48,503
-Oh. Howdy.
-Hey, Elvis Presley?
127
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:49,604
-Blue Moon Boys?
-Yeah.
128
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:51,236
-You're up next.
-Oh, sh--
129
00:08:53,545 --> 00:08:55,004
Excuse me. Bill, go time!
130
00:08:55,139 --> 00:08:57,240
I know, I know.
131
00:08:57,376 --> 00:08:58,812
-Hi!
-How's his stomach?
132
00:08:58,947 --> 00:09:00,311
I thought I'd grab him a Pepsi,
133
00:09:00,446 --> 00:09:02,346
but poor thing's still shaking
like a leaf.
134
00:09:02,482 --> 00:09:05,085
I'll get him on the stage.
Come on. Let's go.
135
00:09:07,426 --> 00:09:08,886
-Here.
136
00:09:09,022 --> 00:09:10,354
It'll settle your stomach.
137
00:09:10,489 --> 00:09:12,194
What if I forget
the words on live radio?
138
00:09:12,329 --> 00:09:14,591
All we gotta do out there's
just a bit of clownin' around.
139
00:09:14,727 --> 00:09:17,293
That's how we got this thing
started in the first place.
140
00:09:17,429 --> 00:09:19,064
Scotty and Bill are right,
Elvis.
141
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,639
You're not out there
on your own.
142
00:09:20,774 --> 00:09:22,434
-You boys are a band.
-That's right.
143
00:09:22,570 --> 00:09:24,098
The Lord gave us music
to bring people together.
144
00:09:24,234 --> 00:09:25,709
We're like a family,
145
00:09:25,845 --> 00:09:27,606
and family is the most
important thing of all.
146
00:09:27,742 --> 00:09:29,308
Amen.
147
00:09:29,443 --> 00:09:33,046
Come on now, Booby.
Jesse's shining bright tonight.
148
00:09:33,181 --> 00:09:35,782
Shining down his strength
upon you.
149
00:09:40,793 --> 00:09:46,097
Oh, I'll fly away
150
00:09:46,232 --> 00:09:50,969
Jesse, Elvis's twin
brother, who died at birth.
151
00:09:51,105 --> 00:09:52,761
Tragic.
152
00:09:52,897 --> 00:09:54,965
Vernon, come quick!
It's another child!
153
00:09:55,101 --> 00:09:58,472
My darling,
you'll have
the strength of two men.
154
00:09:58,607 --> 00:10:01,206
But when
my boy's daddy
passed a bad check
155
00:10:01,342 --> 00:10:02,544
and got carted off
to prison...
156
00:10:04,613 --> 00:10:06,147
...the boy and his mama had
to take one of the houses
157
00:10:06,283 --> 00:10:08,510
for white folks
in a colored neighborhood.
158
00:10:08,646 --> 00:10:10,118
New boy! Come over!
159
00:10:10,253 --> 00:10:12,147
But that boy
had a big imagination.
160
00:10:13,884 --> 00:10:15,520
He really believed
he was the hero
161
00:10:15,655 --> 00:10:17,524
-in one of them comic books.
162
00:10:17,660 --> 00:10:20,259
He was going to bust
his daddy out of the hoosegow
163
00:10:20,395 --> 00:10:24,198
and fly him
to the Rock of Eternity!
164
00:10:24,333 --> 00:10:26,861
Then he buys
his mama a pink Cadillac.
165
00:10:26,997 --> 00:10:29,174
Pink Cadillac?
What are you talking about?
166
00:10:29,309 --> 00:10:31,034
Hey, fools! Whoo!
167
00:10:31,169 --> 00:10:35,945
Ohh
168
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,074
Black snake
crawlin' in my room
169
00:10:39,210 --> 00:10:41,086
Come on, Doc, let's go.
170
00:10:41,221 --> 00:10:44,683
Them comic book heroes
all have them super powers.
171
00:10:44,819 --> 00:10:48,388
His was music.
172
00:10:48,523 --> 00:10:56,668
That's all right, Mama
That's all right with you
173
00:10:56,803 --> 00:11:03,665
That's all right, Mama
Anyway you do
174
00:11:05,474 --> 00:11:12,245
Ohh...
Black snake crawlin'
in my room
175
00:11:12,380 --> 00:11:14,852
Move, man. Hey, it's my turn.
176
00:11:24,354 --> 00:11:27,392
That's all right, Mama
177
00:11:32,395 --> 00:11:35,103
That's all right, Mama
178
00:11:51,254 --> 00:11:55,788
Oh, I'll fly away
Oh, Glory
179
00:11:55,923 --> 00:11:58,559
I'll fly away
180
00:11:58,695 --> 00:11:59,996
When I die
181
00:12:00,131 --> 00:12:04,029
When I die
Hallelujah, by and by
182
00:12:04,165 --> 00:12:05,232
What you doin'?
183
00:12:07,704 --> 00:12:09,138
I'll fly away
184
00:12:09,273 --> 00:12:10,533
-No more preachin', no more
-I'll fly away
185
00:12:10,668 --> 00:12:13,435
-No more pain, no more
-I'll fly away
186
00:12:13,570 --> 00:12:14,978
I'll fly away
187
00:12:15,114 --> 00:12:16,139
No more preachin', I'll fly
188
00:12:16,274 --> 00:12:17,407
No more pain, I'll fly
189
00:12:17,542 --> 00:12:18,881
I'll fly away
190
00:12:19,017 --> 00:12:20,610
Hey, fool, come back.
191
00:12:21,621 --> 00:12:23,921
No. He's with the spirit!
192
00:12:24,852 --> 00:12:25,982
It's all right.
193
00:12:30,891 --> 00:12:33,964
Ohh
194
00:12:34,099 --> 00:12:36,795
Black snake
crawlin' in my room
195
00:12:36,931 --> 00:12:38,531
Whoo!
196
00:12:38,666 --> 00:12:42,574
That's all right, Mama
That's all right with you
197
00:12:42,709 --> 00:12:44,475
That's all right, Mama
198
00:12:44,610 --> 00:12:46,471
Anyway you choose
199
00:12:46,606 --> 00:12:50,414
I'll fly away, oh, Glory
200
00:12:50,549 --> 00:12:53,548
I'll fly away
201
00:12:53,683 --> 00:12:55,649
Oh, away
202
00:12:55,785 --> 00:12:58,284
-Black snake crawling
in my room
-Hallelujah, by and by
203
00:12:58,419 --> 00:13:01,616
-Ohhh
- I'll fly away
204
00:13:01,752 --> 00:13:04,027
Elvis. Come on,
you gotta get on in.
205
00:13:04,163 --> 00:13:05,286
They've already announced you
on the radio.
206
00:13:05,422 --> 00:13:07,957
Folks are real excited.
207
00:13:08,092 --> 00:13:10,662
At Sun Records,
Sam Phillips was on a mission
208
00:13:10,797 --> 00:13:13,966
to save the world
by recording Black music.
209
00:13:14,102 --> 00:13:16,166
But it didn't sell.
210
00:13:16,302 --> 00:13:17,834
So to pay his bills,
211
00:13:17,970 --> 00:13:21,506
he needed to find a new singer
for his country act.
212
00:13:21,641 --> 00:13:24,406
I don't know what it is
you see in this boy.
213
00:13:24,541 --> 00:13:26,984
I just think he's different.
214
00:13:31,319 --> 00:13:34,090
How do you know
"Big Boy" Crudup?
215
00:13:36,592 --> 00:13:40,260
That's all right, Mama
That's all right for you
216
00:13:40,395 --> 00:13:43,869
That's all right, Mama
Anyway you do
217
00:13:44,004 --> 00:13:47,730
That's all right
That's all right
218
00:13:47,866 --> 00:13:52,633
That's all right now, Mama
Anyway you do
219
00:13:56,676 --> 00:13:58,876
He's a young singer
from Memphis, Tennessee.
220
00:13:59,012 --> 00:14:03,450
Got a song out
on the Sun label.
It's all over the radio.
221
00:14:03,585 --> 00:14:07,992
Give him a warm Hayride welcome
to a Mr. Elvis Presley.
222
00:14:27,277 --> 00:14:29,271
Elvis,
how are you this evening?
223
00:14:29,407 --> 00:14:30,915
Just fine, how you, sir?
224
00:14:31,051 --> 00:14:35,613
Greasy hair,
girly makeup.
225
00:14:35,749 --> 00:14:38,915
I cannot overstate
how strange he looked.
226
00:14:39,051 --> 00:14:41,059
Are you all geared up
with your band there to...
227
00:14:41,194 --> 00:14:43,327
-I'm all geared up.
-...let us hear your songs?
228
00:14:43,462 --> 00:14:46,061
Uh... well, I'd like to say how
happy we are to be down here.
229
00:14:46,196 --> 00:14:48,032
It's a real honor
for us to be...
230
00:14:48,168 --> 00:14:50,234
Get a chance to appear
on the Louisiana Hayride.
231
00:14:50,370 --> 00:14:52,798
We're gonna do a song for you
we got out on Sun Records.
232
00:14:52,933 --> 00:14:55,367
Uh...
233
00:14:55,503 --> 00:14:56,737
You got anything else
to say, sir?
234
00:14:56,873 --> 00:14:59,010
No. I'm ready.
235
00:15:04,781 --> 00:15:06,651
It goes...
236
00:15:06,786 --> 00:15:08,547
It goes something like this.
237
00:15:12,592 --> 00:15:13,623
Oh, baby, baby,
238
00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:16,054
Baby, baby, baby
239
00:15:16,190 --> 00:15:18,089
Baby, baby, baby
240
00:15:19,391 --> 00:15:21,494
Baby, baby, baby
241
00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:23,831
Baby, baby, baby
242
00:15:25,601 --> 00:15:28,534
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
243
00:15:29,434 --> 00:15:31,068
Get a haircut, fairy!
244
00:15:36,613 --> 00:15:39,183
In that moment,
in a flash of lightning,
245
00:15:39,319 --> 00:15:41,984
I watched that skinny boy
in the pink suit
246
00:15:42,119 --> 00:15:46,015
transform into a superhero.
247
00:15:46,151 --> 00:15:51,486
Well, you may go to college
You may go to school
248
00:15:51,621 --> 00:15:55,099
You may have a pink Cadillac
But don't you be
nobody's fool
249
00:15:55,234 --> 00:15:57,932
Now, baby
Come back, baby, come
250
00:15:58,068 --> 00:15:59,797
Come back, baby, come
251
00:15:59,932 --> 00:16:03,998
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
252
00:16:04,134 --> 00:16:06,039
Well, listen and
I'll tell you, baby
253
00:16:06,174 --> 00:16:07,577
What I'm talking about
254
00:16:09,981 --> 00:16:12,307
Come on back to me,
little girl
So we can play some house
255
00:16:13,579 --> 00:16:15,015
Baby, come back, baby, come
256
00:16:15,151 --> 00:16:16,344
Come back, baby, come
257
00:16:18,115 --> 00:16:19,624
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
258
00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:21,884
Wanna play house!
259
00:16:22,019 --> 00:16:24,319
-What are they hollerin' at?
-The wiggle!
260
00:16:24,454 --> 00:16:25,622
The what?
261
00:16:25,758 --> 00:16:26,827
Them girls
wanna see you wiggle.
262
00:16:26,962 --> 00:16:27,996
Move, man!
263
00:16:28,132 --> 00:16:30,026
-Do more!
-Much more!
264
00:16:30,162 --> 00:16:31,194
Man!
265
00:16:31,329 --> 00:16:32,669
Do it again.
266
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:38,869
Well, this is one thing, baby
That I want you to know
267
00:16:39,004 --> 00:16:40,737
Come on back
Let's play a little house
268
00:16:40,872 --> 00:16:42,172
And we can do
what we did before
269
00:16:42,308 --> 00:16:43,173
Now, baby
270
00:16:43,308 --> 00:16:44,176
Sit down!
271
00:16:44,312 --> 00:16:45,677
Come back, baby, come
272
00:16:45,812 --> 00:16:48,183
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
273
00:16:48,319 --> 00:16:49,881
What in God's sweet name
am I looking at?
274
00:16:50,017 --> 00:16:51,012
Hit it!
275
00:17:21,086 --> 00:17:22,714
What were you thinking,
Jimmie?
276
00:17:25,123 --> 00:17:26,322
I don't know what I'm thinking.
277
00:17:28,426 --> 00:17:31,556
Please, Lord,
don't let 'em hurt my baby.
278
00:17:31,691 --> 00:17:33,758
Hurt him?
Looks like they wanna--
279
00:17:37,064 --> 00:17:41,262
Baby, baby, baby, baby,
baby
280
00:17:41,398 --> 00:17:44,907
Now, I don't
know nothin' about music...
281
00:17:46,808 --> 00:17:50,079
...but I could see
in that girl's eyes,
282
00:17:50,214 --> 00:17:51,940
that she was having feelings
283
00:17:52,076 --> 00:17:54,913
she wasn't sure
she should enjoy.
284
00:17:55,048 --> 00:17:57,985
Black snake crawlin' in my room
285
00:17:58,120 --> 00:17:59,652
Yes.
286
00:18:02,724 --> 00:18:06,395
He was a taste
of forbidden fruit.
287
00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:11,301
She could've eaten him alive.
288
00:18:25,778 --> 00:18:29,145
Why are you trying
to kill my son?
289
00:18:29,281 --> 00:18:31,215
It was the greatest
carnival attraction
290
00:18:31,351 --> 00:18:33,186
I'd ever seen.
291
00:18:33,321 --> 00:18:35,819
He was my destiny.
292
00:18:35,955 --> 00:18:40,627
Right under my nose...
In Memphis.
293
00:18:43,096 --> 00:18:44,699
Top of the morning
to you, friends,
294
00:18:44,834 --> 00:18:46,998
from the home of colorful,
old Beale Street.
295
00:18:47,134 --> 00:18:50,300
The place where the blues began
in Memphis, Tennessee,
296
00:18:50,435 --> 00:18:52,706
Where you see pretty browns
dressed in beautiful gowns,
297
00:18:52,841 --> 00:18:55,446
along with tailor-mades
and hand-me-downs.
298
00:18:55,582 --> 00:18:58,010
Where you see honest men
and pickpockets skilled,
299
00:18:58,146 --> 00:19:00,752
and business never closes
till somebody gets killed.
300
00:19:00,887 --> 00:19:02,652
Now, just kidding.
301
00:19:02,788 --> 00:19:05,081
But there's a lot goin' down
on Beale Street tonight,
302
00:19:05,216 --> 00:19:07,348
and nowhere more-so
than at the Club Handy.
303
00:19:07,484 --> 00:19:09,224
Come around if you wanna see
Big Mama Thornton,
304
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,821
layin' down her newest hit.
305
00:19:11,957 --> 00:19:13,029
Get it, get it
306
00:19:13,165 --> 00:19:14,028
Get it! Come on!
307
00:19:14,163 --> 00:19:15,996
Oh, let's do it
308
00:19:16,131 --> 00:19:19,435
Now, listen up,
while Brown America speaks.
309
00:19:19,570 --> 00:19:23,965
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
310
00:19:24,101 --> 00:19:25,573
Quit snoopin'
'round my door
311
00:19:34,381 --> 00:19:38,885
Just why
a truck driver
from Memphis, Tennessee,
312
00:19:39,021 --> 00:19:42,651
liked to hang out
on Beale Street, I do not know.
313
00:19:42,787 --> 00:19:46,460
You told me
you was high class
But I could see through that...
314
00:19:46,596 --> 00:19:48,861
But it did him no favors,
315
00:19:48,996 --> 00:19:52,760
fitting into them
white housing projects.
316
00:19:52,896 --> 00:19:55,673
Hey, squirrel. Nice shoes.
317
00:19:55,808 --> 00:20:02,313
And, Daddy, I know
That you ain't
no real cool cat
318
00:20:03,178 --> 00:20:04,707
Hey, Elvis!
319
00:20:11,848 --> 00:20:13,625
Hey, Tommy.
320
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,590
That's that boy whose record
everybody's talkin' about.
321
00:20:22,402 --> 00:20:24,731
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
322
00:20:43,251 --> 00:20:47,624
Hey, sideburns.
Where's the Negro suit today?
323
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,193
He was crazy
for that Beale Street music.
324
00:20:52,329 --> 00:20:54,993
Beale Street style.
325
00:20:55,128 --> 00:20:58,398
He had Beale Street stars
in his eyes.
326
00:20:58,534 --> 00:21:00,397
What do you think, Tony? Huh?
327
00:21:00,532 --> 00:21:02,166
B.B. King.
328
00:21:02,301 --> 00:21:06,806
No, I didn't take my boy away
from nothin'.
329
00:21:06,942 --> 00:21:10,414
He was runnin'
from the day he was born.
330
00:21:10,549 --> 00:21:14,983
I just opened the door
to our destiny.
331
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,981
So without so much as
a word to your daddy and me,
332
00:21:18,117 --> 00:21:19,655
you quit your job
to go traveling
333
00:21:19,791 --> 00:21:22,025
all the way to Florida
with this Colonel fellow
334
00:21:22,161 --> 00:21:23,884
that we have never met.
335
00:21:24,020 --> 00:21:25,393
Mama, it's only four days.
336
00:21:25,528 --> 00:21:27,993
Yeah, four days.
And then what?
337
00:21:28,128 --> 00:21:31,530
I knew a fella once,
got his record on the radio.
338
00:21:31,665 --> 00:21:33,868
It was all over in a flash.
339
00:21:34,003 --> 00:21:37,000
Mama, I'm just trying
to take care of you and Daddy.
340
00:21:37,135 --> 00:21:39,005
That's all I have
ever cared about.
341
00:21:39,140 --> 00:21:40,708
I ain't ever gonna let us
get back to a place again
342
00:21:40,843 --> 00:21:42,103
where Daddy gets in trouble
with the law
343
00:21:42,238 --> 00:21:43,777
-to put food on the table.
-Elvis!
344
00:21:44,918 --> 00:21:46,142
How dare you?
345
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:48,351
As the good Lord warns us,
346
00:21:48,487 --> 00:21:50,850
do not wear yourself out
to get rich.
347
00:21:50,985 --> 00:21:54,823
Do not trust your own
goddamn cleverness!
348
00:21:57,626 --> 00:22:00,563
Elvis, you've upset your mama.
349
00:22:14,137 --> 00:22:15,809
You know, Mama,
I was thinkin',
350
00:22:15,945 --> 00:22:17,879
maybe I'll buy you one of them
pink Cadillacs
351
00:22:18,015 --> 00:22:20,077
like you saw back when
you was working
at the hospital.
352
00:22:21,254 --> 00:22:23,113
I don't need no pink Cadillac.
353
00:22:24,686 --> 00:22:27,049
Satnin, I just gotta be making
354
00:22:27,185 --> 00:22:28,857
the most of this thing
while I can.
355
00:22:28,993 --> 00:22:31,724
It's like Daddy says, this
could all be over in a flash.
356
00:22:31,860 --> 00:22:34,561
I'm not fearful
of it being over, Booby.
357
00:22:34,696 --> 00:22:37,565
I don't know how to explain it.
358
00:22:37,701 --> 00:22:41,463
But I saw it
in that girl's eyes.
359
00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:45,735
It's something beyond us,
but I know that whatever it is,
360
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:48,445
it's something that...
361
00:22:48,580 --> 00:22:51,173
It's something
that can come between us.
362
00:22:51,308 --> 00:22:54,582
-Oh, no, Mama, no. Hey.
363
00:22:54,718 --> 00:22:56,647
Ain't nothing ever
gonna do that.
364
00:22:56,783 --> 00:22:59,850
You're my girl. My Satnin.
365
00:22:59,985 --> 00:23:02,253
You'll always be
my bestest girl.
366
00:23:02,389 --> 00:23:04,126
Hey.
367
00:23:04,262 --> 00:23:07,125
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
368
00:23:07,260 --> 00:23:10,325
-I will call you every night.
369
00:23:13,404 --> 00:23:15,297
Will you promise me, Booby?
370
00:23:16,239 --> 00:23:18,232
I promise.
371
00:23:18,368 --> 00:23:20,773
I promise. I promise,
I promise.
372
00:23:20,909 --> 00:23:22,906
-All right. I love you.
-Bye, baby.
373
00:23:23,041 --> 00:23:24,574
Nothing but nothing...
374
00:23:24,709 --> 00:23:25,678
I love you.
375
00:23:25,813 --> 00:23:27,276
...is gonna come between us.
376
00:23:27,411 --> 00:23:29,414
-Let's go!
-Bye, Booby!
377
00:23:29,550 --> 00:23:30,950
See you soon!
378
00:23:31,784 --> 00:23:34,758
Wanna bet?
379
00:23:34,893 --> 00:23:38,056
Well, it's one for the money
Two for the show
380
00:23:38,191 --> 00:23:40,158
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go
381
00:23:40,294 --> 00:23:45,026
But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
382
00:23:45,162 --> 00:23:46,570
Well, you can do anything
383
00:23:46,705 --> 00:23:50,003
But stay off of my
Blue suede shoes
384
00:23:50,138 --> 00:23:52,840
Well, you can knock me down
Step in my face
385
00:23:52,975 --> 00:23:54,639
Your attention, please.
386
00:23:54,774 --> 00:23:56,272
I have some good news.
387
00:23:56,408 --> 00:23:59,507
Our next four nights
are sold out...
388
00:23:59,642 --> 00:24:01,277
...thanks to the dazzling
performances
389
00:24:01,413 --> 00:24:05,415
of our tremendous showman,
Hank Snow.
390
00:24:05,551 --> 00:24:12,520
Pardon me if I'm sentimental
When we say goodbye
391
00:24:12,655 --> 00:24:14,223
And I've noticed
a mild interest
392
00:24:14,358 --> 00:24:16,792
in our newest act,
Elvis Presley.
393
00:24:23,571 --> 00:24:24,772
Hi.
394
00:24:24,908 --> 00:24:26,473
Yeah, Dixie, I'll be back
before prom.
395
00:24:31,179 --> 00:24:33,947
Well you can burn my house
Steal my car
396
00:24:34,082 --> 00:24:36,554
Drink my liquor
From an old fruit jar
397
00:24:36,689 --> 00:24:38,612
Do anything
that you want to do
398
00:24:38,748 --> 00:24:41,019
Colonel,
what is that boy
doing on our tour?
399
00:24:41,154 --> 00:24:42,659
Well, I told you
all about him.
400
00:24:42,794 --> 00:24:44,753
And he wants to record
one of your songs.
401
00:24:44,889 --> 00:24:46,260
Oh? Which one?
402
00:24:46,395 --> 00:24:47,395
All of them.
403
00:24:47,531 --> 00:24:49,492
Well, you warn him plenty.
404
00:24:49,628 --> 00:24:53,795
None of those lewd gyrations
or sudden, jerky movements.
405
00:24:57,241 --> 00:24:58,543
Let's go!
406
00:24:59,639 --> 00:25:00,875
Let's rock!
407
00:25:09,117 --> 00:25:10,979
Is that a pair
of young ladies' intimates
408
00:25:11,114 --> 00:25:12,355
I see upon the stage?
409
00:25:12,490 --> 00:25:14,548
Yes, I believe it is, Hank.
410
00:25:14,683 --> 00:25:17,523
Best not happen
when he sings one of my songs.
411
00:25:17,658 --> 00:25:19,191
I'm sure it won't.
412
00:25:19,327 --> 00:25:20,597
Elvis, the papers say
there are girls
413
00:25:20,733 --> 00:25:22,160
around your hotel
all night long.
414
00:25:22,296 --> 00:25:23,895
I don't even go out, Mama.
I stay in.
415
00:25:24,030 --> 00:25:26,003
You know, it gets lonesome.
416
00:25:26,138 --> 00:25:28,464
I tell you, this
new sensation, Elvis Presley,
417
00:25:28,599 --> 00:25:30,441
he's breaking hearts
all over the South.
418
00:25:30,576 --> 00:25:32,038
Quit knocking at my door,
Scotty.
419
00:25:37,413 --> 00:25:43,588
Are you sorry
We drifted apart?
420
00:25:45,450 --> 00:25:48,549
Never know
How much I love you
421
00:25:49,726 --> 00:25:53,696
Never know how much I care
422
00:25:53,831 --> 00:25:56,924
When you put your arms
around me
423
00:26:00,770 --> 00:26:02,465
Oh, come on, E.P.
424
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,066
Life on the road ain't
the concern of folks back home.
425
00:26:05,202 --> 00:26:06,400
Fever
426
00:26:06,536 --> 00:26:08,236
Why don't you try
one of these?
427
00:26:08,372 --> 00:26:10,538
Put the pep back
into your step.
428
00:26:10,673 --> 00:26:13,211
What a lovely way to burn
429
00:26:15,086 --> 00:26:17,246
Well, shake,
rattle and roll
430
00:26:17,382 --> 00:26:19,585
I said shake,
rattle and roll
431
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,491
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
432
00:26:22,626 --> 00:26:23,752
Well, you won't do right
433
00:26:23,887 --> 00:26:24,823
Whoo!
434
00:26:24,959 --> 00:26:26,323
To save your doggone soul
435
00:26:26,458 --> 00:26:27,630
You're really
something else, man!
436
00:26:27,766 --> 00:26:29,095
I promise,
I'll put my heart in--
437
00:26:29,231 --> 00:26:30,466
-I wanna be just like you!
438
00:26:30,602 --> 00:26:32,163
Okay. Yeah, thank you.
439
00:26:32,298 --> 00:26:33,930
I can no longer,
in good conscience,
440
00:26:34,066 --> 00:26:35,295
go on stage with that boy.
441
00:26:35,431 --> 00:26:38,402
Yes, a conundrum. A conundrum.
442
00:26:38,537 --> 00:26:41,911
Please welcome
to the stage, Hank Snow!
443
00:26:42,046 --> 00:26:45,715
After I perform, I shall
spend the night in prayer.
444
00:26:45,850 --> 00:26:48,510
And I will do
what needs to be done.
445
00:26:57,559 --> 00:26:58,960
Come on, Jimmie!
446
00:27:01,327 --> 00:27:04,864
How do you think
that I feel
447
00:27:04,999 --> 00:27:07,495
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
448
00:27:07,630 --> 00:27:10,708
How do you think
that I feel
449
00:27:22,284 --> 00:27:24,546
That night,
I happened to see him.
450
00:27:25,289 --> 00:27:26,691
Alone.
451
00:27:27,655 --> 00:27:28,693
Lost.
452
00:27:31,762 --> 00:27:36,157
A snowman is only as good...
453
00:27:36,292 --> 00:27:38,399
as his attraction.
454
00:27:38,535 --> 00:27:40,199
Elvis!
455
00:27:40,334 --> 00:27:42,036
-Come on, man.
-Elvis, come on! Hurry up!
456
00:27:46,769 --> 00:27:49,242
It was all,
or nothing.
457
00:27:49,377 --> 00:27:50,774
Elvis, we're going
to the hall of mirrors!
458
00:27:50,909 --> 00:27:52,443
Wait up!
459
00:27:52,578 --> 00:27:54,417
Screw the hall
of mirrors. That's boring.
460
00:27:58,681 --> 00:28:01,522
Right, hang on.
Here we go.
461
00:28:04,593 --> 00:28:05,422
Hold on.
462
00:28:07,159 --> 00:28:08,898
All right, fellas. Come on.
463
00:28:12,330 --> 00:28:14,695
-Oh.
-Lost, my boy?
464
00:28:16,541 --> 00:28:18,237
Colonel Parker, sir.
465
00:28:20,910 --> 00:28:23,712
-You look lost.
466
00:28:23,847 --> 00:28:26,113
-I guess I am.
-Ah, yes.
467
00:28:26,249 --> 00:28:29,919
The roar of the crowd.
The life on the road.
468
00:28:30,054 --> 00:28:32,182
And then calling home
to your loved ones,
469
00:28:32,317 --> 00:28:34,324
pretending nothing has changed,
470
00:28:34,460 --> 00:28:36,893
when everything has.
471
00:28:37,791 --> 00:28:40,127
Yeah. Lost.
472
00:28:41,926 --> 00:28:44,460
I'm sorry, sir. I... I meant
I don't know the way out.
473
00:28:44,596 --> 00:28:49,135
Yeah, that is precisely
what I am saying.
474
00:28:49,271 --> 00:28:54,101
I... I saw you.
Apart from all the others.
475
00:28:54,236 --> 00:28:56,473
Burdened.
476
00:28:56,608 --> 00:28:59,278
Like you don't know
how to get out of this.
477
00:29:00,352 --> 00:29:01,742
But I do.
478
00:29:03,415 --> 00:29:05,048
Snowman's coming
479
00:29:05,183 --> 00:29:06,422
Allow me to show you.
480
00:29:06,558 --> 00:29:09,426
Yes, he's coming
481
00:29:09,562 --> 00:29:13,994
Take his magic hand
482
00:29:14,129 --> 00:29:15,965
Creatures of the carnival.
483
00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:18,264
-And I am one myself.
484
00:29:18,399 --> 00:29:21,529
It's where I learned the art
of the snow job.
485
00:29:21,665 --> 00:29:23,039
-Snow job?
-Yes.
486
00:29:23,174 --> 00:29:24,807
It's like the trick
you do with the wiggling,
487
00:29:24,943 --> 00:29:26,501
getting all the girls
hyped up,
488
00:29:26,636 --> 00:29:28,208
empty their wallets
and leave them
489
00:29:28,343 --> 00:29:30,776
with nothing but the smiles
on their faces.
490
00:29:30,911 --> 00:29:31,975
I'm no trickster.
491
00:29:32,110 --> 00:29:33,911
Oh, yes, you are.
492
00:29:34,047 --> 00:29:36,243
All showmen are snowmen.
493
00:29:36,379 --> 00:29:38,113
It's a wonderful place.
494
00:29:38,249 --> 00:29:39,648
Nobody on the aerio.
495
00:29:43,524 --> 00:29:47,459
Your future, Mr. Presley,
blazing before you.
496
00:29:47,594 --> 00:29:50,835
Recording contracts,
television, even Hollywood.
497
00:29:54,331 --> 00:29:56,006
You're great, Colonel.
498
00:29:56,141 --> 00:29:59,239
You are the best person
I could ever hope to work with.
499
00:29:59,374 --> 00:30:00,872
You know, this is something
I ain't never
500
00:30:01,008 --> 00:30:02,845
said to nobody before...
501
00:30:02,981 --> 00:30:04,809
But I believe
I can be great, too.
502
00:30:04,945 --> 00:30:06,541
Oh, no doubt.
503
00:30:06,677 --> 00:30:09,648
But we could be
even greater together.
504
00:30:09,783 --> 00:30:14,858
But to achieve this, I need
to represent you exclusively.
505
00:30:14,994 --> 00:30:17,290
Exclusively?
Sir, I... I don't follow.
506
00:30:18,828 --> 00:30:20,055
What about Hank Snow?
507
00:30:20,190 --> 00:30:21,994
Hank. Yes...
508
00:30:22,129 --> 00:30:24,066
He sent me here to fire you.
509
00:30:27,838 --> 00:30:29,496
Hank wants you off the tour.
510
00:30:29,632 --> 00:30:33,075
So I will have to leave Hank.
511
00:30:34,375 --> 00:30:36,344
We will both have to
make sacrifices.
512
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,708
We will need a record label
with national distribution.
513
00:30:41,551 --> 00:30:43,085
RCA?
514
00:30:44,917 --> 00:30:46,755
RCA.
515
00:30:46,891 --> 00:30:49,487
Sam Phillips... discovered me.
516
00:30:49,623 --> 00:30:52,887
I know, but we have a way
to help Sam understand
517
00:30:53,022 --> 00:30:56,059
that it would be foolish of him
to hold you back.
518
00:30:56,195 --> 00:30:58,264
Every man has his price.
519
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,300
RCA does have
the distribution.
520
00:31:00,435 --> 00:31:01,429
I just need to know
that you'll
521
00:31:01,564 --> 00:31:02,830
still be with me as friends.
522
00:31:02,966 --> 00:31:05,001
Don't doubt that,
we're not going anywhere.
523
00:31:05,136 --> 00:31:08,669
Marion and I just don't want to
stand in your way, that's all.
524
00:31:08,805 --> 00:31:12,074
The world needs
to hear you sing, Elvis.
525
00:31:12,209 --> 00:31:14,480
Elvis Presley's
contract sold to RCA today
526
00:31:14,615 --> 00:31:16,580
for the highest price
in music history.
527
00:31:16,715 --> 00:31:19,185
Quite the payday
for Sun Records.
528
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,252
It's just business.
Show business.
529
00:31:22,388 --> 00:31:23,684
To achieve truly great things,
530
00:31:23,820 --> 00:31:26,095
one must make
truly great sacrifices.
531
00:31:26,230 --> 00:31:29,791
You will have to be free
of any entanglements.
532
00:31:29,927 --> 00:31:33,601
You see, my boy,
show business is snow business.
533
00:31:33,736 --> 00:31:37,603
And the fans need to believe
that you are always available.
534
00:31:37,738 --> 00:31:39,300
The Colonel says
that with all the publicity
535
00:31:39,436 --> 00:31:40,811
that's gonna be coming,
536
00:31:40,947 --> 00:31:42,971
he might have to
put it out there that...
537
00:31:43,107 --> 00:31:44,437
That...
538
00:31:44,573 --> 00:31:46,614
I don't have a girl.
539
00:31:50,114 --> 00:31:53,552
Then we will need
your parents' legal commitment.
540
00:31:53,687 --> 00:31:57,160
They may need a bit
of convincing themselves.
541
00:31:57,296 --> 00:31:59,162
Sam Phillips
is a good man we can trust.
542
00:31:59,297 --> 00:32:02,494
We don't know this Colonel
from a nail in a wall.
543
00:32:02,630 --> 00:32:04,458
Is there a lawyer
representing the family?
544
00:32:04,594 --> 00:32:05,733
Oh, unnecessary.
545
00:32:05,869 --> 00:32:07,467
I am of the firm opinion
546
00:32:07,603 --> 00:32:10,907
that family is the most
important thing in the world.
547
00:32:11,043 --> 00:32:13,633
In mind of that,
I have taken the liberty
548
00:32:13,769 --> 00:32:15,474
of making these contracts out
549
00:32:15,609 --> 00:32:18,680
in the name
of Elvis Presley Enterprises.
550
00:32:18,815 --> 00:32:20,048
A family business.
551
00:32:20,184 --> 00:32:22,849
And I was thinking,
Vernon -
552
00:32:22,984 --> 00:32:24,450
Business Manager.
553
00:32:27,818 --> 00:32:29,725
What do you think,
Daddy?
554
00:32:29,861 --> 00:32:32,128
Uh... Well, uh...
555
00:32:32,263 --> 00:32:33,991
-I like it very much, son.
-Ah!
556
00:32:35,992 --> 00:32:39,298
Mrs. Presley,
your son has a unique gift.
557
00:32:39,433 --> 00:32:40,868
It's as though
he has the strength
558
00:32:41,004 --> 00:32:43,330
of two men inside of him.
559
00:32:45,202 --> 00:32:46,705
You know, Colonel,
I would do anything
560
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,404
to make sure my mama and daddy
never have to live
561
00:32:48,540 --> 00:32:50,376
in no poverty ever again.
562
00:32:50,512 --> 00:32:53,976
Mama, it's gonna turn out
so, so good.
563
00:32:54,112 --> 00:32:55,316
Mm.
564
00:32:58,655 --> 00:33:00,024
Colonel, I wasn't fooling
when I told those other kids
565
00:33:00,159 --> 00:33:01,587
I was gonna buy 'em
a Cadillac one day.
566
00:33:01,722 --> 00:33:04,151
My boy, with me, you will
buy them two Cadillacs.
567
00:33:04,287 --> 00:33:05,557
Two?
568
00:33:06,961 --> 00:33:07,996
A hundred?
569
00:33:08,131 --> 00:33:09,228
-Two hundred.
570
00:33:09,363 --> 00:33:11,193
-A thousand.
-A million.
571
00:33:11,329 --> 00:33:12,564
An aeroplane.
572
00:33:12,699 --> 00:33:14,635
-How about a rocket ship?
573
00:33:14,771 --> 00:33:19,043
Well, maybe not a rocket ship.
My mama don't like me to fly.
574
00:33:19,178 --> 00:33:23,246
But me, I've always
wanted to fly. Fast.
575
00:33:23,382 --> 00:33:27,014
Faster than the speed of light
to the Rock of Eternity.
576
00:33:27,150 --> 00:33:29,245
What? To the Rock of Eternity?
577
00:33:29,381 --> 00:33:30,879
Captain Marvel, Jr.
578
00:33:32,056 --> 00:33:33,717
He's my favorite
comic book hero.
579
00:33:34,857 --> 00:33:36,586
He flies.
580
00:33:36,722 --> 00:33:38,557
Well, what about you,
Mr. Presley?
581
00:33:39,523 --> 00:33:41,527
Are you ready to fly?
582
00:33:42,460 --> 00:33:44,827
Yes, sir. I'm ready.
583
00:33:45,704 --> 00:33:47,027
Ready to fly.
584
00:33:55,237 --> 00:33:56,841
Uh, Mr. Presley,
585
00:33:56,976 --> 00:33:58,905
try not to move around
so much during the takes.
586
00:33:59,041 --> 00:34:01,283
If I can't move,
I can't sing.
587
00:34:01,418 --> 00:34:04,214
Well, since my baby left me
588
00:34:06,016 --> 00:34:09,216
Well, I found a new place
To dwell
589
00:34:09,352 --> 00:34:10,953
What is he doing?
We paid for this?
590
00:34:11,088 --> 00:34:12,854
It's down at the end of
Lonely Street at...
591
00:34:12,989 --> 00:34:14,698
It's a suicide song.
592
00:34:14,834 --> 00:34:17,393
...Heartbreak Hotel
593
00:34:17,528 --> 00:34:20,265
Them know-it-alls
said I'd backed
the wrong horse.
594
00:34:20,401 --> 00:34:22,602
But my boy knew teenagers.
595
00:34:22,738 --> 00:34:26,939
And that first record
changed everything.
596
00:34:27,074 --> 00:34:31,677
Well, it's so very hard to have
To leave the one you love
597
00:34:31,813 --> 00:34:35,042
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
598
00:34:36,786 --> 00:34:41,255
It's so lonely just sitting
And dreaming of...
599
00:34:41,391 --> 00:34:42,787
In a few short months,
600
00:34:42,922 --> 00:34:44,623
Elvis Presley has popped
out of nowhere.
601
00:34:44,759 --> 00:34:46,890
Everywhere he goes,
he causes riots,
602
00:34:47,025 --> 00:34:49,630
mountains of press
and rivers of money.
603
00:34:49,766 --> 00:34:52,126
It's another
gold record for Elvis Presley.
604
00:34:52,261 --> 00:34:54,963
This one giving him his first
worldwide hit.
605
00:34:59,406 --> 00:35:02,478
Mrs. Presley, look!
606
00:35:02,614 --> 00:35:05,808
Come on, Mrs. Presley,
let me show you
how to use this.
607
00:35:05,944 --> 00:35:08,117
Come on, hens! Come on, hens!
Come on!
608
00:35:08,253 --> 00:35:11,813
Come on! Outside!
Out of my house!
609
00:35:11,948 --> 00:35:14,455
Come on, this way!
Come on, babies!
610
00:35:15,319 --> 00:35:16,624
Dodger!
611
00:35:21,123 --> 00:35:23,023
-Go, Billy boy!
-Ya-hoo-hoo!
612
00:35:23,158 --> 00:35:24,967
I took
my boy's wiggling
613
00:35:25,103 --> 00:35:27,662
and put it in the movies.
614
00:35:27,798 --> 00:35:29,664
I took his name and face,
615
00:35:29,799 --> 00:35:31,505
and put it on all sorts of toys
616
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,676
and knick-knacks,
and called it...
617
00:35:33,812 --> 00:35:35,101
"Merchandise."
618
00:35:35,237 --> 00:35:37,610
Your face on every
conceivable object,
619
00:35:37,745 --> 00:35:41,147
including teddy bear, perfume,
plaster busts...
620
00:35:41,283 --> 00:35:42,478
Of questionable likeness.
621
00:35:42,614 --> 00:35:44,144
"The Elvis Presley Game."
622
00:35:44,279 --> 00:35:47,389
Something so everyone
can show their love.
623
00:35:47,524 --> 00:35:51,888
Grandma Dodger,
what is that behind your ear?
624
00:35:53,030 --> 00:35:55,056
"I hate Elvis."
625
00:35:57,064 --> 00:35:58,394
Huh?
626
00:35:58,529 --> 00:36:00,059
Yes. I hate Elvis.
627
00:36:00,195 --> 00:36:01,738
In my way of thinking,
"I love Elvis,"
628
00:36:01,874 --> 00:36:03,073
that's an easy sell.
629
00:36:03,208 --> 00:36:04,899
Those who hate your son
will do so
630
00:36:05,034 --> 00:36:07,640
whether we profit
from it or not.
631
00:36:07,776 --> 00:36:12,414
After all, what is hate worth
if it's free?
632
00:36:13,776 --> 00:36:15,384
Oh, yeah. I get it.
633
00:36:19,155 --> 00:36:20,657
Snowman strikes again.
634
00:36:23,092 --> 00:36:25,724
Merchandise,
promotion.
Diskin, what else do we have?
635
00:36:25,859 --> 00:36:27,364
-Necklaces.
-Necklaces.
636
00:36:27,499 --> 00:36:30,432
-Scarves.
-Oh, scarves. Yes...
637
00:36:30,567 --> 00:36:33,100
Mr. Presley
and Mr. King...
638
00:36:33,235 --> 00:36:34,434
regular peas in a pod,
639
00:36:34,570 --> 00:36:36,301
relieving me
of my finest threads.
640
00:36:36,436 --> 00:36:37,534
Must be some occasion.
641
00:36:37,670 --> 00:36:38,900
Mr. Lansky, it's Milton Berle.
642
00:36:39,036 --> 00:36:40,833
The whole of America'll
be watching.
643
00:36:40,969 --> 00:36:42,912
I don't watch television.
644
00:36:43,047 --> 00:36:44,246
So what's it gonna be?
645
00:36:44,382 --> 00:36:46,106
How you gonna
blow their wigs off?
646
00:36:46,242 --> 00:36:49,617
Well, the network
wants me to do a ballad.
647
00:36:49,752 --> 00:36:51,621
But I'm thinking about
cuttin' it up with "Hound Dog."
648
00:36:51,756 --> 00:36:53,115
Whoo!
649
00:36:53,250 --> 00:36:59,118
Elvis Presley, "Hound Dog,"
and Uncle Miltie.
650
00:36:59,254 --> 00:37:01,157
Strange things
are happening every day.
651
00:37:01,292 --> 00:37:04,065
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog, hound dog
652
00:37:04,201 --> 00:37:06,303
Cryin' all the time
653
00:37:06,438 --> 00:37:08,795
You ain't nothin'
but a hound dog
654
00:37:08,931 --> 00:37:11,374
Cryin' all the time
655
00:37:11,509 --> 00:37:13,134
Well, you ain't never
Caught a rabbit
656
00:37:13,269 --> 00:37:15,806
And you ain't
no friend of mine
657
00:37:15,942 --> 00:37:18,542
When they said
You was high classed
658
00:37:18,678 --> 00:37:20,911
Well, that was just a lie
659
00:37:21,046 --> 00:37:23,713
Yeah, they said
You were high classed
660
00:37:23,849 --> 00:37:26,112
Behold, tomorrow,
all of America
661
00:37:26,248 --> 00:37:28,418
will be talking
about Elvis Presley.
662
00:37:28,554 --> 00:37:29,520
My wiggling boy.
663
00:37:31,991 --> 00:37:34,192
Even as a little one,
he made me laugh so.
664
00:37:34,328 --> 00:37:36,128
He's so funny!
665
00:37:36,263 --> 00:37:38,302
You never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine
666
00:37:42,369 --> 00:37:44,836
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog,
a hound dog
667
00:37:46,441 --> 00:37:47,771
Cryin' all the time
668
00:37:47,907 --> 00:37:49,243
And, Senator,
for the next leg
669
00:37:49,379 --> 00:37:50,809
of your racial integrity tour,
670
00:37:50,945 --> 00:37:53,940
we booked the Overton
Park Shell in Memphis.
671
00:37:54,076 --> 00:37:55,808
What are they laughing about?
672
00:37:58,756 --> 00:38:01,985
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog
673
00:38:03,326 --> 00:38:05,786
Cryin' all the time
674
00:38:05,921 --> 00:38:07,998
Who the hell is that?
675
00:38:08,133 --> 00:38:10,296
It's that boy from Memphis.
676
00:38:10,432 --> 00:38:12,595
Elvis Presley.
677
00:38:12,731 --> 00:38:14,834
Cryin' all the time
678
00:38:14,969 --> 00:38:19,334
A white boy from Memphis,
moving like a goddamn--
679
00:38:19,470 --> 00:38:25,349
Is your heart
filled with pain
680
00:38:26,811 --> 00:38:29,379
Shall I come back...
681
00:38:29,514 --> 00:38:34,350
The obscenity and vulgarity
of this rock and roll music
682
00:38:34,486 --> 00:38:38,219
is obviously a means by which
the white man and his children
683
00:38:38,355 --> 00:38:40,489
can be driven to the level
of the Negro.
684
00:38:40,625 --> 00:38:42,525
The colored folks have
been singing and playing it
685
00:38:42,660 --> 00:38:45,026
just like
I'm doing it now, man,
more years than I know.
686
00:38:45,162 --> 00:38:46,533
Colonel Parker,
we called you in here
687
00:38:46,669 --> 00:38:48,329
to talk about this act
of yours.
688
00:38:48,465 --> 00:38:49,967
A petition
has begun circulating
689
00:38:50,103 --> 00:38:52,540
to bar Elvis Presley
from television.
690
00:38:52,676 --> 00:38:54,237
We've set up a committee
691
00:38:54,372 --> 00:38:56,910
to keep an eye on this vulgar,
animalistic rock and roll bum.
692
00:38:57,046 --> 00:38:58,741
Your style
of gyrating while you sing
693
00:38:58,876 --> 00:39:00,173
has been bitterly criticized...
694
00:39:00,309 --> 00:39:02,015
I don't feel I'm doing
anything wrong.
695
00:39:02,150 --> 00:39:04,080
We simply will not
advertise on any station
696
00:39:04,216 --> 00:39:05,852
that puts this delinquent
on television.
697
00:39:05,988 --> 00:39:08,683
Colonel, you put an end
to your boy's animal behavior,
698
00:39:08,818 --> 00:39:10,684
or we will.
699
00:39:10,820 --> 00:39:13,361
Don't worry, Senator,
my boy does what he's told.
700
00:39:13,496 --> 00:39:16,055
Tell me, dear
701
00:39:16,191 --> 00:39:21,702
Are you lonesome tonight?
702
00:39:25,869 --> 00:39:27,842
"Elvis the Pelvis."
703
00:39:27,978 --> 00:39:30,904
That's one of the most childish
expressions I've ever heard
704
00:39:31,039 --> 00:39:33,043
coming from an adult.
705
00:39:33,178 --> 00:39:35,111
Is Mr. Allen gonna cancel me
from the show?
706
00:39:35,854 --> 00:39:37,084
Yes.
707
00:39:37,219 --> 00:39:39,284
Yes, he is.
708
00:39:39,419 --> 00:39:43,427
He is replacing you with one of
the country's greatest singers.
709
00:39:44,853 --> 00:39:46,258
Mario Lanza?
710
00:39:46,393 --> 00:39:47,624
Someone greater.
711
00:39:47,759 --> 00:39:50,566
The new Elvis Presley!
712
00:39:52,533 --> 00:39:54,702
Yeah, I snowed 'em!
713
00:39:54,838 --> 00:39:57,370
You just have to put on
one of these tails here,
714
00:39:57,506 --> 00:39:58,971
can sing the "Hound Dog,"
715
00:39:59,106 --> 00:40:02,244
and it's a light-hearted,
sophisticated family show.
716
00:40:02,380 --> 00:40:03,607
I can't move in one of these.
717
00:40:03,742 --> 00:40:04,675
And that is the point.
718
00:40:04,811 --> 00:40:06,844
Mr. Allen agreed only as long
719
00:40:06,979 --> 00:40:09,313
as there is no wiggling
of those hips.
720
00:40:09,449 --> 00:40:11,754
I can't figure it out. My own
mother approves of what I do.
721
00:40:11,890 --> 00:40:13,488
Mmm.
722
00:40:13,623 --> 00:40:16,322
You have read the papers,
my boy?
723
00:40:16,458 --> 00:40:18,123
Yeah, I read the papers.
724
00:40:18,259 --> 00:40:20,596
The papers say that I shot
my mother and smoke marijuana.
725
00:40:20,731 --> 00:40:23,665
Your movement's
in the style of a Black man,
726
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,129
and you have broken
the segregation laws.
727
00:40:26,265 --> 00:40:28,263
So let's follow the plan.
It's a good plan.
728
00:40:28,398 --> 00:40:30,430
You do the Allen Show,
family style,
729
00:40:30,566 --> 00:40:33,007
and then tomorrow
we go back to Memphis and
730
00:40:33,142 --> 00:40:36,812
we snow them on the July 4th
Children's Charitable Concert.
731
00:40:36,947 --> 00:40:40,042
And we put this whole
unfortunate misstep behind us.
732
00:40:40,178 --> 00:40:42,550
Now, do you want
to go into politics?
733
00:40:42,686 --> 00:40:45,555
Or shall we stay
in show business?
734
00:40:48,290 --> 00:40:49,758
We want to do
a show the whole family
735
00:40:49,893 --> 00:40:51,786
can watch and enjoy,
and we always do.
736
00:40:51,921 --> 00:40:53,162
And at this time, it gives me
extreme pleasure to introduce
737
00:40:53,297 --> 00:40:54,997
the new Elvis Presley!
738
00:40:59,297 --> 00:41:00,668
He used to be so hip.
739
00:41:00,803 --> 00:41:02,531
He looked so silly.
740
00:41:02,667 --> 00:41:04,534
I mean,
he looked like a butler.
741
00:41:04,670 --> 00:41:05,904
I can't believe
he agreed to sing to a dog.
742
00:41:06,039 --> 00:41:07,203
-God damn it!
743
00:41:09,647 --> 00:41:11,010
He could've given us
some warning.
744
00:41:11,146 --> 00:41:12,882
I know how to do a skit,
I could've made it funny!
745
00:41:13,018 --> 00:41:16,510
The most stupid, embarrassing,
humiliating thing I ever did.
746
00:41:16,646 --> 00:41:18,152
Well, what the hell
do you want me to do about it?
747
00:41:18,287 --> 00:41:19,555
We're musicians!
748
00:41:19,691 --> 00:41:21,019
It's just embarrassing.
749
00:41:21,154 --> 00:41:22,315
Who does he think he is?
750
00:41:40,704 --> 00:41:43,603
She just went on
and on about the damn dog.
751
00:41:43,738 --> 00:41:45,906
And I said, "Neighbors
shouldn't speak like that."
752
00:41:46,042 --> 00:41:47,514
And then she said...
753
00:41:47,649 --> 00:41:49,413
I like the bit with the dog.
754
00:41:49,548 --> 00:41:51,718
It was the most embarrassing
performance of my life, Daddy.
755
00:41:51,854 --> 00:41:53,918
She wasn't the only one
who said it.
756
00:41:54,053 --> 00:41:55,722
-All the neighbors did.
-Oh, God.
757
00:41:55,858 --> 00:41:57,360
Those New York people
were using you
758
00:41:57,495 --> 00:41:59,059
to poke fun at the whole South.
759
00:41:59,195 --> 00:42:02,830
Getting a laugh out of putting
a hillbilly in a tailcoat
760
00:42:02,965 --> 00:42:05,296
-and singing to a dog.
761
00:42:05,432 --> 00:42:08,062
God damn it, Mama, it was
either that or I get canceled.
762
00:42:08,198 --> 00:42:10,104
Then that's it for television.
763
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,873
Colonel says I'm running out
of states that I'm welcome in.
764
00:42:13,008 --> 00:42:15,537
And they don't pay
unless I can perform.
765
00:42:15,673 --> 00:42:18,213
So Colonel says I play the
charity concert tomorrow night,
766
00:42:18,349 --> 00:42:20,707
as the new family style,
767
00:42:20,842 --> 00:42:23,579
then everybody calms down
and we get back on track.
768
00:42:23,714 --> 00:42:26,353
Someone's got to think about
keeping a roof over our heads.
769
00:42:26,489 --> 00:42:28,188
Roof over our head?
770
00:42:28,323 --> 00:42:30,958
We've always managed to keep
a roof over our head, Vernon.
771
00:42:31,094 --> 00:42:32,789
Mama, Daddy is
business manager.
It's his job.
772
00:42:32,924 --> 00:42:34,456
That's right.
773
00:42:34,591 --> 00:42:36,762
We was doing just fine
before that man came along.
774
00:42:36,897 --> 00:42:38,259
Colonel has got us all of this.
775
00:42:38,395 --> 00:42:40,831
I don't want all this!
You're unhappy!
776
00:42:40,967 --> 00:42:42,738
-I am not!
777
00:42:43,970 --> 00:42:45,834
You're losing yourself, Booby!
778
00:42:45,970 --> 00:42:47,637
Oh, hell, Mama, I--
779
00:42:47,773 --> 00:42:49,142
Satnin knows.
780
00:42:57,085 --> 00:42:59,781
The way you sing
and move...
781
00:42:59,916 --> 00:43:01,548
it's God-given.
782
00:43:02,925 --> 00:43:05,151
So there can't be nothing
wrong with it.
783
00:43:07,832 --> 00:43:09,758
Hey, I'm gonna ask cousin
about the movie.
784
00:43:09,893 --> 00:43:11,259
Hey, E.P., E.P.!
785
00:43:11,394 --> 00:43:12,699
Can we close down
the movie house
786
00:43:12,834 --> 00:43:14,097
and watch Godzilla tonight?
787
00:43:14,233 --> 00:43:16,531
Don't tramp mud
in the house, Billy!
788
00:43:16,666 --> 00:43:17,937
But you said
we could watch the movie!
789
00:43:18,072 --> 00:43:19,768
Get out! Get out of my
goddamn house!
790
00:43:19,903 --> 00:43:21,343
-You said
you'd take us!
-Tramping mud in my house
791
00:43:21,479 --> 00:43:22,772
and doing my damn head in.
792
00:43:24,273 --> 00:43:26,178
Mama, you ain't never happy.
793
00:43:26,314 --> 00:43:28,845
No matter what I do,
no matter how much I give you,
794
00:43:28,980 --> 00:43:30,412
it ain't never enough.
795
00:43:30,548 --> 00:43:32,981
And, I wish you would not drink
so goddamn much.
796
00:43:33,116 --> 00:43:34,584
It's not good for you.
797
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,088
Baby!
798
00:43:36,223 --> 00:43:37,617
-Put that back in the shed!
-Elvis, wait!
799
00:43:41,424 --> 00:43:45,163
Elvis! Elvis, come on!
Elvis!
800
00:43:48,136 --> 00:43:49,464
Here's Elvis Presley.
801
00:44:06,751 --> 00:44:09,221
This is
Rufus Thomas here from WDIA.
802
00:44:09,356 --> 00:44:11,989
You can catch B.B. King tonight
at Club Handy,
803
00:44:12,124 --> 00:44:13,862
with Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
804
00:44:43,922 --> 00:44:45,223
Hello.
805
00:44:48,993 --> 00:44:50,734
E.P.!
806
00:44:52,727 --> 00:44:54,738
-B.B.! Hey!
-Get over here!
807
00:44:58,508 --> 00:44:59,743
Have a good night.
808
00:45:07,718 --> 00:45:09,280
Thank you. Have a good night.
809
00:45:14,192 --> 00:45:15,154
Hello.
810
00:45:22,123 --> 00:45:23,096
Hey!
811
00:45:30,007 --> 00:45:34,107
Get him! Get him in here!
E.P.! E.P.!
812
00:45:36,342 --> 00:45:38,815
All right, all right.
Thank you.
813
00:45:38,950 --> 00:45:41,279
Wop, bop-a-loo-bop
Ba-lop, bom, bom
814
00:45:41,415 --> 00:45:46,087
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
815
00:45:46,223 --> 00:45:48,484
Got my mama going on
about the "Hound Dog,"
816
00:45:48,619 --> 00:45:49,958
and the Colonel's
got me wearing tails,
817
00:45:50,093 --> 00:45:50,755
and everybody wants
something different.
818
00:45:50,890 --> 00:45:52,156
Hey, listen, man.
819
00:45:52,292 --> 00:45:53,352
If you're sad
and you want to be sad,
820
00:45:53,488 --> 00:45:54,997
you're at the right place.
821
00:45:55,132 --> 00:45:56,795
If you're happy and you want
to be happy, guess what?
822
00:45:56,931 --> 00:45:58,433
You're at the right place.
823
00:45:58,569 --> 00:46:00,798
So just do me a favor...
824
00:46:00,934 --> 00:46:01,965
Let it all hang out.
825
00:46:02,101 --> 00:46:04,235
Let it all hang out, E.P.!
826
00:46:04,371 --> 00:46:08,176
-Let it all hang out, baby.
827
00:46:08,311 --> 00:46:10,737
She rocks to the east
She rocks to the west
828
00:46:10,872 --> 00:46:13,011
But she's the girl that
I love best
829
00:46:13,146 --> 00:46:15,284
Tutti frutti, oh rooty, uh!
830
00:46:15,419 --> 00:46:16,609
Hey, man.
831
00:46:16,745 --> 00:46:18,151
Tutti frutti,
oh rooty, whoo!
832
00:46:18,287 --> 00:46:22,649
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
833
00:46:22,785 --> 00:46:24,856
Tutti frutti,
oh rooty
834
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,494
Wop, bop-a-loo-bop--
835
00:46:28,765 --> 00:46:31,098
Whoo! Man, he's cuttin' it!
836
00:46:33,470 --> 00:46:36,697
Sister Rosetta found this kid
in the backwaters of Georgia.
837
00:46:46,779 --> 00:46:48,918
They should get the Colonel
to book him on Steve Allen.
838
00:46:53,152 --> 00:46:55,155
They would love his moves.
839
00:46:57,793 --> 00:47:00,321
Got a girl named Daisy
840
00:47:00,457 --> 00:47:02,531
She almost drives me crazy
841
00:47:02,666 --> 00:47:04,299
Got a girl named Daisy
842
00:47:04,434 --> 00:47:05,359
Whoo!
843
00:47:05,495 --> 00:47:07,860
She almost drives me crazy
844
00:47:07,996 --> 00:47:10,138
She knows how to love me
Yes, indeed
845
00:47:10,273 --> 00:47:12,541
Boy, you don't know
What she do to me
846
00:47:12,676 --> 00:47:14,669
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
847
00:47:14,804 --> 00:47:17,173
Man, he sings the hell
out of that song!
848
00:47:17,308 --> 00:47:18,904
I would love to record that.
849
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,212
If you do, you'll make
a whole lot more money
850
00:47:21,348 --> 00:47:22,881
than that kid
could ever dream of.
851
00:47:23,016 --> 00:47:25,416
Tutti frutti, oh rooty
852
00:47:25,552 --> 00:47:27,690
Wop, bop-a-loo-bop,
Ba-lop, bom, bom
853
00:47:40,997 --> 00:47:44,698
I'm a-workin'
on the building
854
00:47:44,834 --> 00:47:48,469
Workin'
on the building
855
00:47:48,605 --> 00:47:51,605
It's the new foundation
856
00:47:51,741 --> 00:47:54,981
The new foundation
857
00:47:55,117 --> 00:47:57,419
I'm goin' to heaven
858
00:47:57,554 --> 00:47:58,444
Yeah!
859
00:47:58,580 --> 00:47:59,747
Goin' to heaven
860
00:48:00,856 --> 00:48:03,185
To get my reward
861
00:48:03,321 --> 00:48:07,022
Get my reward
862
00:48:07,158 --> 00:48:08,364
Whoo!
863
00:48:09,834 --> 00:48:12,693
Ha-ha! That's all right.
864
00:48:12,829 --> 00:48:15,466
That's a nice ride
you rode up in tonight.
865
00:48:15,601 --> 00:48:18,198
It ain't like your ol'
big B.B. King bus.
866
00:48:19,806 --> 00:48:22,078
Big Red.
867
00:48:22,213 --> 00:48:25,510
Yeah, well, I can go where
I want, play what I want,
868
00:48:25,645 --> 00:48:27,742
and if they don't like it,
I can go someplace else.
869
00:48:28,952 --> 00:48:30,843
You've got to be
in control, man.
870
00:48:30,978 --> 00:48:32,913
You should have your own label,
like me.
871
00:48:33,048 --> 00:48:35,551
You don't do the business,
the business will do you.
872
00:48:35,687 --> 00:48:37,917
Man, I just leave all that
to the Colonel.
873
00:48:40,059 --> 00:48:42,225
So it's, um...
874
00:48:42,361 --> 00:48:44,429
It's his idea, this new Elvis?
875
00:48:45,528 --> 00:48:47,093
Listen, I don't get it, man.
876
00:48:47,228 --> 00:48:49,668
Cats buy your records
because they like what you do,
877
00:48:49,804 --> 00:48:53,506
not because you're dressed up
like some... like some butler.
878
00:48:53,642 --> 00:48:55,977
You really think those kids
want to see Elvis the butler
879
00:48:56,113 --> 00:48:57,339
at the Russwood Park
gig tomorrow?
880
00:48:57,475 --> 00:48:58,971
Man, I ain't wearing no tails.
881
00:48:59,106 --> 00:49:02,878
I just...
gotta lay off the moves,
is all.
882
00:49:03,014 --> 00:49:05,485
Colonel says if I don't,
they're gonna put me in jail.
883
00:49:09,451 --> 00:49:11,322
Come on, man.
884
00:49:11,458 --> 00:49:13,020
They're not gonna
put you in jail.
885
00:49:13,156 --> 00:49:14,653
They might put me in jail
for walking across the street,
886
00:49:14,789 --> 00:49:16,297
but you're a famous white boy.
887
00:49:16,432 --> 00:49:18,633
Too many people are making
too much money off of you
888
00:49:18,769 --> 00:49:20,293
to put you in jail.
889
00:49:20,429 --> 00:49:21,195
You think so?
890
00:49:21,330 --> 00:49:23,503
I know so.
891
00:49:23,639 --> 00:49:28,705
Colonel's a smart man.
There's gotta be
another reason.
892
00:49:31,682 --> 00:49:34,580
Every day, yes
893
00:49:34,715 --> 00:49:38,646
There are strange things
Happening every day
894
00:49:38,782 --> 00:49:41,486
Hey, Elvis, B.B.!
Give us a smile.
895
00:49:44,321 --> 00:49:46,361
Every day
896
00:49:46,497 --> 00:49:48,857
You promised us
a new Elvis, Colonel.
897
00:49:48,993 --> 00:49:52,894
Yet, here he is with this
B.B. King at Club Handy,
898
00:49:53,029 --> 00:49:56,061
jiggling and wiggling
with Billy Ward, and here,
899
00:49:56,197 --> 00:49:59,405
on Colored Night
at the Memphis Fairgrounds.
900
00:49:59,540 --> 00:50:01,106
We've been poking
into your background,
901
00:50:01,242 --> 00:50:02,777
and we've found your records.
902
00:50:02,913 --> 00:50:05,077
"Unfit for military duty."
903
00:50:05,212 --> 00:50:07,678
"Acute psychopathic state."
904
00:50:07,813 --> 00:50:12,517
Well... I was pretending
to be crazy. I wanted out.
905
00:50:12,653 --> 00:50:15,049
I was just a boy
from Huntington, West Virginia.
906
00:50:15,184 --> 00:50:18,388
Well, before the army, we found
no record of you at all.
907
00:50:18,524 --> 00:50:21,759
Every day, yeah
908
00:50:21,894 --> 00:50:26,960
There are strange things
Happening every day
909
00:50:28,534 --> 00:50:31,602
Every day
Are so strange
910
00:50:31,738 --> 00:50:34,474
Every day
People are stealing the planes
911
00:50:34,609 --> 00:50:37,908
Oh! There are strange
Things happening
912
00:50:38,043 --> 00:50:42,379
Every day
Oh, ain't that
strange, every day
913
00:50:44,318 --> 00:50:47,290
Every day, yes
914
00:50:47,425 --> 00:50:51,952
There are strange things
Happening every day
915
00:50:53,893 --> 00:50:56,761
While 10,000 screaming
fans were cramming in
916
00:50:56,896 --> 00:50:59,267
to see our show,
Senator Eastland was holding
917
00:50:59,403 --> 00:51:02,468
a segregationist rally
just three miles away.
918
00:51:05,739 --> 00:51:08,338
The mayor loved you
on the Steve Allen Show.
919
00:51:08,474 --> 00:51:11,047
All the important people did.
920
00:51:11,182 --> 00:51:13,248
What song are you going
to sing tonight?
921
00:51:14,115 --> 00:51:15,811
I've made no decision.
922
00:51:18,448 --> 00:51:19,881
I'll feel it.
923
00:51:26,792 --> 00:51:28,131
Pay no mind
to all the cameras.
924
00:51:28,266 --> 00:51:31,024
Those are our friends
in the vice squad.
925
00:51:31,159 --> 00:51:34,193
They don't mean nothing.
Ain't that right, chief?
926
00:51:34,328 --> 00:51:36,799
As long as you don't
so much as wiggle a finger.
927
00:51:52,388 --> 00:51:54,190
Oh, yes, sir,
good people!
928
00:51:54,325 --> 00:51:57,554
A big thank you
to Shorty Morgan's Dixie Dolls!
929
00:51:57,689 --> 00:51:59,721
But I know some of
the young people
930
00:51:59,857 --> 00:52:02,457
are very excited
about this next act!
931
00:52:04,695 --> 00:52:06,792
Jesse's with us tonight, baby.
932
00:52:06,928 --> 00:52:10,366
Play it smart out there, yeah?
933
00:52:10,502 --> 00:52:13,766
Well, stop talking about it
We're talking
about everything
934
00:52:13,902 --> 00:52:15,842
And do somethin' about it
935
00:52:15,978 --> 00:52:17,708
Elvis Presley!
936
00:52:17,843 --> 00:52:21,217
Strange things happening
Every day
937
00:52:23,651 --> 00:52:26,149
Just sing the nice song.
Smile the nice smile.
938
00:52:26,284 --> 00:52:27,652
No wiggling.
939
00:52:27,787 --> 00:52:29,682
Then we can get back
to our show business.
940
00:52:29,818 --> 00:52:32,085
And have fun, my boy! Fun!
941
00:52:35,366 --> 00:52:37,666
Oh, we want peace!
942
00:52:37,802 --> 00:52:39,768
We want peace!
943
00:52:39,904 --> 00:52:42,063
We oughta stop
talkin' about it
And do somethin' about it
944
00:52:42,198 --> 00:52:46,840
Oh, there are strange
Things happening
945
00:52:46,976 --> 00:52:52,908
Every day
946
00:53:11,502 --> 00:53:13,636
There's been a lot of talk
about the new Elvis.
947
00:53:21,541 --> 00:53:23,609
And of course, that other guy.
948
00:53:27,817 --> 00:53:30,450
You ain't
Nothin' but a hound dog
949
00:53:30,585 --> 00:53:32,079
Cryin' all the time
950
00:53:35,022 --> 00:53:37,253
...at his
command, both civil and other,
951
00:53:37,388 --> 00:53:41,260
to maintain public order,
and prevent crime and riots.
952
00:53:41,396 --> 00:53:43,057
He can use those forces...
953
00:53:43,192 --> 00:53:46,735
to prevent the racial
integration of schools,
954
00:53:46,870 --> 00:53:50,801
if this is necessary, under the
police powers of that state...
955
00:53:50,936 --> 00:53:53,408
There's a lot of people
saying a lot of things.
956
00:53:53,544 --> 00:53:55,137
...in fact, it is his duty...
957
00:53:55,273 --> 00:53:57,573
Of course you gotta listen
to the people that you love.
958
00:53:57,708 --> 00:54:00,613
...and prevent
turmoil
and strife within the state.
959
00:54:02,618 --> 00:54:04,412
But in the end,
you gotta listen to yourself.
960
00:54:06,722 --> 00:54:08,683
So I want you to know,
those New York people
961
00:54:08,818 --> 00:54:10,419
ain't gonna change me none.
962
00:54:12,387 --> 00:54:14,089
...the subversives who own...
963
00:54:14,225 --> 00:54:17,963
...control and dominate
the entertainment industry...
964
00:54:18,098 --> 00:54:19,597
-"Trouble."
... are determined...
965
00:54:19,733 --> 00:54:22,064
...to spread
Africanized culture...
966
00:54:22,199 --> 00:54:26,408
I'm gonna show you what
the real Elvis is like tonight!
967
00:54:26,543 --> 00:54:28,405
...influencing your children...
968
00:54:28,540 --> 00:54:29,812
to accept the Negroes.
969
00:54:31,372 --> 00:54:32,245
If you're looking
for trouble
970
00:54:32,381 --> 00:54:33,709
-No.
-What's going on?
971
00:54:33,844 --> 00:54:35,274
You came to the right place
972
00:54:36,817 --> 00:54:38,552
If you're looking
for trouble
973
00:54:40,158 --> 00:54:41,357
Just look right in my face
974
00:54:43,159 --> 00:54:44,789
I was born standing up
975
00:54:46,426 --> 00:54:48,530
And talking back
976
00:54:48,665 --> 00:54:54,595
My daddy was a green-eyed
Mountain jack
977
00:54:54,731 --> 00:54:58,931
Because I'm evil
978
00:54:59,066 --> 00:55:03,005
My middle name is misery
979
00:55:07,149 --> 00:55:10,210
Well, I'm evil
980
00:55:11,851 --> 00:55:15,358
So don't you mess
around with me
981
00:55:21,862 --> 00:55:22,996
I've never looked
for trouble
982
00:55:24,969 --> 00:55:26,501
But I never ran
983
00:55:28,204 --> 00:55:29,669
I don't take no orders
984
00:55:31,109 --> 00:55:32,408
From no kind of man
985
00:55:34,606 --> 00:55:35,774
I'm only made out
986
00:55:37,676 --> 00:55:38,941
Of flesh, blood and bone
987
00:55:39,077 --> 00:55:42,612
But if you're gonna
Start a rumble
988
00:55:42,748 --> 00:55:45,877
Don't you try it on alone
989
00:55:46,013 --> 00:55:49,249
Because I'm evil
990
00:55:50,326 --> 00:55:53,554
My middle name is misery
991
00:55:57,329 --> 00:55:58,361
Elvis!
992
00:55:58,497 --> 00:56:02,933
Well, I'm evil
993
00:56:03,068 --> 00:56:05,673
So don't you
mess around with me
994
00:56:09,611 --> 00:56:12,206
I'm evil, evil
evil as can be
995
00:56:13,550 --> 00:56:16,149
I'm evil
evil, evil as can be
996
00:56:17,386 --> 00:56:18,615
So don't mess around
997
00:56:18,751 --> 00:56:20,654
Don't mess around with me
998
00:56:21,552 --> 00:56:23,123
I'm evil
999
00:56:24,192 --> 00:56:25,351
I'm evil
1000
00:56:26,495 --> 00:56:30,061
Evil, evil
1001
00:56:30,197 --> 00:56:33,902
Uh, now would be a good time
to get back into the car.
1002
00:56:34,037 --> 00:56:36,134
I'm evil
1003
00:56:36,270 --> 00:56:37,506
Evil
1004
00:56:38,140 --> 00:56:39,970
Evil
1005
00:56:42,970 --> 00:56:46,108
Our friends at RCA
are not gonna
be happy when they see this.
1006
00:57:01,455 --> 00:57:03,499
He didn't listen
to me.
1007
00:57:04,896 --> 00:57:06,301
-Why?
1008
00:57:06,436 --> 00:57:09,599
Why didn't he listen to me?
1009
00:57:09,735 --> 00:57:12,134
I'm evil
1010
00:57:13,970 --> 00:57:15,676
Get my boy off that stage!
1011
00:57:17,004 --> 00:57:18,045
...with me
1012
00:57:21,816 --> 00:57:24,811
Get your hands
off him. Hey!
1013
00:57:24,946 --> 00:57:26,951
Hey, Elvis!
1014
00:57:41,271 --> 00:57:43,300
Elvis!
1015
00:57:43,435 --> 00:57:45,964
Go look after the merchandise.
Look after the merchandise!
1016
00:57:48,542 --> 00:57:49,808
Elvis, come on!
1017
00:57:49,943 --> 00:57:51,408
Get off of me!
Mama, you get in the car!
1018
00:57:51,543 --> 00:57:53,212
Get in the car!
1019
00:58:02,591 --> 00:58:04,318
You're gonna get us in trouble.
1020
00:58:05,493 --> 00:58:07,055
He's all right, come on.
1021
00:58:07,191 --> 00:58:09,195
-Elvis!
-Scotty, come on.
1022
00:58:09,330 --> 00:58:10,357
Let's go.
1023
00:58:23,637 --> 00:58:27,074
My dear boy
had chosen.
1024
00:58:27,209 --> 00:58:32,018
You, his audience, his fans.
1025
00:58:32,154 --> 00:58:36,590
He had no idea
what he had done
to both of us.
1026
00:58:36,726 --> 00:58:38,254
We warned you, Colonel.
1027
00:58:38,390 --> 00:58:40,019
You've lost control
of this act of yours.
1028
00:58:40,155 --> 00:58:41,931
And he's dividing this nation.
1029
00:58:42,066 --> 00:58:46,360
There are a lot of people
who want to see him in jail.
1030
00:58:46,495 --> 00:58:48,604
I had to find
a way out.
1031
00:58:49,735 --> 00:58:51,607
A way to save him.
1032
00:58:55,269 --> 00:58:59,714
Crawfish
1033
00:59:01,415 --> 00:59:04,719
Crawfish
1034
00:59:07,552 --> 00:59:12,217
No. There's no way my baby's
going to Germany for two years.
1035
00:59:12,353 --> 00:59:16,159
It is either the army or jail.
1036
00:59:17,301 --> 00:59:19,228
There is something else.
1037
00:59:19,363 --> 00:59:23,067
Vernon, they are poking
into your background.
1038
00:59:23,202 --> 00:59:24,801
We don't have nothin'
to be ashamed of!
1039
00:59:24,936 --> 00:59:26,566
Now, my daddy is a good man.
1040
00:59:26,701 --> 00:59:29,809
Yes, yes.
But your papa did go to jail.
1041
00:59:29,945 --> 00:59:32,914
You know them,
and their flashy headlines.
1042
00:59:33,049 --> 00:59:36,977
"Elvis, The Draft Dodger."
"A Family of Delinquents."
1043
00:59:37,112 --> 00:59:40,211
There was no moon
1044
00:59:40,347 --> 00:59:44,049
We may never
book another date,
or sell another record again.
1045
00:59:44,185 --> 00:59:45,784
And my way of thinking,
1046
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,263
the army could be
a brand new start
for all of us.
1047
00:59:48,399 --> 00:59:50,164
Let them cut your hair.
1048
00:59:50,299 --> 00:59:53,431
Prove to the world that you are
a clean-cut, all-American boy.
1049
00:59:53,566 --> 00:59:56,496
You do your two years, and when
you come back, I promise you
1050
00:59:56,631 --> 00:59:58,136
I will have done
everything I can
1051
00:59:58,271 --> 01:00:00,971
to make you the biggest
actor in Hollywood.
1052
01:00:01,106 --> 01:00:02,744
You will choose
your own pictures.
1053
01:00:04,781 --> 01:00:06,243
-It's gonna be okay, Mama.
1054
01:00:06,378 --> 01:00:10,747
And I pulled Mr. Crawfish
out of his hole
1055
01:00:10,882 --> 01:00:12,613
Young Mr. Presley,
a rock and roller no more.
1056
01:00:12,749 --> 01:00:15,984
He'll do six months'
basic training at Fort Chaffee
1057
01:00:16,119 --> 01:00:18,053
before shipping off to Germany.
1058
01:00:19,962 --> 01:00:21,553
Since the day
he was born,
1059
01:00:21,688 --> 01:00:24,293
she had feared
losing her second son.
1060
01:00:27,871 --> 01:00:30,035
While he was
in basic training...
1061
01:00:31,101 --> 01:00:33,434
she worried and drank...
1062
01:00:34,938 --> 01:00:36,371
Worried...
1063
01:00:37,347 --> 01:00:39,009
and drank.
1064
01:00:47,115 --> 01:00:48,418
Hey...
1065
01:00:48,554 --> 01:00:49,758
Alberta!
1066
01:01:13,516 --> 01:01:15,808
Oh, no...
1067
01:01:15,944 --> 01:01:17,412
No!
1068
01:01:21,257 --> 01:01:25,884
There are some fine folks
from the press waiting outside.
1069
01:01:26,020 --> 01:01:30,862
A few questions, pictures,
and they will leave us alone.
1070
01:01:30,997 --> 01:01:33,868
I can't get him to do anything.
1071
01:01:35,365 --> 01:01:38,103
He trusted her
like nobody else,
1072
01:01:38,239 --> 01:01:41,843
and now she's gone
and who does he have now?
1073
01:01:43,874 --> 01:01:44,747
Well...
1074
01:01:46,343 --> 01:01:48,107
He trusts you.
1075
01:01:48,243 --> 01:01:50,247
Can you talk to him?
1076
01:01:51,386 --> 01:01:53,217
Oh, no.
1077
01:01:54,381 --> 01:01:56,247
It's not my place...
1078
01:01:56,383 --> 01:01:58,085
Can you do it, Colonel?
1079
01:01:58,220 --> 01:02:00,059
We need your help now.
1080
01:02:10,501 --> 01:02:13,100
Your daddy is doing
the best he knows how,
1081
01:02:13,235 --> 01:02:16,269
but he is overwhelmed.
1082
01:02:16,405 --> 01:02:18,576
He needs your help out there.
1083
01:02:18,711 --> 01:02:22,407
I can't go out there.
I just wanna stay here forever.
1084
01:02:22,543 --> 01:02:24,653
-Oh, my boy.
1085
01:02:24,788 --> 01:02:27,851
No one could never
replace her.
1086
01:02:27,986 --> 01:02:30,090
But you listen to me.
1087
01:02:30,225 --> 01:02:33,290
From this moment on,
anything she would have done...
1088
01:02:34,324 --> 01:02:37,261
I will carry out, in her name.
1089
01:02:37,397 --> 01:02:42,627
When you are overseas,
I will stay here at home.
1090
01:02:42,763 --> 01:02:46,105
And I will work,
and I will worry.
1091
01:02:48,136 --> 01:02:49,768
Trust me.
1092
01:02:52,081 --> 01:02:56,174
Now, you go and you stand
by your papa.
1093
01:02:56,309 --> 01:02:57,545
You comfort him.
1094
01:02:58,454 --> 01:03:00,348
You comfort him.
1095
01:03:00,484 --> 01:03:02,555
Comfort your friends
and your family,
1096
01:03:02,691 --> 01:03:04,725
and even your fans. Hmm?
1097
01:03:04,860 --> 01:03:08,193
Because if you don't do that...
1098
01:03:08,328 --> 01:03:11,157
all that your mama
has sacrificed for you
1099
01:03:11,293 --> 01:03:13,033
will be for nothing.
1100
01:03:17,136 --> 01:03:18,501
No matter what happens,
1101
01:03:18,636 --> 01:03:21,171
you stay with me
through thick and thin, okay?
1102
01:03:21,307 --> 01:03:24,475
You're like a...
like a father to me.
1103
01:03:59,577 --> 01:04:02,445
I needed
to protect him.
1104
01:04:05,721 --> 01:04:07,582
Even from himself.
1105
01:04:12,953 --> 01:04:16,927
My plan, Elvis Presley
would return
1106
01:04:17,063 --> 01:04:21,332
a clean-cut, all-American boy.
1107
01:04:22,834 --> 01:04:23,906
But...
1108
01:04:26,402 --> 01:04:27,701
...I did not consider
1109
01:04:27,836 --> 01:04:30,242
the most dangerous thing
of all.
1110
01:04:32,779 --> 01:04:34,709
Love.
1111
01:04:44,757 --> 01:04:47,193
Priscilla,
the pretty teenage daughter
1112
01:04:47,329 --> 01:04:50,724
of a United States
Air Force officer.
1113
01:04:53,198 --> 01:04:55,128
And then he said to me...
1114
01:04:56,865 --> 01:04:58,300
"You know what, Priscilla?
1115
01:04:58,436 --> 01:05:00,131
You gotta listen to me,
sweetie,
1116
01:05:00,267 --> 01:05:02,736
because this guy, he's got
girls all over the world, okay?
1117
01:05:02,871 --> 01:05:04,408
He's got girls waiting
outside of his house
1118
01:05:04,543 --> 01:05:06,338
and girls writing him
endless fan mail."
1119
01:05:06,473 --> 01:05:08,677
And then Mommy decides
to pitch in and go,
1120
01:05:08,812 --> 01:05:10,985
"Ooh, what could he possibly
see in you, okay?
1121
01:05:11,121 --> 01:05:12,883
What do you two do
up there all night?"
1122
01:05:13,018 --> 01:05:14,385
-And--
1123
01:05:16,354 --> 01:05:19,050
And I just said, "Mom, Dad...
1124
01:05:19,186 --> 01:05:22,396
we talk and we listen
to music, okay? That's all."
1125
01:05:22,531 --> 01:05:24,825
And then they were going on
and on about that photo of you
1126
01:05:24,961 --> 01:05:27,429
and Natalie Wood riding around
on that bike in Memphis,
1127
01:05:27,564 --> 01:05:29,930
and...
and then what I said...
1128
01:05:30,065 --> 01:05:33,306
And I said this really calmly,
I said, "Listen, okay?
1129
01:05:33,441 --> 01:05:37,639
He's just really lonely.
And quite frankly, so am I."
1130
01:05:39,779 --> 01:05:42,280
And then
they didn't really know
what to say after that,
1131
01:05:42,415 --> 01:05:45,752
so I went upstairs
and I went to bed.
1132
01:05:45,888 --> 01:05:48,314
Never met anyone like you.
1133
01:05:48,449 --> 01:05:49,618
Well, I hope not.
1134
01:05:51,996 --> 01:05:54,997
So... what
is Natalie Wood like?
1135
01:05:56,293 --> 01:05:57,790
She's nice, you know.
1136
01:05:57,925 --> 01:05:59,527
She's been writing me
about acting.
1137
01:05:59,663 --> 01:06:01,835
I've been asking her
stories about...
1138
01:06:01,971 --> 01:06:04,030
working with James Dean and...
1139
01:06:04,166 --> 01:06:06,307
God, I just hope to one day
be as good as him, you know?
1140
01:06:06,443 --> 01:06:07,372
Mmm.
1141
01:06:12,974 --> 01:06:14,779
Colonel's promised me
that when I get back
1142
01:06:14,914 --> 01:06:17,283
he's gonna set me up
in Hollywood
to be a serious actor.
1143
01:06:20,451 --> 01:06:23,884
That's really what I dream of.
1144
01:06:24,019 --> 01:06:27,224
Hey, E.P., E.P.,
now, you promised the captain
1145
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,821
that you'd get her home
by- 00.
1146
01:06:29,957 --> 01:06:31,763
Hey, Charlie.
What's that behind you?
1147
01:06:31,898 --> 01:06:33,398
What? No...
1148
01:06:34,628 --> 01:06:36,434
He don't boss me around.
1149
01:06:51,354 --> 01:06:53,748
You know, I think
if you dream it, you'll do it.
1150
01:06:55,283 --> 01:06:56,388
You do?
1151
01:06:57,824 --> 01:07:00,362
Yeah.
1152
01:07:02,226 --> 01:07:06,365
Shall I stay?
1153
01:07:08,167 --> 01:07:13,537
Would it be a sin
1154
01:07:16,042 --> 01:07:21,706
If I can't help
1155
01:07:21,842 --> 01:07:28,123
Falling in love with you?
1156
01:07:32,585 --> 01:07:34,286
You no longer
want to sing in your films,
1157
01:07:34,421 --> 01:07:36,496
is that right?
You want to be
a dramatic actor.
1158
01:07:36,632 --> 01:07:38,629
Well, sir, that's
my big ambition now.
1159
01:07:38,764 --> 01:07:41,795
It takes a lot of time,
a lot of experience.
1160
01:07:41,930 --> 01:07:45,802
He was
as good as Brando.
1161
01:07:45,938 --> 01:07:50,145
But you didn't want to see him
in movies where he didn't sing.
1162
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:51,779
A little less conversation
1163
01:07:51,915 --> 01:07:54,448
A little more action
1164
01:07:54,583 --> 01:07:58,586
All this aggravation
Ain't satisfactioning me
1165
01:07:58,721 --> 01:08:04,786
Thanks to me, his life
became one big Hollywood movie!
1166
01:08:05,962 --> 01:08:07,593
Starring Priscilla...
1167
01:08:07,729 --> 01:08:09,831
Bright light city
gonna set my soul
1168
01:08:09,967 --> 01:08:12,367
Gonna set my soul on fire
1169
01:08:12,503 --> 01:08:15,803
And a cast
of his "buddies" and "cousins."
1170
01:08:15,938 --> 01:08:17,798
His Memphis Mafia.
1171
01:08:17,934 --> 01:08:19,971
So get those stakes
up higher
1172
01:08:20,106 --> 01:08:23,904
There's a thousand
pretty women
Waitin' out there
1173
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:27,006
And they're all livin'
The devil may care
1174
01:08:27,142 --> 01:08:30,410
And I'm just the devil
With love to spare, so
1175
01:08:30,545 --> 01:08:33,155
Viva, Las Vegas
1176
01:08:34,787 --> 01:08:36,984
There was that
fairytale wedding.
1177
01:08:37,119 --> 01:08:39,853
And the honeymoon
on Frank Sinatra's jet.
1178
01:08:39,988 --> 01:08:44,159
And introducing
Baby Lisa Marie.
1179
01:08:44,294 --> 01:08:49,067
I made him the highest paid
actor in Hollywood history.
1180
01:08:49,203 --> 01:08:50,667
We had a lot of fun!
1181
01:08:52,174 --> 01:08:54,373
But Elvis was a young man,
1182
01:08:54,508 --> 01:08:56,870
and of course,
he got distracted.
1183
01:08:57,006 --> 01:09:02,008
So we made them faster
and cheaper.
1184
01:09:02,144 --> 01:09:03,848
Beatlemania sweeps America,
1185
01:09:03,983 --> 01:09:06,716
as teens turn their attention
to the teenage rockers.
1186
01:09:08,788 --> 01:09:11,219
Is it my fault
the world changed?
1187
01:09:14,994 --> 01:09:17,456
Good evening.
Dr. Martin Luther King,
1188
01:09:17,592 --> 01:09:20,532
the apostle of non-violence
in the Civil Rights movement,
1189
01:09:20,668 --> 01:09:22,962
has been shot to death
in Memphis, Tennessee.
1190
01:09:39,546 --> 01:09:42,280
New Elvis stinker
bombs, another flop.
1191
01:09:42,416 --> 01:09:45,789
There's no more appetite
for Presley pictures.
1192
01:09:45,924 --> 01:09:48,428
It don't matter
how hard I worked,
1193
01:09:48,563 --> 01:09:51,295
how many snow jobs
I came up with,
1194
01:09:51,431 --> 01:09:53,395
how much snow I made them.
1195
01:09:53,530 --> 01:09:55,766
My boy loved to spend.
1196
01:09:55,901 --> 01:09:58,401
And with them hillbillies
around him,
1197
01:09:58,536 --> 01:10:01,605
the money would just melt away.
1198
01:10:01,741 --> 01:10:04,309
With the sale of the ranch
and the horses,
1199
01:10:04,444 --> 01:10:05,806
that's gonna cover the payroll,
1200
01:10:05,942 --> 01:10:08,173
but as for the security
at Graceland...
1201
01:10:08,309 --> 01:10:10,076
Officers also reportedly chased
1202
01:10:10,211 --> 01:10:11,843
and fired on
a radio-equipped car
1203
01:10:11,979 --> 01:10:13,783
containing two white men.
1204
01:10:13,918 --> 01:10:16,083
Dr. King was standing
on the balcony
1205
01:10:16,218 --> 01:10:18,388
of his second floor
hotel room tonight,
1206
01:10:18,523 --> 01:10:20,361
when, according to a companion,
1207
01:10:20,497 --> 01:10:22,792
a shot was fired
from across the street.
1208
01:10:23,525 --> 01:10:24,726
Dr. King.
1209
01:10:24,862 --> 01:10:25,724
Uncle Vernon,
come quick!
1210
01:10:25,860 --> 01:10:27,065
He always spoke the truth.
1211
01:10:27,201 --> 01:10:29,033
What happened?
1212
01:10:29,168 --> 01:10:30,966
They rushed the 39-year-old
Negro leader to a hospital,
1213
01:10:31,101 --> 01:10:33,637
where he died of a bullet wound
in the neck.
1214
01:10:33,773 --> 01:10:35,200
Jingle, jingles...
1215
01:10:35,336 --> 01:10:37,540
Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
1216
01:10:37,675 --> 01:10:39,942
Right down Santa Claus Lane
1217
01:10:40,077 --> 01:10:41,982
Vixen and Blitzen
And all the reindeer
1218
01:10:42,118 --> 01:10:43,649
Pulling on the rein
1219
01:10:43,784 --> 01:10:45,853
Elvis Presley's
Wonderful World of Christmas.
1220
01:10:45,988 --> 01:10:47,012
Brought to you by
1221
01:10:47,148 --> 01:10:48,948
the Singer Sewing Machine
Company,
1222
01:10:49,084 --> 01:10:51,158
to every television set
in America.
1223
01:10:51,293 --> 01:10:53,190
It only takes three days
to tape,
1224
01:10:53,326 --> 01:10:54,292
and there's no audience.
1225
01:10:54,428 --> 01:10:56,158
Violence breeds violence,
1226
01:10:56,294 --> 01:10:57,926
-repression breeds retaliation.
-...Christmas sweater.
1227
01:10:58,062 --> 01:11:01,261
Made on the new Singer,
home knitting apparatus.
1228
01:11:01,396 --> 01:11:04,437
-Memphis is burning.
-...and to fear his brother.
1229
01:11:04,573 --> 01:11:07,002
When you teach
that he is a lesser man
1230
01:11:07,137 --> 01:11:09,674
because of his color
or his beliefs...
1231
01:11:09,809 --> 01:11:11,577
...dreaming
of a white Christmas,
1232
01:11:11,712 --> 01:11:14,806
because, oh,
it's definitely going to snow.
1233
01:11:14,942 --> 01:11:16,614
Christmas special.
1234
01:11:16,749 --> 01:11:18,682
Is this the best we can do,
Admiral?
1235
01:11:18,817 --> 01:11:20,779
Well, we took
the Hollywood phonies
1236
01:11:20,915 --> 01:11:22,347
for every nickel they had
1237
01:11:22,482 --> 01:11:24,754
and now it is time
for us to pack up our tents
1238
01:11:24,890 --> 01:11:26,786
and move on
to even greener pastures.
1239
01:11:26,922 --> 01:11:28,460
We've seen "Elvis the Rebel,"
1240
01:11:28,595 --> 01:11:30,332
we've seen
"Elvis the Movie Star."
1241
01:11:30,467 --> 01:11:33,967
Now we will see
"Elvis the Family Entertainer."
1242
01:11:34,103 --> 01:11:35,535
And appliance salesman?
1243
01:11:37,831 --> 01:11:39,769
What did you say?
1244
01:11:39,905 --> 01:11:42,303
Listen, Jerry,
I don't need you to question me
1245
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,506
about how I support my family
and every goddamn person here.
1246
01:11:45,641 --> 01:11:47,174
You understand me?
1247
01:11:47,310 --> 01:11:49,043
If you don't like it,
you can go back to Memphis.
1248
01:11:51,351 --> 01:11:52,915
Laugh it up, assholes.
1249
01:12:09,198 --> 01:12:10,670
What
a beautiful rendition
1250
01:12:10,805 --> 01:12:13,037
of "Here Comes Santa Claus"
that was,
1251
01:12:13,172 --> 01:12:16,478
with all the sparkle and magic
that the season brings.
1252
01:12:16,613 --> 01:12:18,513
And you'll be even warmer
this season
1253
01:12:18,648 --> 01:12:21,080
in a 12 gauge
cable-knit woolen sweater...
1254
01:12:21,215 --> 01:12:23,414
-Satnin?
-Hi.
1255
01:12:23,550 --> 01:12:25,580
...made right at home
on the Singer Sewer
SK155 home knitter.
1256
01:12:25,715 --> 01:12:28,218
And now, here's Elvis!
1257
01:12:32,285 --> 01:12:34,224
Can I watch the memorial
with you?
1258
01:12:34,359 --> 01:12:35,694
Yeah, baby.
1259
01:12:43,131 --> 01:12:46,206
I'm so tired of playing
Elvis Presley.
1260
01:12:46,341 --> 01:12:48,701
Too many people rely on me.
1261
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:53,708
I love you.
1262
01:12:53,843 --> 01:12:55,615
And your daughter loves you.
1263
01:12:58,281 --> 01:13:00,385
We don't care about the money
or anything else.
1264
01:13:00,521 --> 01:13:02,214
We just want you to be happy.
1265
01:13:02,349 --> 01:13:04,058
Lord, hold my hand
1266
01:13:04,194 --> 01:13:05,892
And don't let me fall
1267
01:13:06,027 --> 01:13:09,458
You're only really happy when
you sing the music you love.
1268
01:13:09,593 --> 01:13:13,495
Oh
1269
01:13:13,630 --> 01:13:16,894
Take my hand
1270
01:13:17,030 --> 01:13:19,803
Mahalia Jackson.
1271
01:13:19,939 --> 01:13:22,610
I used to hear her sing
at East Street Church.
1272
01:13:22,745 --> 01:13:25,973
Got a feelin' in my body
1273
01:13:26,109 --> 01:13:28,105
That's the music
that makes me happy.
1274
01:13:28,241 --> 01:13:33,719
This will be our lucky day
1275
01:13:33,855 --> 01:13:38,316
So when things are too
dangerous to say... sing!
1276
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:48,837
When Moses walked the children
out of Egypt land
1277
01:13:48,972 --> 01:13:53,339
He said "Now don't you worry
we're in the lord's hands"
1278
01:13:53,475 --> 01:13:57,310
I got a feelin' in my body
1279
01:13:57,446 --> 01:14:00,515
This will be our lucky day
1280
01:14:04,017 --> 01:14:07,981
We'll be released
from all our sorrow
1281
01:14:08,116 --> 01:14:11,218
Leave it layin' along the way
1282
01:14:19,497 --> 01:14:22,362
You gotta meet these
Binder and Bones guys, E.P.
1283
01:14:22,497 --> 01:14:23,667
They're the ones
that put James Brown,
1284
01:14:23,802 --> 01:14:26,300
the Rolling Stones onstage.
1285
01:14:26,435 --> 01:14:28,102
They're doing some
cutting edge stuff.
1286
01:14:28,238 --> 01:14:32,371
Mr. Binder, Mr. Howe...
thanks for coming.
1287
01:14:48,690 --> 01:14:50,889
When I first came
to Hollywood, I'd come up here
1288
01:14:51,024 --> 01:14:53,258
and sit for hours.
1289
01:14:53,394 --> 01:14:55,064
Right over there,
the observatory...
1290
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:57,905
that's where they shot
Rebel Without a Cause.
1291
01:14:58,041 --> 01:15:03,002
Man, I used to dream of being
a great actor like Jimmy Dean.
1292
01:15:03,138 --> 01:15:05,206
This sign was beautiful then.
1293
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,344
And now...
1294
01:15:09,480 --> 01:15:12,350
Feels as though lots of things
are like that these days.
1295
01:15:12,486 --> 01:15:15,414
Broke down, beat up.
1296
01:15:16,256 --> 01:15:17,251
Rotten.
1297
01:15:19,420 --> 01:15:21,354
I really like
what you guys did,
1298
01:15:21,489 --> 01:15:23,926
putting James Brown
and the Stones together.
1299
01:15:24,062 --> 01:15:27,493
We're, uh...
big fans of yours, too.
1300
01:15:27,628 --> 01:15:30,037
It's just that, Mr. Presley,
we don't usually--
1301
01:15:30,172 --> 01:15:31,434
Oh, Elvis.
1302
01:15:31,569 --> 01:15:33,003
Elvis, uh...
1303
01:15:34,634 --> 01:15:37,273
Christmas specials
aren't really our thing.
1304
01:15:37,409 --> 01:15:38,613
I know.
1305
01:15:40,514 --> 01:15:42,783
Tell me, honestly...
1306
01:15:42,918 --> 01:15:45,279
where do you boys
think my career's at right now?
1307
01:15:47,223 --> 01:15:48,915
Well, it's...
1308
01:15:49,051 --> 01:15:51,758
It's in the toilet, Elvis.
1309
01:15:57,399 --> 01:15:59,933
You hear that, Jerry?
1310
01:16:00,069 --> 01:16:03,264
Oh, Lord. I knew you were
the right guys for this job.
1311
01:16:03,399 --> 01:16:05,738
You know,
back when I was starting out,
1312
01:16:05,873 --> 01:16:08,269
some people wanted
to put me in jail,
1313
01:16:08,404 --> 01:16:11,569
even kill me,
'cause of the way I was moving.
1314
01:16:13,778 --> 01:16:15,342
So they cut my hair,
1315
01:16:15,478 --> 01:16:18,345
they put me in uniform
and they sent me away.
1316
01:16:21,324 --> 01:16:22,987
That killed my mother.
1317
01:16:26,186 --> 01:16:27,959
And ever since then...
1318
01:16:29,759 --> 01:16:30,995
I've been lost.
1319
01:16:33,430 --> 01:16:36,165
And when you're lost,
people take advantage.
1320
01:16:39,405 --> 01:16:42,600
I need you fellas to help me
get back to who I really am.
1321
01:16:43,874 --> 01:16:45,108
And who are you, Elvis?
1322
01:16:47,809 --> 01:16:49,845
I sure as hell ain't somebody
who sings Christmas songs
1323
01:16:49,980 --> 01:16:52,785
by a fireplace for an hour.
1324
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,382
And what
does the Colonel think?
1325
01:16:55,517 --> 01:16:57,791
I don't give a damn
what the Colonel thinks.
1326
01:17:13,006 --> 01:17:14,667
For this television special,
1327
01:17:14,803 --> 01:17:17,473
we've got this Bindle fella,
number one hotshot director.
1328
01:17:17,608 --> 01:17:20,378
Elvis will be humoring him by
doing a few of his fresh ideas.
1329
01:17:20,513 --> 01:17:22,077
Ah, the sweater!
1330
01:17:22,213 --> 01:17:24,809
To Mr. Presley's
dressing room, please.
1331
01:17:24,945 --> 01:17:28,314
We are going to sing three
spectacular Christmas songs
1332
01:17:28,450 --> 01:17:30,516
-in that very sweater.
1333
01:17:32,455 --> 01:17:35,486
Now, when that sign lights up,
what do you do?
1334
01:17:35,621 --> 01:17:37,061
-Applause.
1335
01:17:40,970 --> 01:17:43,329
"Silent is the Night"
and "Deck the Halls,"
1336
01:17:43,465 --> 01:17:46,807
and, uh...
"Whose Child Is This?"
1337
01:17:46,943 --> 01:17:48,841
You think
we can do some gospel?
1338
01:17:48,976 --> 01:17:50,510
Well, if you want
to find yourself,
1339
01:17:50,646 --> 01:17:52,243
first thing you do is go home.
1340
01:17:52,379 --> 01:17:55,778
Metaphorically, you know.
Get back to who you really are.
1341
01:17:55,914 --> 01:17:57,878
And what is the boy that--
1342
01:17:58,013 --> 01:17:59,551
-Oh, "The Little Drummer Boy"?
-Yes, "The Little
Drumming Boy."
1343
01:17:59,686 --> 01:18:01,251
Oh, the... with the...
1344
01:18:01,386 --> 01:18:03,287
We get your old band
back together.
1345
01:18:03,423 --> 01:18:07,186
But we are going to start with
"Here Comes Santa Claus,"
1346
01:18:07,322 --> 01:18:09,094
isn't that right, Mr. Bindle?
1347
01:18:09,229 --> 01:18:10,628
Uh, the Christmas specials
come later in the show.
1348
01:18:10,763 --> 01:18:12,130
Can you bring up two?
1349
01:18:12,265 --> 01:18:14,201
A leather jacket.
Raw, dirty.
1350
01:18:14,336 --> 01:18:17,363
Remember, ladies and gentlemen,
this is television, not radio,
1351
01:18:17,499 --> 01:18:18,969
so when that goes up
and you clap,
1352
01:18:19,105 --> 01:18:20,230
let's see it
on your faces as well.
1353
01:18:21,834 --> 01:18:23,036
But you need
an audience.
1354
01:18:23,171 --> 01:18:24,736
Audience?
1355
01:18:24,871 --> 01:18:26,674
-Bring it over to one.
- At any second now,
1356
01:18:26,809 --> 01:18:28,677
Elvis is gonna walk onto this
stage and perform just for you.
1357
01:18:28,812 --> 01:18:30,879
I ain't sang in front
of an audience in a long time.
1358
01:18:31,015 --> 01:18:32,413
That's my point.
1359
01:18:32,549 --> 01:18:35,553
Ladies and gentlemen,
here's Elvis Presley!
1360
01:19:13,586 --> 01:19:16,259
Well, since my baby left me
1361
01:19:16,394 --> 01:19:18,922
Well, I found a new place
To dwell
1362
01:19:19,058 --> 01:19:20,962
Well, it's down at the end
Of Lonely Street
1363
01:19:21,098 --> 01:19:23,431
At Heartbreak Hotel
1364
01:19:23,566 --> 01:19:27,034
Where I'll be
I'll be so lonely, baby
1365
01:19:27,169 --> 01:19:29,469
I'll be so lonely
1366
01:19:29,605 --> 01:19:33,442
I'll be so lonely
I could die
1367
01:19:33,577 --> 01:19:36,642
Well, the bellhop's tears
Keep flowin'
1368
01:19:36,778 --> 01:19:39,316
And the desk clerk's
Dressed in black
1369
01:19:39,452 --> 01:19:41,813
Well, they've been so long
On Lonely Street
1370
01:19:41,948 --> 01:19:45,592
Well, they'll never
They'll never look back
1371
01:19:45,728 --> 01:19:47,758
They'll be so lonely, baby
1372
01:19:47,894 --> 01:19:50,358
They'll be so lonely
1373
01:19:50,494 --> 01:19:52,763
They'll be so lonely
They could die
1374
01:19:56,166 --> 01:19:59,533
Well, that was... energetic.
1375
01:20:01,703 --> 01:20:04,335
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog
1376
01:20:04,471 --> 01:20:06,407
Snoopin' at my door
1377
01:20:06,543 --> 01:20:09,043
You ain't nothin'
But a hound dog
1378
01:20:09,179 --> 01:20:11,710
Cryin' all the time
1379
01:20:11,845 --> 01:20:13,478
Well, you ain't never
Caught a rabbit
1380
01:20:13,613 --> 01:20:16,220
You ain't no friend of mine
1381
01:20:16,952 --> 01:20:17,925
Come on!
1382
01:20:19,362 --> 01:20:21,355
Colonel...
1383
01:20:21,491 --> 01:20:23,561
Is "Here Comes
Santa Claus" next?
1384
01:20:23,696 --> 01:20:25,256
Absolutely.
1385
01:20:25,392 --> 01:20:27,893
I see no reason why not.
1386
01:20:28,029 --> 01:20:31,633
He's not in the swe-- he's not
even wearing the sweater.
1387
01:20:31,768 --> 01:20:34,733
Well, it's one for the money
Two for the show
1388
01:20:34,868 --> 01:20:36,835
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go
1389
01:20:36,971 --> 01:20:41,342
But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
1390
01:20:41,478 --> 01:20:43,549
I do not know
what is going on.
1391
01:20:43,685 --> 01:20:44,984
Singing "Hound Dog"?
1392
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:46,921
What does that have to do
with Christmas?
1393
01:20:47,056 --> 01:20:49,517
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Yeah
1394
01:20:49,652 --> 01:20:52,058
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Baby
1395
01:20:52,193 --> 01:20:54,025
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Yeah
1396
01:20:54,161 --> 01:20:56,025
Blue, blue
blue suede shoes
1397
01:20:56,161 --> 01:20:57,591
Well, you can do anything
1398
01:20:57,726 --> 01:21:00,033
But lay off of my
Blue suede shoes
1399
01:21:04,398 --> 01:21:06,096
Young man, you tell them
1400
01:21:06,232 --> 01:21:07,938
it's time for "Here Comes
Santa Claus." I said so. Now!
1401
01:21:08,073 --> 01:21:09,867
All right. First positions!
1402
01:21:12,676 --> 01:21:15,072
Warden threw a party
In the county jail
1403
01:21:15,207 --> 01:21:17,580
The prison band was there
And they began to wail
1404
01:21:17,716 --> 01:21:20,618
The band was jumping
And the joint began to swing
1405
01:21:20,754 --> 01:21:22,719
You shoulda heard
Those knocked out
jailbirds sing
1406
01:21:22,854 --> 01:21:27,224
Let's rock
All right, everybody,
let's rock
1407
01:21:27,359 --> 01:21:30,161
Everybody in the whole
Cell block
1408
01:21:30,296 --> 01:21:32,763
Was dancing to the
Jailhouse Rock
1409
01:21:32,898 --> 01:21:37,768
Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
1410
01:21:37,903 --> 01:21:41,738
Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
1411
01:21:43,041 --> 01:21:45,744
They were dancin'
1412
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:47,977
Well, they were dancin'
1413
01:21:48,113 --> 01:21:50,943
To the Jailhouse Rock
1414
01:21:51,079 --> 01:21:52,580
Hah!
1415
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:54,747
All right.
1416
01:22:00,862 --> 01:22:03,793
It's been a long time, baby.
1417
01:22:03,928 --> 01:22:05,494
A long time.
1418
01:22:21,944 --> 01:22:23,480
Well, I like a lot
of the new groups,
1419
01:22:23,616 --> 01:22:26,851
you know, the Beatles
and the Byrds, but,
1420
01:22:26,987 --> 01:22:29,848
a lot of it is basically--
1421
01:22:29,983 --> 01:22:31,989
rock and roll music
is basically, uh...
1422
01:22:32,124 --> 01:22:34,294
gospel or rhythm and blues.
1423
01:22:34,430 --> 01:22:38,330
Well, that's one thing about
this TV special that I'm doing,
1424
01:22:38,465 --> 01:22:41,164
they're gonna let me do
what I want to do.
1425
01:22:41,299 --> 01:22:43,361
Sing the music that I want.
1426
01:22:43,496 --> 01:22:45,039
Music that I love.
1427
01:22:47,568 --> 01:22:49,538
Music that makes me happy.
1428
01:22:55,749 --> 01:23:00,154
Those know-it-all
hippies had brainwashed Elvis,
1429
01:23:00,289 --> 01:23:02,816
acting like he was
one of them radicals,
1430
01:23:02,952 --> 01:23:05,682
throwing his career away
to sing spirituals
1431
01:23:05,818 --> 01:23:07,325
with a bunch of longhairs.
1432
01:23:15,362 --> 01:23:17,062
Bindle...
1433
01:23:17,198 --> 01:23:18,605
-Cue the gospel number now. Go.
-"Here Comes Santa Claus."
1434
01:23:18,741 --> 01:23:20,598
Up above my head
1435
01:23:22,978 --> 01:23:25,609
There is music in the air
1436
01:23:25,745 --> 01:23:26,844
No.
1437
01:23:26,980 --> 01:23:28,742
Up above my head
1438
01:23:31,044 --> 01:23:33,385
All right, none of this
will be in the special.
1439
01:23:33,521 --> 01:23:35,617
Can you make a note that
that should be in the special?
1440
01:23:37,759 --> 01:23:41,385
Okay, now let's segue straight
into the whorehouse dancers.
Go!
1441
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:43,691
Whorehouse? No.
1442
01:23:46,366 --> 01:23:48,602
Now bring in
the kung fu spectacular.
1443
01:23:48,738 --> 01:23:51,933
What? Kung fu?
1444
01:23:52,068 --> 01:23:54,041
If you ever take a trip
Down to the ocean
1445
01:23:54,176 --> 01:23:56,936
Find yourself down
around Mobile
1446
01:23:57,072 --> 01:23:59,409
This has nothing
to do with Christmas!
1447
01:23:59,544 --> 01:24:01,676
You'll be hearing
from our lawyers.
1448
01:24:01,812 --> 01:24:03,380
But, we still have
"Here Comes Santa Claus"!
1449
01:24:03,516 --> 01:24:05,615
Santa Claus is bringing you
a lawsuit!
1450
01:24:05,750 --> 01:24:06,943
Digging the finest
Little five-piece group
1451
01:24:07,079 --> 01:24:09,047
Up and down the
Gulf of Mexico
1452
01:24:09,182 --> 01:24:10,922
Guess who's leading
That five-piece band
1453
01:24:11,058 --> 01:24:12,456
Well, wouldn't you know
1454
01:24:12,592 --> 01:24:14,318
It's that swinging little
Guitar man
1455
01:24:14,454 --> 01:24:18,958
I got a feelin' in my body
This will be our lucky day
1456
01:24:19,093 --> 01:24:22,665
Just put your arms around me
Real tight
1457
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,731
We'll be released
From all our sorrow
1458
01:24:25,867 --> 01:24:27,972
Leave it layin'
along the way
1459
01:24:28,107 --> 01:24:31,805
Well, I'm the king
of the jungle
They call me the Tiger Man
1460
01:24:31,941 --> 01:24:35,673
I got a--
I got a feelin' in my body
1461
01:24:35,809 --> 01:24:37,651
This will be our lucky day
1462
01:24:40,948 --> 01:24:42,719
Bobby Kennedy been shot!
1463
01:24:42,854 --> 01:24:44,720
Bobby Kennedy's
been shot, everybody!
1464
01:24:44,855 --> 01:24:47,151
Senator Kennedy
has been shot.
1465
01:24:47,286 --> 01:24:50,591
Oh, my God.
Senator Kennedy has been shot.
1466
01:24:52,698 --> 01:24:54,633
Get the gun. Get the gun.
1467
01:24:54,769 --> 01:24:57,099
Take a hold of his thumb
and break it if you have to!
1468
01:24:57,234 --> 01:24:58,463
Get his gun!
1469
01:24:58,599 --> 01:24:59,965
We're ready on set.
1470
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:03,238
Oh, my God.
1471
01:25:13,252 --> 01:25:16,814
...Senator Kennedy
was involved in a shooting,
1472
01:25:16,949 --> 01:25:18,983
that a newsman was involved,
1473
01:25:19,118 --> 01:25:20,957
and that one other man
was involved.
1474
01:25:21,092 --> 01:25:24,056
There are now three doctors
back there caring for them.
1475
01:25:24,192 --> 01:25:26,061
Steve, we gotta
get back to work.
1476
01:25:26,197 --> 01:25:28,197
Work?
1477
01:25:28,333 --> 01:25:29,496
...amount of blood on the floor
of this anteroom.
1478
01:25:29,631 --> 01:25:32,464
Ice is now being, uh, brought--
1479
01:25:35,670 --> 01:25:38,245
Listen, I, uh...
1480
01:25:39,773 --> 01:25:41,043
I just want to say that...
1481
01:25:42,612 --> 01:25:44,851
...that this nation is hurting.
1482
01:25:44,987 --> 01:25:47,319
It's lost. You know? It...
1483
01:25:47,455 --> 01:25:51,324
It needs a voice right now
to help it heal.
1484
01:25:53,490 --> 01:25:55,119
We have to say something.
1485
01:25:56,258 --> 01:25:57,790
You...
1486
01:25:57,925 --> 01:26:00,793
have to make
a statement, E.P.
1487
01:26:00,929 --> 01:26:04,499
Mr. Presley does not
make statements.
1488
01:26:04,634 --> 01:26:08,467
He sings
"Here Comes Santa Claus"
1489
01:26:08,603 --> 01:26:10,175
and wishes everyone,
1490
01:26:10,310 --> 01:26:12,840
"Merry Christmas
and good night."
1491
01:26:15,044 --> 01:26:16,515
...Senator Kennedy's
press secretary
1492
01:26:16,650 --> 01:26:18,749
was made roughly an hour
and a half ago.
1493
01:26:18,885 --> 01:26:21,750
Some five to ten minutes later,
the operation began.
1494
01:26:21,885 --> 01:26:24,258
The six-man team
of neurosurgeons
1495
01:26:24,393 --> 01:26:25,751
probing for the bullet
that had lodged
1496
01:26:25,886 --> 01:26:27,559
in Senator Kennedy's brain.
1497
01:26:27,695 --> 01:26:29,930
No report yet
as to how that operation...
1498
01:26:30,065 --> 01:26:32,090
Poor Mrs. Kennedy.
1499
01:26:32,867 --> 01:26:33,894
This tragedy...
1500
01:26:34,869 --> 01:26:36,895
A tragedy.
1501
01:26:37,031 --> 01:26:39,365
But it has nothing
to do with us.
1502
01:26:39,500 --> 01:26:42,966
The White House
has reacted to the shooting...
1503
01:26:43,102 --> 01:26:45,240
It has everything
to do with us.
1504
01:26:45,376 --> 01:26:48,779
No, I just do not think
1505
01:26:48,915 --> 01:26:52,044
we should be making speeches
about politics and religion.
1506
01:26:52,180 --> 01:26:54,717
Dr. King was shot
eight miles from Graceland
1507
01:26:54,852 --> 01:26:58,425
while I was out here
singing to turtles.
1508
01:26:58,561 --> 01:27:00,686
And now this, and all you can
think about is how many
1509
01:27:00,821 --> 01:27:02,888
goddamn sweaters I can sell?
1510
01:27:03,023 --> 01:27:04,859
I am a promoter.
That is what I do.
1511
01:27:04,994 --> 01:27:07,291
And I'm Elvis Presley.
That's what I do.
1512
01:27:07,426 --> 01:27:10,070
Well, Mr. Bindle has really
gotten inside your head
1513
01:27:10,205 --> 01:27:12,065
with all of his hippie friends.
1514
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:14,303
You actually think that
you singing your old songs
1515
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,101
dressed in black leather,
1516
01:27:16,236 --> 01:27:19,075
sweating, mumbling incoherently
to the audience
1517
01:27:19,210 --> 01:27:20,645
was a good show?
1518
01:27:20,780 --> 01:27:22,677
Colonel, I know when
I've excited an audience.
1519
01:27:22,813 --> 01:27:25,252
That was not a real audience,
my boy.
1520
01:27:25,387 --> 01:27:27,286
There was a sign
flashing "applaud,"
1521
01:27:27,422 --> 01:27:29,081
telling them
when to clap for you.
1522
01:27:29,216 --> 01:27:32,018
This entire jamboree
is an embarrassment.
1523
01:27:33,428 --> 01:27:34,654
You have embarrassed
the sponsors,
1524
01:27:34,790 --> 01:27:35,989
you have embarrassed yourself,
1525
01:27:36,124 --> 01:27:37,460
-you have embarrassed me.
1526
01:27:37,596 --> 01:27:40,124
Now, you can sing
whatever songs
1527
01:27:40,260 --> 01:27:43,427
you and Mr. Bindle choose
for 55 minutes,
1528
01:27:43,563 --> 01:27:46,868
but at the end of the show,
there will be a Christmas song.
1529
01:27:48,274 --> 01:27:51,169
Or else we will be sued.
1530
01:27:51,304 --> 01:27:54,581
No, you will be sued
for breach of contract,
1531
01:27:54,717 --> 01:27:58,017
because I will no longer be
the promoter of your career.
1532
01:27:58,153 --> 01:27:59,782
I will have to leave you.
1533
01:28:01,922 --> 01:28:02,818
Hmm.
1534
01:28:05,486 --> 01:28:06,855
Mmm-hmm.
1535
01:28:15,767 --> 01:28:17,361
Now, I have convinced
our friends
1536
01:28:17,496 --> 01:28:19,864
at Singer Sewing Machines
to come back tomorrow
1537
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,332
for "Here Comes Santa Claus."
1538
01:28:22,467 --> 01:28:25,802
I will see you in the morning,
Mr. Presley.
1539
01:28:25,938 --> 01:28:27,478
Oh, and as I recall,
1540
01:28:27,614 --> 01:28:30,041
Dr. King said
rock and roll music
1541
01:28:30,177 --> 01:28:32,848
contributed
to juvenile delinquency.
1542
01:28:32,984 --> 01:28:34,219
It would be wrong,
1543
01:28:34,355 --> 01:28:35,715
it would be self-deceptive
1544
01:28:35,850 --> 01:28:37,523
to ignore the connection
1545
01:28:37,658 --> 01:28:39,851
between that lawlessness
and hatred
1546
01:28:39,987 --> 01:28:42,095
and this act of violence.
1547
01:28:42,231 --> 01:28:43,994
It would be just as wrong
1548
01:28:44,130 --> 01:28:47,334
and just as self-deceptive
to conclude from this act
1549
01:28:47,469 --> 01:28:49,829
that our country
itself is sick,
1550
01:28:49,964 --> 01:28:51,570
that it's lost its balance,
1551
01:28:51,705 --> 01:28:54,173
that it's lost its sense
of direction,
1552
01:28:54,308 --> 01:28:56,405
even its common decency.
1553
01:28:56,541 --> 01:28:58,172
200 million Americans
1554
01:28:58,308 --> 01:29:01,509
did not strike down
Robert Kennedy last night,
1555
01:29:01,645 --> 01:29:03,010
any more than they struck down
1556
01:29:03,145 --> 01:29:07,148
President John F. Kennedy
in 1963,
1557
01:29:07,283 --> 01:29:10,518
or Dr. Martin Luther King
in April of this year.
1558
01:29:10,654 --> 01:29:13,053
My fellow citizens, we cannot,
1559
01:29:13,188 --> 01:29:15,656
we just must not tolerate
the sway
1560
01:29:15,791 --> 01:29:17,895
of violent men among us.
1561
01:29:18,031 --> 01:29:21,864
We must not permit men
that are filled with hate--
1562
01:29:30,908 --> 01:29:35,207
Here comes Santa Claus
1563
01:29:38,285 --> 01:29:42,984
Here comes Santa Claus
1564
01:29:44,359 --> 01:29:48,660
Right down Santa Claus...
1565
01:29:56,199 --> 01:29:59,472
We're pretty set for the number
tomorrow, right, E.P.?
1566
01:29:59,608 --> 01:30:02,542
It's pretty familiar territory,
right?
1567
01:30:04,939 --> 01:30:07,107
A reverend once told me...
1568
01:30:09,244 --> 01:30:12,112
"When things are too dangerous
to say...
1569
01:30:14,780 --> 01:30:16,457
sing."
1570
01:30:39,643 --> 01:30:45,343
There must be lights
Burning brighter somewhere
1571
01:30:46,852 --> 01:30:51,157
Got to be birds
flying higher
1572
01:30:51,292 --> 01:30:54,754
In a sky more blue
1573
01:30:56,998 --> 01:30:59,332
Standing by.
We're seconds away, folks.
1574
01:30:59,467 --> 01:31:00,964
We're just waiting on upstairs.
1575
01:31:01,099 --> 01:31:03,493
We're gonna get a rehearsal
going very shortly.
1576
01:31:03,629 --> 01:31:06,271
Let's go, let's go, people!
First positions!
1577
01:31:06,407 --> 01:31:07,938
Here we go, from the top.
1578
01:31:08,074 --> 01:31:11,202
Mrs. Presley is quite
the homemaker, Priscilla is,
1579
01:31:11,338 --> 01:31:12,779
and I'm sure
she would love to have
1580
01:31:12,914 --> 01:31:16,044
one of the SK551 machines
so she can knit Elvis's--
1581
01:31:16,179 --> 01:31:18,345
-They were in there all night.
-Doing what?
1582
01:31:18,480 --> 01:31:20,383
He's working on a new song.
He says he's singing it.
1583
01:31:20,519 --> 01:31:22,150
New song? Whoa, hey!
1584
01:31:22,285 --> 01:31:24,719
It's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas. Yes!
1585
01:31:24,854 --> 01:31:26,692
Gentlemen, take your seats.
1586
01:31:29,323 --> 01:31:32,064
Now, that's
a winter wonderland.
1587
01:31:32,199 --> 01:31:33,732
Mr. Bindle.
1588
01:31:33,867 --> 01:31:38,900
You and I are
on the same page at last.
1589
01:31:39,036 --> 01:31:40,767
Bring up the lights
on the sign.
1590
01:31:40,902 --> 01:31:43,402
Okay, yeah. Let's go.
1591
01:31:43,538 --> 01:31:45,942
Dancers, stop.
Dancers, stop. Stop!
1592
01:31:46,908 --> 01:31:49,673
Turn about. Turn about.
1593
01:31:49,809 --> 01:31:51,708
You've got to get some roll.
I got action on the right side.
1594
01:31:51,843 --> 01:31:54,280
Turn around. Come on,
through, through, through!
1595
01:31:57,689 --> 01:32:00,022
We're lost in a cloud
1596
01:32:01,395 --> 01:32:03,894
With too much rain
1597
01:32:05,290 --> 01:32:07,733
We're trapped in a world
1598
01:32:09,064 --> 01:32:12,839
That's troubled with pain
1599
01:32:12,975 --> 01:32:18,907
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
1600
01:32:19,043 --> 01:32:25,916
He can redeem
his soul and fly
1601
01:32:30,387 --> 01:32:37,928
Deep in my heart
There's a trembling question
1602
01:32:38,063 --> 01:32:41,963
Still, I am sure
That the answer's
1603
01:32:42,099 --> 01:32:45,502
Answer's gonna come
somehow
1604
01:32:45,638 --> 01:32:49,170
Out there in the dark
1605
01:32:49,305 --> 01:32:53,439
There's a beckoning candle,
yeah
1606
01:32:53,574 --> 01:32:57,178
And while I can think
While I can talk
1607
01:32:57,313 --> 01:33:01,287
While I can stand
While I can walk
1608
01:33:01,422 --> 01:33:04,917
While I can dream
1609
01:33:05,053 --> 01:33:09,085
Oh, please let my dream
1610
01:33:09,220 --> 01:33:12,798
Come true, oh
1611
01:33:16,568 --> 01:33:20,230
Right now
1612
01:33:20,366 --> 01:33:22,907
Let it come true right now
1613
01:33:35,615 --> 01:33:37,517
Thank you. Good night.
1614
01:33:37,652 --> 01:33:40,018
I was always said,
when it came to music,
1615
01:33:40,153 --> 01:33:41,885
my boy knows best.
1616
01:33:42,021 --> 01:33:46,623
But the special was my idea.
It was a tremendous hit.
1617
01:33:47,667 --> 01:33:49,331
We was back on top.
1618
01:33:49,467 --> 01:33:53,164
But some people were
putting ideas into his head
1619
01:33:53,299 --> 01:33:56,972
that he didn't need me no more.
1620
01:34:02,648 --> 01:34:03,816
Whoo-hoo!
1621
01:34:05,276 --> 01:34:06,510
It's working.
1622
01:34:06,645 --> 01:34:07,984
London, Germany,
Japan...
1623
01:34:08,119 --> 01:34:09,519
Hulett here has got it
all lined up.
1624
01:34:09,655 --> 01:34:11,452
Air Presley's new wings.
1625
01:34:11,588 --> 01:34:13,518
You know, when you
play stadiums, it's like...
1626
01:34:13,653 --> 01:34:15,454
you do a week of shows
in just one night.
1627
01:34:15,589 --> 01:34:17,896
And when it's done,
you get on the plane...
1628
01:34:18,031 --> 01:34:20,031
You go where you want,
you play where you want,
1629
01:34:20,166 --> 01:34:22,559
and if they don't like it,
you go someplace else.
1630
01:34:22,694 --> 01:34:24,570
You know who told me that?
B.B. King.
1631
01:34:24,705 --> 01:34:26,502
Well, B.B. knows, man.
1632
01:34:26,637 --> 01:34:28,735
And the someplace else
you should be going
is overseas.
1633
01:34:28,870 --> 01:34:30,504
I like that.
1634
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:32,575
You know, I heard last year
alone, you had two offers.
1635
01:34:32,710 --> 01:34:34,108
Germany and Japan,
1636
01:34:34,243 --> 01:34:37,113
for a million bucks
for one night.
1637
01:34:37,248 --> 01:34:39,384
I mean, why the Colonel
would turn that down,
1638
01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:41,019
I have no idea, man.
1639
01:34:41,154 --> 01:34:43,452
Well, if you figure it out,
can you let us know?
1640
01:34:43,587 --> 01:34:45,024
Yeah.
1641
01:34:45,159 --> 01:34:45,918
Well, screw him.
You've got the plane now.
1642
01:34:46,053 --> 01:34:47,427
You should use it.
1643
01:34:47,562 --> 01:34:49,454
Yeah, come to Daddy.
1644
01:34:49,590 --> 01:34:51,564
Maybe we should call it
the "Lisa Marie."
1645
01:34:51,699 --> 01:34:52,859
That's a beautiful name.
1646
01:34:52,994 --> 01:34:54,064
Right?
1647
01:34:56,504 --> 01:34:59,729
Hit me. Hit me.
1648
01:34:59,864 --> 01:35:04,233
Mr. Parker, Mr. Kohn
would like to see you.
1649
01:35:04,369 --> 01:35:06,703
Colonel Parker. Hit me.
1650
01:35:08,846 --> 01:35:10,850
I can't, sorry.
1651
01:35:13,913 --> 01:35:16,383
You've run up
quite a tab, Colonel.
1652
01:35:16,518 --> 01:35:19,760
And we hear your boy's working
with new people.
1653
01:35:20,860 --> 01:35:23,527
You've lost your meal ticket.
1654
01:35:23,663 --> 01:35:25,895
It's time to settle up,
1655
01:35:26,031 --> 01:35:28,432
before we have
to make things...
1656
01:35:28,568 --> 01:35:30,597
Uncomfortable.
1657
01:35:30,732 --> 01:35:33,703
Well, before the army, we found
no record of you at all.
1658
01:35:33,839 --> 01:35:36,501
No passport, no residency.
1659
01:35:36,637 --> 01:35:39,478
You were never a colonel.
Never a Tom.
1660
01:35:39,614 --> 01:35:41,342
You weren't even a Parker.
1661
01:35:41,478 --> 01:35:46,985
Why did you flee Holland,
Andreas van Kuijk?
1662
01:35:50,784 --> 01:35:52,519
-I don't know why
1663
01:35:52,654 --> 01:35:54,321
you can't just let
the lawyers take care of it.
1664
01:35:54,456 --> 01:35:56,094
I have to see him
in Vegas.
1665
01:35:56,230 --> 01:35:58,424
He's in the hospital.
It's the right thing to do.
1666
01:35:58,559 --> 01:35:59,799
-Yeah, well...
-He's frail right now.
1667
01:35:59,934 --> 01:36:01,128
-You know what he's like, baby.
1668
01:36:01,264 --> 01:36:03,267
-Hey! Watch it.
1669
01:36:03,402 --> 01:36:05,138
You know what he's like.
The second that
you're near him,
1670
01:36:05,274 --> 01:36:07,567
you'll be under ten feet
of snow before you know
what's happened.
1671
01:36:07,702 --> 01:36:10,673
My mind's made up.
Business is business.
1672
01:36:10,808 --> 01:36:12,142
He and I are done.
1673
01:36:12,277 --> 01:36:14,112
But I owe it to him
to tell him to his face.
1674
01:36:14,247 --> 01:36:17,614
Well, just make sure he
doesn't clip your wings, honey.
1675
01:36:17,749 --> 01:36:19,444
He won't!
1676
01:36:19,580 --> 01:36:22,187
I am gonna go
see him in Vegas.
1677
01:36:22,323 --> 01:36:26,918
I'm gonna look him in the eyes,
and I'm gonna tell him...
1678
01:36:27,053 --> 01:36:28,957
-Watch my hair.
-I'm gonna tell him...
1679
01:36:29,092 --> 01:36:30,428
-Mmm-hmm.
-Mmm-hmm.
1680
01:36:31,962 --> 01:36:32,833
...it's over.
1681
01:36:38,267 --> 01:36:40,671
You break it, you burn it
1682
01:36:40,806 --> 01:36:43,541
Drag it all around
1683
01:36:43,677 --> 01:36:46,006
You twist it and turn it
1684
01:36:46,142 --> 01:36:48,543
You cannot tear it down
1685
01:36:48,679 --> 01:36:51,347
'Cause every minute,
every hour you'll be shaken
1686
01:36:51,482 --> 01:36:53,984
By the strength
and mighty power of my love
1687
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:55,746
Colonel doesn't want you
making a fuss.
1688
01:37:02,796 --> 01:37:03,857
-Colonel?
-Mmm?
1689
01:37:03,993 --> 01:37:04,989
Elvis is here.
1690
01:37:05,124 --> 01:37:06,266
Oh...
1691
01:37:06,401 --> 01:37:09,359
Oh. My boy.
1692
01:37:09,494 --> 01:37:11,631
Admiral. How are you?
1693
01:37:11,766 --> 01:37:15,041
Oh, my boy, I should have
come down to see you.
1694
01:37:15,176 --> 01:37:17,339
But I'm a little
laid up, you know.
1695
01:37:17,474 --> 01:37:18,569
You've just
had a heart attack.
1696
01:37:18,704 --> 01:37:20,144
You're not meant
to get out of bed.
1697
01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:22,675
Heart attack?
Colonel, you said your back--
1698
01:37:22,810 --> 01:37:26,518
My heart just stopped is all,
and I fell. It's--
1699
01:37:26,653 --> 01:37:28,651
I put my back out.
1700
01:37:30,856 --> 01:37:32,688
There you go.
1701
01:37:32,823 --> 01:37:35,562
It was all the excitement about
the Christmas special, you see.
1702
01:37:35,697 --> 01:37:37,029
I should never have worried,
1703
01:37:37,164 --> 01:37:40,857
because you came through
like you always do.
1704
01:37:40,992 --> 01:37:45,361
Nobody can sell "show"
to an audience like you.
1705
01:37:45,497 --> 01:37:47,732
I admit it. I was wrong.
1706
01:37:49,675 --> 01:37:51,043
Colonel, I--
1707
01:37:52,242 --> 01:37:53,980
I wanted to tell you in person.
1708
01:37:54,778 --> 01:37:57,047
Um...
1709
01:37:57,182 --> 01:38:00,448
As far as business
is concerned...
1710
01:38:00,583 --> 01:38:02,780
I think we need to go
our separate ways.
1711
01:38:07,926 --> 01:38:09,928
Well, you may be right.
1712
01:38:10,063 --> 01:38:12,591
Maybe it is time for me
to retire.
1713
01:38:12,727 --> 01:38:14,632
Oh, come on, Colonel,
quit snowin' me.
1714
01:38:14,768 --> 01:38:16,197
You ain't retiring.
1715
01:38:16,332 --> 01:38:20,435
I will miss the circus. I will.
1716
01:38:20,570 --> 01:38:22,806
But I cannot keep up
with these young fellas,
1717
01:38:22,941 --> 01:38:24,537
like your Mr. Hulett,
1718
01:38:24,672 --> 01:38:27,437
who wants to put together
a new show
1719
01:38:27,573 --> 01:38:30,143
for an international tour,
1720
01:38:30,279 --> 01:38:32,713
for you to play stadiums.
1721
01:38:32,848 --> 01:38:38,156
These international tours
are very, very expensive.
1722
01:38:38,292 --> 01:38:41,761
And the costs
cut into the artist's profits.
1723
01:38:41,896 --> 01:38:43,830
I worry that the financial risk
1724
01:38:43,966 --> 01:38:46,765
would put a strain
on your daddy.
1725
01:38:46,900 --> 01:38:48,460
But I cannot help but think,
1726
01:38:48,596 --> 01:38:50,430
as your former
technical advisor
1727
01:38:50,566 --> 01:38:53,668
and as an old friend,
what if...
1728
01:38:53,804 --> 01:38:58,506
the next Elvis Presley show
did not cost you a red cent?
1729
01:39:01,449 --> 01:39:06,514
I wonder if your daddy would
not like the sound of that.
1730
01:39:08,023 --> 01:39:11,321
The brand-new
International Hotel.
1731
01:39:30,979 --> 01:39:33,602
It's a mighty big stage.
1732
01:39:33,738 --> 01:39:35,675
The biggest in Las Vegas.
1733
01:39:35,810 --> 01:39:37,875
You could get lost
in a place like this.
1734
01:39:38,011 --> 01:39:40,777
My boy, you performed
that comeback special
1735
01:39:40,913 --> 01:39:43,722
on a tiny square,
inside a studio,
1736
01:39:43,857 --> 01:39:45,514
and the fans loved it.
1737
01:39:45,650 --> 01:39:47,160
In a room this size,
1738
01:39:47,295 --> 01:39:51,854
you could give them
the greatest show on earth.
1739
01:39:51,990 --> 01:39:55,595
Nothing less
than Elvis Presley.
1740
01:39:55,731 --> 01:39:58,670
I've been experimenting
with a new, big sound.
1741
01:39:58,806 --> 01:40:00,072
Good. Good, my boy.
1742
01:40:00,208 --> 01:40:02,241
Because you can fill up
this entire stage
1743
01:40:02,376 --> 01:40:05,001
with every musical idea
that is inside that head.
1744
01:40:06,208 --> 01:40:07,575
No, it would cost.
1745
01:40:07,710 --> 01:40:10,083
Yes, that's the beauty of it.
1746
01:40:10,218 --> 01:40:12,017
You see, this here
International Hotel--
1747
01:40:18,292 --> 01:40:19,888
This International Hotel...
1748
01:40:20,023 --> 01:40:20,991
Mmm-hmm.
1749
01:40:21,127 --> 01:40:23,822
...needs a major drawing card
1750
01:40:23,957 --> 01:40:27,659
to pull in all the rubes
and put it on the map.
1751
01:40:27,794 --> 01:40:30,429
So they will cover
all of the costs
1752
01:40:30,565 --> 01:40:32,599
of putting together your show.
1753
01:40:32,734 --> 01:40:34,398
And you just play here
for six weeks,
1754
01:40:34,534 --> 01:40:36,334
and then off you go,
1755
01:40:36,470 --> 01:40:39,168
to tour around the world
1756
01:40:39,303 --> 01:40:43,108
with no financial risk
to Elvis Presley Enterprises.
1757
01:40:43,243 --> 01:40:44,513
None.
1758
01:40:49,284 --> 01:40:51,289
Well, goddamn.
1759
01:40:57,958 --> 01:41:00,793
-Snowman strikes again.
-Oh, yeah.
1760
01:41:00,928 --> 01:41:05,067
We're going to make it snow.
It will snow.
1761
01:41:05,203 --> 01:41:07,432
First of all,
we're gonna need
the Sweet Inspirations.
1762
01:41:07,568 --> 01:41:09,765
Yeah, yeah
1763
01:41:09,901 --> 01:41:11,809
And the Imperials.
1764
01:41:11,944 --> 01:41:14,112
We're caught
in a trap
I can't walk out
1765
01:41:14,248 --> 01:41:16,177
And a 30-piece orchestra.
1766
01:41:23,924 --> 01:41:26,451
You know,
the first thing
that I ever recorded,
1767
01:41:26,587 --> 01:41:28,052
the very first thing,
1768
01:41:28,187 --> 01:41:31,055
was an old, uh, rhythm
and blues-type song
1769
01:41:31,190 --> 01:41:33,290
called "That's All Right,
Little Mama."
1770
01:41:33,425 --> 01:41:35,828
-And back then we only had
1771
01:41:35,964 --> 01:41:39,072
two or three instruments
at the time.
1772
01:41:39,207 --> 01:41:41,097
But this ain't
no nostalgia show.
1773
01:41:41,232 --> 01:41:43,105
We're gonna do something
different.
1774
01:41:47,214 --> 01:41:51,482
I, uh...
I wanna try something new.
1775
01:41:51,618 --> 01:41:55,182
All right, Glen, you're gonna
start us off, okay?
1776
01:41:55,318 --> 01:41:56,552
Take the intro here.
1777
01:42:13,835 --> 01:42:15,406
All right, bring that
bass up, Jerry.
1778
01:42:19,814 --> 01:42:20,972
Keep playing.
1779
01:42:23,346 --> 01:42:24,683
Whoo!
1780
01:42:24,818 --> 01:42:27,550
Oh! Oh! Oh!
1781
01:42:27,686 --> 01:42:29,211
-That's all right
-That's all right
1782
01:42:29,347 --> 01:42:30,786
-That's all right
-That's all right
1783
01:42:30,922 --> 01:42:32,158
Boys...
1784
01:42:32,293 --> 01:42:32,856
That's all right
1785
01:42:32,991 --> 01:42:33,826
With me.
1786
01:42:33,962 --> 01:42:35,519
Any way you do
1787
01:42:35,654 --> 01:42:36,493
All right.
1788
01:42:41,630 --> 01:42:43,168
James, you ready?
1789
01:42:43,304 --> 01:42:45,161
-Oh!
1790
01:42:51,812 --> 01:42:53,003
Flames, man!
1791
01:42:53,139 --> 01:42:55,077
Flames are coming
out of that guitar.
1792
01:42:55,213 --> 01:42:57,883
I got that. Ronnie.
1793
01:42:58,018 --> 01:42:59,109
I'll get back to that.
1794
01:42:59,887 --> 01:43:02,679
Horns, you ready?
1795
01:43:02,815 --> 01:43:06,221
Ba-da-bom! Ba-da-bom!
1796
01:43:09,029 --> 01:43:10,195
Let's up the octave!
1797
01:43:11,761 --> 01:43:14,464
-Yeah! Goddamn!
1798
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,796
All right, 'bones.
On a one, three, four...
1799
01:43:25,171 --> 01:43:27,609
Ronnie,
you know what to do, man.
1800
01:43:27,744 --> 01:43:29,772
Do it to me, come on.
Take us home.
1801
01:43:31,814 --> 01:43:34,713
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Hah! Hah! Hah!
1802
01:43:34,849 --> 01:43:36,855
Come on.
Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!
1803
01:43:36,991 --> 01:43:38,548
Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!
1804
01:43:55,206 --> 01:43:57,733
-Colonel,
nice to see you.
-Oh, here you are.
1805
01:43:57,868 --> 01:43:59,411
Yeah. Here you go.
1806
01:44:02,117 --> 01:44:03,414
-How 'bout a hound dog?
-Cool.
1807
01:44:03,550 --> 01:44:04,574
I'll fix you with
some food and drink.
1808
01:44:04,709 --> 01:44:05,774
Thank you.
1809
01:44:08,914 --> 01:44:10,448
All right, let's go.
1810
01:44:45,959 --> 01:44:49,286
Well, that's all right, Mama
That's all right with you
1811
01:44:49,421 --> 01:44:52,125

01:44:55,836 --> 01:45:02,203
That's all right now, Mama
Any way you do, yeah
1815
01:45:02,338 --> 01:45:06,375
Well, my mama,

Papa told me too
1816
01:45:06,510 --> 01:45:08,871
"The life you're livin, son
Now, women be
the death of you"
1817
01:45:09,007 --> 01:45:10,674
Now, that's all right
1818
01:45:10,810 --> 01:45:12,242
That's all right
1819
01:45:12,378 --> 01:45:17,049
That's all right now, Mama

That's all right
1822
01:45:30,104 --> 01:45:31,661
That's all right
1823
01:45:31,797 --> 01:45:33,802
Any way you do
1824
01:45:35,776 --> 01:45:39,073
Da, da-da, dee, dee, dee
Dee, dee, dee-dee
1825
01:45:39,209 --> 01:45:42,373
Dee, dee, dee-dee

1826
01:45:42,508 --> 01:45:44,078

01:45:52,354 --> 01:45:57,529
Well, that's all right
now, Mama
Any way you do
1830
01:46:09,533 --> 01:46:12,373
Ain't nobody gonna do
a better show than that.
1831
01:46:12,509 --> 01:46:13,906
I tell ya, if I was you,
1832
01:46:14,042 --> 01:46:16,207
I would book him
for a hundred years.
1833
01:46:17,618 --> 01:46:20,586
Well, no better time
than the present.
1834
01:46:20,721 --> 01:46:23,914
But we hear Hulett has him
doing a world tour.
1835
01:46:25,725 --> 01:46:28,727
Well, well, well, uh,
I think Mr. Presley
1836
01:46:28,863 --> 01:46:32,430
could be persuaded to make
the International his home,
1837
01:46:32,566 --> 01:46:36,068
provided he was paid
pretty well.
1838
01:46:36,204 --> 01:46:37,868
What did you have in mind?
1839
01:46:38,004 --> 01:46:40,100
I'd like to introduce to you
a couple of people tonight,
1840
01:46:40,235 --> 01:46:42,866
one of which being
my beautiful wife, Priscilla.
1841
01:46:44,773 --> 01:46:46,238
Would you stand up, honey?
1842
01:46:46,373 --> 01:46:49,947
For an attraction as tremendous
as Mr. Presley...
1843
01:46:50,082 --> 01:46:53,752
-We love you,
Priscilla!
1844
01:46:53,888 --> 01:46:57,248
Also, this man over here,
I wouldn't be here without,
1845
01:46:57,383 --> 01:47:00,556
my manager of many years,
Colonel Sanders.
1846
01:47:00,691 --> 01:47:04,321
-Parker. Parker.
1847
01:47:04,457 --> 01:47:06,529
Well, we're gonna do a new song
for you tonight.
1848
01:47:06,664 --> 01:47:08,792
It's called "Suspicious Minds."
1849
01:47:08,928 --> 01:47:10,135
"Suspicious Minds."
1850
01:47:14,604 --> 01:47:16,432
We're caught in a trap
1851
01:47:18,179 --> 01:47:20,271
I can't walk out
1852
01:47:21,813 --> 01:47:27,311
Because I love you
Too much, baby
1853
01:47:29,586 --> 01:47:31,180
Why can't you see
1854
01:47:31,315 --> 01:47:35,354
Oh, what you're doin' to me
1855
01:47:35,489 --> 01:47:41,457
Oh, when you don't believe
A word I'm sayin'?
1856
01:47:44,267 --> 01:47:50,672
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
1857
01:47:50,807 --> 01:47:53,805
And we can't build our dreams
1858
01:47:53,941 --> 01:47:57,707
On suspicious minds
1859
01:47:57,842 --> 01:48:01,384
So, if an old friend I know
Shove it up your nose
1860
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:03,583
Stops by to say hello
1861
01:48:05,486 --> 01:48:12,596
Would I still see suspicion
in your eyes?
1862
01:48:12,732 --> 01:48:16,030
That is what my boy
would expect.
1863
01:48:18,028 --> 01:48:20,701
Now...
1864
01:48:20,837 --> 01:48:23,272
What are you going to pay me?
1865
01:48:28,481 --> 01:48:32,451
Oh, let our love survive
1866
01:48:32,587 --> 01:48:37,515
Colonel, your sideshow
is the jackpot.
1867
01:48:39,188 --> 01:48:41,590
If you bring him back
every year,
1868
01:48:41,726 --> 01:48:44,153
I'll make it worth your while.
1869
01:48:44,289 --> 01:48:46,566
Oh, I've never...
1870
01:48:49,027 --> 01:48:51,571
Lied to you
1871
01:48:52,801 --> 01:48:54,167
Caught in a trap
1872
01:48:55,870 --> 01:48:58,672
I can't walk out
1873
01:48:58,807 --> 01:49:00,404
...good thing die
1874
01:49:03,245 --> 01:49:06,910
Yeah, yeah
Now, don't you know
1875
01:49:07,046 --> 01:49:08,053
Caught in a trap
1876
01:49:10,258 --> 01:49:11,921
I can't walk out
1877
01:49:13,527 --> 01:49:16,596
Because I love you too much
1878
01:49:20,460 --> 01:49:25,066
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
1879
01:49:26,540 --> 01:49:29,301
Because I love you too much
1880
01:49:33,407 --> 01:49:38,079
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
1881
01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:42,281
Because I love you too much
1882
01:49:46,387 --> 01:49:50,586
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
1883
01:49:52,359 --> 01:49:57,494
Because I love you
Too much, baby
1884
01:49:57,629 --> 01:50:00,596
Oh, don't you know
Caught in a trap
1885
01:50:02,769 --> 01:50:06,068
Of course, I will reserve
the right to sell calendars,
1886
01:50:06,203 --> 01:50:07,343
pictures and such?
1887
01:50:10,609 --> 01:50:12,509
You do whatever
you want, Colonel,
1888
01:50:12,644 --> 01:50:16,513
as long as that boy
stays on that stage.
1889
01:50:30,970 --> 01:50:33,163
My boy's light
burned brighter
1890
01:50:33,299 --> 01:50:36,032
than even 15 years before.
1891
01:50:36,168 --> 01:50:37,369
Hi, darlin'.
1892
01:51:05,203 --> 01:51:08,198
I saw in her face
that night
1893
01:51:08,333 --> 01:51:11,174
what I had always known.
1894
01:51:11,310 --> 01:51:16,716
She could never compete
with the love he felt from you.
1895
01:51:24,815 --> 01:51:26,550
I'm sorry I couldn't
make it up there, man.
1896
01:51:28,221 --> 01:51:32,521
Take my... take my hand
1897
01:51:32,657 --> 01:51:37,395
Take my whole...
whole life too
1898
01:51:37,531 --> 01:51:39,867
For I... for I...
I can't help
1899
01:51:40,002 --> 01:51:41,506
Hey, guys. Time to go back.
1900
01:51:41,641 --> 01:51:45,404
Falling in love with you
1901
01:51:45,539 --> 01:51:51,008
Oh, oh, for I...
For I can't help
1902
01:51:51,143 --> 01:51:54,516
Falling in love
1903
01:51:54,651 --> 01:51:59,891
With you
1904
01:52:20,041 --> 01:52:21,605
Thank you very much.
1905
01:52:25,750 --> 01:52:27,743
Thank you! Thank you.
1906
01:52:42,392 --> 01:52:44,228
Such a fine show.
1907
01:52:49,808 --> 01:52:51,638
Yeah, baby! Yeah.
1908
01:52:51,773 --> 01:52:54,110
-Wow, great show.
-Thank you. Thank you, all.
1909
01:52:54,245 --> 01:52:56,605
Goddamn, Elvis.
That was great.
1910
01:52:56,741 --> 01:52:57,812
That was fantastic.
1911
01:52:57,947 --> 01:52:58,941
There she is.
1912
01:53:08,996 --> 01:53:11,330
Oh, God. I don't know
who that was out there.
1913
01:53:11,465 --> 01:53:13,622
You were... You...
1914
01:53:13,758 --> 01:53:15,224
You were incredible.
You were...
1915
01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:16,502
You were everything.
1916
01:53:16,637 --> 01:53:19,971
Thank you, baby. Thank you.
1917
01:53:21,871 --> 01:53:23,800
Mr. Elvis Presley,
1918
01:53:23,935 --> 01:53:26,544
I guess that's your
new manager over there, hmm?
1919
01:53:26,680 --> 01:53:28,341
-Mmm.
-Mmm-hmm.
1920
01:53:28,477 --> 01:53:30,672
Yeah. I'm gonna go talk to him,
all right?
1921
01:53:30,808 --> 01:53:32,515
-Okay.
-You okay to get upstairs?
1922
01:53:32,651 --> 01:53:33,710
Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
1923
01:53:49,035 --> 01:53:51,999
Tremendous...
tremendous triumph.
1924
01:53:52,134 --> 01:53:54,897
The greatest show on earth.
1925
01:53:55,033 --> 01:53:59,708
My dear boy, this brainchild
came from you and me,
1926
01:53:59,843 --> 01:54:03,475
but you alone
rose above it all,
and it worked with your talent,
1927
01:54:03,611 --> 01:54:06,914
and your dedication.
1928
01:54:07,049 --> 01:54:08,577
We did it. We did it!
1929
01:54:08,712 --> 01:54:10,483
-We did it.
-We did.
1930
01:54:12,122 --> 01:54:14,887
Come on.
1931
01:54:16,890 --> 01:54:19,690
I can't wait to show the world
what you and I can do.
1932
01:54:22,495 --> 01:54:24,770
The world will see this show.
1933
01:54:24,905 --> 01:54:26,901
Whatever it takes,
I guarantee it.
1934
01:54:27,036 --> 01:54:28,369
Whatever I have to do.
1935
01:54:32,509 --> 01:54:33,803
Ladies and gentlemen
of the press,
1936
01:54:33,938 --> 01:54:36,713
the King of Rock and Roll,
Elvis Presley!
1937
01:54:38,577 --> 01:54:40,118
No, I'm not the king.
1938
01:54:40,254 --> 01:54:42,922
Hey, Fats. Mr. Fats Domino,
ladies and gentlemen.
1939
01:54:43,057 --> 01:54:44,787
This is the real king
of rock and roll.
1940
01:54:44,923 --> 01:54:46,388
Yeah, I'm somethin' else.
1941
01:54:46,523 --> 01:54:48,522
Any plans
to take this show on tour?
1942
01:54:48,657 --> 01:54:50,689
There's so many places
I haven't been yet, you know.
1943
01:54:50,825 --> 01:54:54,624
I'd like to go to Europe.
I'd like to go to Japan.
1944
01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:56,634
I've never been
out of the country,
1945
01:54:56,769 --> 01:54:58,131
except in the service.
1946
01:55:04,341 --> 01:55:05,868
What are you lookin' at
back there?
1947
01:55:06,744 --> 01:55:07,769
Oh, Mr. Diskin.
1948
01:55:07,905 --> 01:55:09,441
Have we discussed
with Mr. Hulett,
1949
01:55:09,577 --> 01:55:11,208
pertaining
to the death threats?
1950
01:55:11,343 --> 01:55:13,244
The death threats?
1951
01:55:13,380 --> 01:55:15,981
Precisely. Death threats!
1952
01:55:17,724 --> 01:55:19,750
Down in Louisiana
1953
01:55:19,885 --> 01:55:23,689
Where the alligators
Grow so mean
1954
01:55:23,824 --> 01:55:27,097
Lived a girl that I swear
To the world
1955
01:55:27,233 --> 01:55:29,358
Made the alligators
look tame
1956
01:55:29,494 --> 01:55:30,336
Polk salad Annie
1957
01:55:33,439 --> 01:55:34,964
Colonel,
once we finish the season,
1958
01:55:35,099 --> 01:55:36,966
Elvis wants
to take the tour overseas.
1959
01:55:37,101 --> 01:55:40,206
Overseas? Have you thought
about security, Jerry?
1960
01:55:40,342 --> 01:55:42,275
Of course I have.
1961
01:55:42,410 --> 01:55:44,312
This is Elvis Presley,
1962
01:55:44,448 --> 01:55:47,478
the most famous man
on the planet.
1963
01:55:47,613 --> 01:55:50,049
Straight-razor totin' woman
1964
01:55:50,185 --> 01:55:51,750
Lord, have mercy
1965
01:55:51,886 --> 01:55:53,188
The crazies
in those countries...
1966
01:55:53,324 --> 01:55:55,522
They're a hundred times
more dangerous.
1967
01:55:55,658 --> 01:55:58,356
Am I the only one
who thinks about security?
1968
01:55:58,491 --> 01:56:01,424
Sock a little polk salad
1969
01:56:01,559 --> 01:56:02,859
You know I need it
1970
01:56:04,666 --> 01:56:07,703
There is nothing more important
than security!
1971
01:56:21,818 --> 01:56:25,915
Am I the only one who ever
thinks about Elvis' security!
1972
01:56:32,799 --> 01:56:33,989
Get him out of here!
1973
01:56:40,636 --> 01:56:42,271
Those guys
turned out to be
1974
01:56:42,406 --> 01:56:44,703
some over-excited fans
from Peru.
1975
01:56:44,838 --> 01:56:47,241
But the death threats
were real.
1976
01:56:47,377 --> 01:56:49,774
I'm going back on.
1977
01:56:49,909 --> 01:56:52,073
I'll rip his goddamn tongue out
by the roots.
1978
01:56:52,209 --> 01:56:55,979
It started
to take its toll.
1979
01:56:56,114 --> 01:56:59,083
Here at Baptist Memorial
Hospital in Midtown Memphis,
1980
01:56:59,218 --> 01:57:02,221
Elvis Presley has apparently
checked in to a private suite,
1981
01:57:02,357 --> 01:57:04,061
suffering from exhaustion.
1982
01:57:04,196 --> 01:57:06,323
A sign that Elvis
is in fact here
1983
01:57:06,458 --> 01:57:10,334
is the aluminum foil
that covers his windows
to deflect the sun.
1984
01:57:10,469 --> 01:57:11,995
Shock around the nation today
1985
01:57:12,131 --> 01:57:14,337
as a free rock concert
at the Altamont Speedway
1986
01:57:14,472 --> 01:57:16,774
by English band
The Rolling Stones,
1987
01:57:16,910 --> 01:57:18,706
ended with four deaths.
1988
01:57:18,841 --> 01:57:21,242
One resulting from a stabbing,
allegedly committed...
1989
01:57:21,378 --> 01:57:23,511
Elvis,
Dr. Nick is here.
1990
01:57:25,516 --> 01:57:27,417
Such a lovely girl,
Ms. Tate.
1991
01:57:27,552 --> 01:57:30,084
What has happened to law
and order in this country?
1992
01:57:30,219 --> 01:57:31,948
Hippies and radicals,
1993
01:57:32,083 --> 01:57:35,393
threatening and killing
popular entertainers.
1994
01:57:35,529 --> 01:57:39,664
The IRA blowing up England?
Planes exploding in mid-air?
1995
01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:41,156
Has the world gone mad?
1996
01:57:41,291 --> 01:57:44,063
Hulett's security
is not what it needs to be.
1997
01:57:44,198 --> 01:57:45,633
And he knows it.
1998
01:57:45,768 --> 01:57:47,930
An international tour now
is out of the question.
1999
01:57:48,065 --> 01:57:49,838
What are you talking about,
Colonel?
2000
01:57:49,973 --> 01:57:51,840
I ain't gonna let these sons of
bitches push me off the stage.
2001
01:57:51,975 --> 01:57:53,476
Precisely.
2002
01:57:53,611 --> 01:57:55,241
You are not one of Hulett's
long-hair Zeppelins,
2003
01:57:55,376 --> 01:57:57,307
you are Elvis Presley.
2004
01:57:57,442 --> 01:57:59,251
You are beloved.
2005
01:57:59,386 --> 01:58:02,112
And I told him I have to
look Priscilla in the eye,
2006
01:58:02,248 --> 01:58:06,982
and I have to promise her
that little Lisa Marie's daddy
2007
01:58:07,118 --> 01:58:10,118
will be safe while
he's away from home.
2008
01:58:10,254 --> 01:58:11,920
We're taking the show
to the world, Colonel.
2009
01:58:12,056 --> 01:58:14,232
I ain't gonna disappoint
those fans.
2010
01:58:18,605 --> 01:58:20,670
Well...
2011
01:58:20,805 --> 01:58:25,634
If you want to book more dates,
we could do an American tour,
2012
01:58:25,769 --> 01:58:28,041
15 cities in 15 days,
2013
01:58:28,177 --> 01:58:31,609
while Mr. Hulett
straightens out his security
problems overseas.
2014
01:58:31,744 --> 01:58:33,809
I'd like that
very much, son.
2015
01:58:33,944 --> 01:58:35,350
How is that gonna be any safer?
2016
01:58:35,486 --> 01:58:37,551
Because staying
in this country,
2017
01:58:37,687 --> 01:58:41,453
I can handle every aspect
of security.
2018
01:58:41,589 --> 01:58:43,053
And then we go international?
2019
01:58:43,188 --> 01:58:46,130
Yeah, sure, around the world.
Wherever you want.
2020
01:58:46,266 --> 01:58:47,556
But in the meantime,
here in America,
2021
01:58:47,692 --> 01:58:50,198
we put on a great show.
2022
01:58:50,334 --> 01:58:51,627
And what will we do, Charlie?
2023
01:58:51,762 --> 01:58:53,403
And have a lot of fun.
2024
01:58:54,336 --> 01:58:56,802
Taking care of business.
2025
01:58:58,571 --> 01:59:01,002
Taking care of business.
2026
01:59:07,621 --> 01:59:10,948
I'll get guarantees
from every mayor.
2027
01:59:11,083 --> 01:59:13,150
We'll double
the police presence.
2028
01:59:13,286 --> 01:59:15,986
You'll have more security
than the President.
2029
01:59:18,927 --> 01:59:22,795
Lord Almighty
I feel my temperature rising
2030
01:59:24,804 --> 01:59:28,702
Higher, higher
It's burning through
to my soul
2031
01:59:30,874 --> 01:59:36,580
Girl, girl, girl
You're gonna set me on fire
2032
01:59:36,716 --> 01:59:39,415
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
2033
01:59:39,551 --> 01:59:41,078
And when
the show is done,
2034
01:59:41,214 --> 01:59:44,087
the boys will hustle you
to the motorcade.
2035
01:59:44,222 --> 01:59:46,447
Elvis has left the building.
2036
01:59:46,583 --> 01:59:50,295
Once you're in the air,
Dr. Nick will ensure your rest.
2037
01:59:51,326 --> 01:59:53,092
Burnin' love
2038
01:59:53,227 --> 01:59:55,590
Land in the next city,
then we do it all again.
2039
01:59:55,726 --> 01:59:57,093
Fifteen times!
2040
01:59:57,228 --> 02:00:00,030
I'm just a hunk
A hunk of burning love
2041
02:00:00,165 --> 02:00:02,169
I'm just a hunk
A hunk of burning love
2042
02:00:02,305 --> 02:00:04,872
It was life
on the road,
just like the old days.
2043
02:00:05,007 --> 02:00:09,039
We were making so much snow,
we did it again.
2044
02:00:11,247 --> 02:00:12,680
And again.
2045
02:00:13,546 --> 02:00:15,517
And again.
2046
02:00:15,653 --> 02:00:18,851
All in the safety
of the US of A.
2047
02:00:22,586 --> 02:00:25,895
Eventually, he lost interest
in going overseas.
2048
02:00:26,031 --> 02:00:27,864
Why would you?
2049
02:00:27,999 --> 02:00:32,328
But I still kept my promise.
I brought the world to him.
2050
02:00:32,464 --> 02:00:36,439
I invented the world's
first ever satellite concert.
2051
02:00:39,539 --> 02:00:44,746
1.5 billion people in
one night, for a single artist.
2052
02:00:44,881 --> 02:00:48,078
Nothing like it before,
nothing like it since.
2053
02:00:57,791 --> 02:01:00,358
But it wasn't enough.
2054
02:01:00,493 --> 02:01:06,403
He was addicted to the love
he felt from you onstage.
2055
02:01:06,539 --> 02:01:09,803
Ordinary love
just didn't compare.
2056
02:01:11,303 --> 02:01:15,981
So, in the lonely moments
between shows,
2057
02:01:16,116 --> 02:01:19,440
he turned to them pills.
2058
02:01:19,576 --> 02:01:21,815
Priscilla, I want you to
do something for me, will you?
2059
02:01:21,950 --> 02:01:25,357
You give my baby girl
a big hug for me, okay?
2060
02:01:27,492 --> 02:01:29,323
The roar of the crowd.
2061
02:01:29,459 --> 02:01:31,524
The life on the road.
2062
02:01:31,659 --> 02:01:34,856
Calling home
to your loved ones,
pretending nothing has changed,
2063
02:01:34,992 --> 02:01:36,858
when everything has.
2064
02:01:36,994 --> 02:01:38,898
-Lost.
2065
02:01:39,830 --> 02:01:41,197
What was that?
2066
02:01:45,103 --> 02:01:47,245
Ain't no one
gonna walk around
2067
02:01:47,381 --> 02:01:48,741
sayin' they killed
Elvis Presley.
2068
02:01:48,876 --> 02:01:51,016
-What did you say?
-Nothing, baby.
2069
02:01:54,216 --> 02:01:56,982
Dr. Martin Luther King
has been shot
2070
02:01:57,117 --> 02:01:58,353
in downtown Memphis,
Tennessee...
2071
02:02:01,829 --> 02:02:03,652
Sharon Tate was the last
to die.
2072
02:02:12,863 --> 02:02:14,703
Is that you, doll?
2073
02:02:14,838 --> 02:02:18,401
I'm leaving you,
and I'm taking Lisa with me.
2074
02:02:18,536 --> 02:02:21,307
Uh, 'Cilla, is this about
what happens on the road?
2075
02:02:21,442 --> 02:02:22,710
About the what?
2076
02:02:22,846 --> 02:02:24,373
Is this about what happens
on the road?
2077
02:02:24,509 --> 02:02:25,846
The girls? You think
I give a shit about the girls
2078
02:02:25,981 --> 02:02:27,309
that you sneak in
through the side door?
2079
02:02:27,444 --> 02:02:29,319
No. I couldn't care less
about whoever it is
2080
02:02:29,455 --> 02:02:30,922
you sneak through
the side door.
2081
02:02:31,058 --> 02:02:32,321
It's about this, Elvis.
2082
02:02:32,457 --> 02:02:33,918
-And this.
-Hey. Whoa.
2083
02:02:34,054 --> 02:02:36,052
And these goddamn pills
those leeches
2084
02:02:36,188 --> 02:02:37,521
and has-beens feed
down your throat!
2085
02:02:37,656 --> 02:02:38,791
God damn it.
2086
02:02:38,927 --> 02:02:40,123
-Like you're strung out.
-Strung out?
2087
02:02:40,259 --> 02:02:41,592
Goddamn, I'm in the best
shape of my life.
2088
02:02:41,728 --> 02:02:43,393
Best shape of your life.
2089
02:02:43,529 --> 02:02:44,764
The only time you're happy
is when you're on that stage.
2090
02:02:44,900 --> 02:02:46,361
And in between that,
you're a ghost.
2091
02:02:46,496 --> 02:02:48,237
'Cilla, I give you everything
you could want.
2092
02:02:48,373 --> 02:02:50,065
What I want is a husband.
2093
02:02:50,200 --> 02:02:52,808
I am your wife.
I am your wife!
2094
02:02:52,943 --> 02:02:56,145
And Lisa is your daughter.
She needs a father.
2095
02:02:56,281 --> 02:02:58,241
I am her father!
2096
02:03:04,888 --> 02:03:06,057
Do you remember the last time
2097
02:03:06,193 --> 02:03:07,922
that we laughed together?
2098
02:03:08,058 --> 02:03:09,788
Do you remember the last time
that the three of us
2099
02:03:09,923 --> 02:03:11,687
sat down and had
dinner together?
2100
02:03:13,159 --> 02:03:17,033
You won't even make love
to me anymore.
2101
02:03:17,168 --> 02:03:21,132
I gift you my life, and I have
nothing left in me to give you.
2102
02:03:25,838 --> 02:03:27,303
Do you still love me?
2103
02:03:47,096 --> 02:03:51,360
When you're 40 and I'm 50,
we'll be back together.
2104
02:03:53,666 --> 02:03:55,100
You'll see.
2105
02:04:12,158 --> 02:04:13,752
I have to go.
2106
02:04:13,888 --> 02:04:15,418
Will you please stay?
2107
02:04:15,553 --> 02:04:19,287
I have to go. Okay?
If I stay, I'll never leave.
2108
02:04:19,422 --> 02:04:20,829
-Please...
-You have to let me go.
2109
02:04:20,964 --> 02:04:22,765
-Please, Priscilla.
-You have to let me go.
2110
02:04:45,518 --> 02:04:47,187
Fifty thousand
people gathered
2111
02:04:47,323 --> 02:04:49,187
in New Orleans earlier today
to mourn the passing
2112
02:04:49,322 --> 02:04:51,861
of gospel legend,
Mahalia Jackson.
2113
02:04:51,996 --> 02:04:53,164
Will you
come to Mississippi
2114
02:04:53,300 --> 02:04:55,231
and sing with us, Mr. Presley?
2115
02:04:55,366 --> 02:04:59,436
Why, B.B. King will be there.
Perhaps even
the Rolling Stones.
2116
02:04:59,572 --> 02:05:01,430
I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson.
2117
02:05:01,566 --> 02:05:04,774
The Colonel, he...
he won't allow it.
2118
02:05:04,909 --> 02:05:07,368
You are a man,
Mr. Presley.
2119
02:05:07,504 --> 02:05:08,873
And a man don't
make up his own mind
2120
02:05:09,008 --> 02:05:11,408
about matters of conscience.
2121
02:05:11,543 --> 02:05:13,646
Come on, Diskin.
Elvis needs a challenge
2122
02:05:13,782 --> 02:05:15,147
to get back on track.
2123
02:05:15,282 --> 02:05:17,689
Why won't the Colonel
let him go overseas?
2124
02:05:17,824 --> 02:05:19,584
-Security, Jerry.
You know that.
-Bullshit!
2125
02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:21,852
The Colonel's killing
his greatest asset
without a reason.
2126
02:05:21,987 --> 02:05:23,724
So what is the reason?
2127
02:05:23,859 --> 02:05:26,430
Colonel always has his reasons.
2128
02:05:26,565 --> 02:05:28,425
I'm not at liberty to divulge
2129
02:05:28,560 --> 02:05:30,261
personal information
about Mr. Parker.
2130
02:05:30,396 --> 02:05:32,395
- He lied.
2131
02:05:32,531 --> 02:05:33,867
There wasn't gonna be
an international tour
2132
02:05:34,003 --> 02:05:35,365
'cause he can't leave
the country.
2133
02:05:35,500 --> 02:05:37,603
He's got no citizenship,
no official identity.
2134
02:05:37,738 --> 02:05:39,037
He doesn't exist.
2135
02:05:39,173 --> 02:05:42,339
There never was
a Colonel Tom Parker.
2136
02:05:42,474 --> 02:05:44,209
What are you
talking about, Jerry?
2137
02:05:45,609 --> 02:05:46,879
-Hey, whoa, whoa!
2138
02:05:47,015 --> 02:05:47,945
Get him
an ice bucket!
2139
02:05:52,558 --> 02:05:53,887
Colonel's a smart man.
2140
02:05:54,022 --> 02:05:55,325
There's got to be
another reason.
2141
02:05:55,460 --> 02:05:56,659
Come on, man!
2142
02:05:56,794 --> 02:05:58,221
I will
stay here at home,
2143
02:05:58,356 --> 02:06:00,427
and I will work
and I will worry.
2144
02:06:00,562 --> 02:06:02,892
I mean,
why the Colonel
kept turning them down,
2145
02:06:03,028 --> 02:06:03,899
I have no idea, man.
2146
02:06:05,636 --> 02:06:07,067
Get out of the way!
2147
02:06:09,107 --> 02:06:12,908
Now, you listen to me.
The only thing that matters...
2148
02:06:13,043 --> 02:06:16,071
is that that man
gets up on that stage tonight.
2149
02:06:17,741 --> 02:06:20,652
If he was my son,
I'd put him in a hospital.
2150
02:06:25,189 --> 02:06:28,286
Well, of course, this is
a Presley Enterprises decision.
2151
02:06:29,227 --> 02:06:30,552
Vernon?
2152
02:06:31,957 --> 02:06:34,490
Well... um...
2153
02:06:35,533 --> 02:06:37,799
Well, what can you...
2154
02:06:37,934 --> 02:06:40,133
What can you do for him,
Dr. Nick?
2155
02:06:42,435 --> 02:06:49,208
His truth is marching on
2156
02:06:54,454 --> 02:07:00,054
His truth is marching on
2157
02:07:14,539 --> 02:07:16,665
Thank you. Thank you.
2158
02:07:16,800 --> 02:07:18,807
Now he's gonna ask the house
lights to be brought up,
2159
02:07:18,942 --> 02:07:20,304
'cause we've been
looking at him.
2160
02:07:20,440 --> 02:07:22,272
He wants to look at us now.
He loves this.
2161
02:07:22,408 --> 02:07:23,778
I'd like to turn
the house lights up,
2162
02:07:23,913 --> 02:07:25,710
-ladies and gentlemen.
-Eh?
2163
02:07:25,845 --> 02:07:28,648
'Cause now that you've seen me,
I'd like to take a look at you.
2164
02:07:31,417 --> 02:07:33,625
Oh, you're beautiful.
Thank you.
2165
02:07:33,760 --> 02:07:35,353
He'll mention the VIPs
that are here.
2166
02:07:35,489 --> 02:07:37,560
We've got some high-rollers
in here tonight.
2167
02:07:37,695 --> 02:07:38,991
Get ready for the spotlight.
2168
02:07:39,127 --> 02:07:42,490
Mr. International Hotel
himself.
2169
02:07:42,625 --> 02:07:44,863
-Thank you.
-Ah, there you go.
2170
02:07:44,998 --> 02:07:47,431
And right next to him,
2171
02:07:47,566 --> 02:07:52,369
is my so-called manager,
Colonel Tom Parker.
2172
02:07:52,504 --> 02:07:55,945
-There he is.
-Come on.
2173
02:07:56,081 --> 02:08:01,284
But I hear rumors
that Colonel is an alien.
2174
02:08:04,183 --> 02:08:05,784
Got here on my rocket ship.
2175
02:08:08,392 --> 02:08:09,420
Oh.
2176
02:08:13,323 --> 02:08:15,392
Somebody call the FBI
2177
02:08:15,528 --> 02:08:17,967
and tell 'em that
he has abducted me,
2178
02:08:18,102 --> 02:08:22,434
that he has locked me
in this golden cage,
2179
02:08:22,569 --> 02:08:26,573
to keep me here forever
with you, ladies and gentlemen.
2180
02:08:29,806 --> 02:08:32,415
So I'm caught in a trap
2181
02:08:32,550 --> 02:08:35,083
I can't get out
2182
02:08:36,582 --> 02:08:40,121
'Cause Colonel's got some
big debts, baby.
2183
02:08:44,187 --> 02:08:46,293
Excuse me.
2184
02:08:46,428 --> 02:08:49,795
Well, this is the last show
I'm ever playing here.
2185
02:08:51,466 --> 02:08:56,600
I'm gonna get on my jet plane,
the Lisa Marie...
2186
02:08:56,735 --> 02:09:01,169
It's named after my, uh...
my beautiful daughter.
2187
02:09:01,305 --> 02:09:03,309
And I'm gonna fly away.
2188
02:09:05,110 --> 02:09:07,177
No, no, no...
2189
02:09:07,313 --> 02:09:10,249
You know, I'm gonna fly away.
2190
02:09:10,385 --> 02:09:12,282
Stop the show.
Stop this show!
2191
02:09:12,417 --> 02:09:13,522
Come on,
get this curtain down.
2192
02:09:13,658 --> 02:09:15,586
Fuck the International.
2193
02:09:15,721 --> 02:09:18,955
Mr. Schilling, what the devil
is happening here?
2194
02:09:19,091 --> 02:09:20,490
And Las Vegas.
2195
02:09:20,626 --> 02:09:21,798
That's what
he wants to know.
2196
02:09:21,934 --> 02:09:24,297
Ain't no one
gonna stop me, man.
2197
02:09:25,966 --> 02:09:28,734
Oh! Security.
2198
02:09:28,869 --> 02:09:30,274
Security!
2199
02:09:31,876 --> 02:09:35,477
Security, security! Security!
2200
02:09:35,612 --> 02:09:37,775
800 shows!
2201
02:09:37,910 --> 02:09:40,775
You don't have
a goddamn passport,
you son of a bitch!
2202
02:09:41,553 --> 02:09:43,151
You are fired!
2203
02:09:43,951 --> 02:09:45,956
You are fired!
2204
02:09:46,822 --> 02:09:49,190
You're fired!
2205
02:09:59,032 --> 02:10:00,564
You're fired.
2206
02:10:06,545 --> 02:10:08,011
E., I--
2207
02:10:10,214 --> 02:10:12,642
Colonel, I gotta--
I'll talk him down.
2208
02:10:21,161 --> 02:10:23,290
This is Colonel Tom Parker.
I wish it to be known
2209
02:10:23,426 --> 02:10:26,561
that Dr. Nick's services
are no longer required.
2210
02:10:26,696 --> 02:10:28,031
Thank you.
2211
02:10:29,467 --> 02:10:31,027
Hmm.
2212
02:10:31,162 --> 02:10:32,970
Well, Diskin...
2213
02:10:33,105 --> 02:10:35,500
if the boy wants to set out
on his own,
2214
02:10:35,635 --> 02:10:38,567
it's all right by me,
but Presley Enterprises
2215
02:10:38,703 --> 02:10:41,039
is going to cough up
what it owes.
2216
02:10:41,175 --> 02:10:43,146
-Are you ready?
-Ready.
2217
02:10:43,281 --> 02:10:45,680
Gasoline for the first trip
to the Hayride...
2218
02:10:45,816 --> 02:10:47,541
one dollar and 25 cents.
2219
02:10:47,677 --> 02:10:49,545
Un-recouped promotional costs
2220
02:10:49,681 --> 02:10:52,416
pertaining to souvenir
calendars, $100.
2221
02:10:52,552 --> 02:10:54,925
Collectible trading cards,
$100.
2222
02:10:55,060 --> 02:10:58,187
Posters, flyers and programs,
$100.
2223
02:10:58,323 --> 02:11:00,354
Balloons, $50...
2224
02:11:14,076 --> 02:11:15,274
What's the hold-up?
2225
02:11:15,410 --> 02:11:18,213
Sorry, E.P. Your daddy
won't come down.
2226
02:11:23,081 --> 02:11:24,087
Daddy.
2227
02:11:42,334 --> 02:11:44,271
What is this?
2228
02:11:44,407 --> 02:11:48,078
Well, that is what we owe
the Colonel.
2229
02:11:50,945 --> 02:11:52,577
We're broke.
2230
02:11:55,521 --> 02:11:58,248
Daddy, I've been playing this
mausoleum for a hundred years.
2231
02:11:58,383 --> 02:11:59,857
How could we be broke?
2232
02:11:59,993 --> 02:12:01,654
You spend
so much money.
2233
02:12:01,790 --> 02:12:05,324
You know, you got the cars
and the girls and the clothes,
2234
02:12:05,459 --> 02:12:07,491
and all the...
you know, new airplane.
2235
02:12:07,627 --> 02:12:09,099
Daddy, you are
my business manager.
2236
02:12:09,234 --> 02:12:10,629
You're supposed
to be taking care of business.
2237
02:12:10,764 --> 02:12:13,427
I don't know what to tell you,
son, we're broke!
2238
02:12:13,562 --> 02:12:15,167
We're plain broke.
2239
02:12:15,302 --> 02:12:17,168
Gotta take the Colonel back.
2240
02:12:17,304 --> 02:12:19,468
I am not taking him back.
2241
02:12:19,603 --> 02:12:21,210
We're gonna lose Graceland.
2242
02:12:33,793 --> 02:12:35,686
I am not taking him back!
2243
02:12:38,831 --> 02:12:40,129
He takes everything from me.
2244
02:12:40,265 --> 02:12:42,525
He takes 50%
of everything that I make!
2245
02:12:42,660 --> 02:12:43,930
And now he wants
to take the home
2246
02:12:44,066 --> 02:12:45,531
that we bought for Mama!
2247
02:12:46,772 --> 02:12:47,938
Listen to me, Daddy.
2248
02:12:48,074 --> 02:12:50,938
That old bastard
can sue if he wants,
2249
02:12:51,073 --> 02:12:52,868
but I am flying away.
2250
02:12:53,977 --> 02:12:55,508
With or without you.
2251
02:13:05,520 --> 02:13:08,893
Oh, you bloodsucking,
old vampire.
2252
02:13:09,029 --> 02:13:12,259
You bled me dry
and you still want more?
2253
02:13:12,395 --> 02:13:14,658
I'm not an uncaring man,
Mr. Presley.
2254
02:13:14,794 --> 02:13:17,762
Don't you "Mr. Presley" me,
you toad.
2255
02:13:17,897 --> 02:13:20,938
If you are so determined
to get out of our contract--
2256
02:13:21,074 --> 02:13:22,435
You're goddamn right
I want out.
2257
02:13:22,571 --> 02:13:24,403
Well, I will personally
loan you the money
2258
02:13:24,539 --> 02:13:26,439
that you owe
to Jamboree Attractions.
2259
02:13:26,575 --> 02:13:28,242
Yeah, you'll still have
your claws in me.
2260
02:13:28,378 --> 02:13:29,606
You'll still have me
working here
2261
02:13:29,742 --> 02:13:31,575
like a goddamn slave
in a salt mine,
2262
02:13:31,710 --> 02:13:34,041
you phony, no-good
piece of trash!
2263
02:13:34,176 --> 02:13:37,748
I oughta shoot you in your fat,
goddamn face!
2264
02:13:38,888 --> 02:13:40,152
Who are you?
2265
02:13:40,288 --> 02:13:42,351
I am you. And you are me.
2266
02:13:42,486 --> 02:13:43,986
Cut the horseshit!
2267
02:13:44,121 --> 02:13:46,159
Everything I've ever known
about you has been a lie.
2268
02:13:46,294 --> 02:13:47,892
E.P., you all good?
2269
02:13:48,028 --> 02:13:52,493
My past is the least
of your problems, my boy.
2270
02:13:52,628 --> 02:13:58,036
Everyone else
you associate with
lives from you, Mr. Presley.
2271
02:13:58,171 --> 02:14:00,076
Even Vernon.
2272
02:14:00,212 --> 02:14:03,204
That's right,
even your own daddy
2273
02:14:03,340 --> 02:14:06,813
has looked after himself
before he's looked after you.
2274
02:14:06,948 --> 02:14:09,886
Yes, I have lived
from you, too,
but the difference is
2275
02:14:10,021 --> 02:14:11,784
you have also lived from me.
2276
02:14:11,920 --> 02:14:16,618
We have supported each other.
Because we shared a dream.
2277
02:14:16,753 --> 02:14:20,056
We are the same, you and I.
2278
02:14:20,192 --> 02:14:25,631
We are two odd,
lonely children,
reaching for eternity.
2279
02:14:28,305 --> 02:14:31,071
Maybe you should fly away,
my boy.
2280
02:14:31,206 --> 02:14:35,045
Away from all of this.
2281
02:14:35,181 --> 02:14:39,040
But if you do choose
to leave...
2282
02:14:40,747 --> 02:14:44,117
then I, for one,
will be very lonely.
2283
02:14:44,252 --> 02:14:46,815
So would your father.
2284
02:14:46,951 --> 02:14:50,618
But I think you may
be lonely, too.
2285
02:14:53,526 --> 02:14:56,561
Oh, you see, my boy, the...
2286
02:14:56,697 --> 02:15:00,061
truth about
the Rock of Eternity...
2287
02:15:03,374 --> 02:15:08,311
It is forever
just beyond our reach.
2288
02:15:36,640 --> 02:15:41,344
Do the chairs
in your parlor
2289
02:15:43,081 --> 02:15:46,778
Seem empty and bare?
2290
02:15:49,079 --> 02:15:53,389
Do you gaze
at your doorstep
2291
02:15:55,191 --> 02:15:58,658
Picture me there?
2292
02:16:00,993 --> 02:16:05,401
Is your heart
filled with pain?
2293
02:16:06,731 --> 02:16:11,000
Shall I come back again?
2294
02:16:12,845 --> 02:16:15,572
Tell me, dear
2295
02:16:15,708 --> 02:16:20,878
Are you lonesome tonight?
2296
02:16:22,883 --> 02:16:27,291
Is your heart
filled with pain?
2297
02:16:28,588 --> 02:16:32,890
Shall I come back again?
2298
02:16:34,867 --> 02:16:37,363
Tell me, dear
2299
02:16:37,499 --> 02:16:43,439
Are you lonesome tonight?
2300
02:16:51,414 --> 02:16:54,516
Son, I know...
I know, I...
2301
02:16:57,219 --> 02:16:59,213
I wanna try and...
2302
02:17:00,888 --> 02:17:04,218
I wanna try and fix this.
You know...
2303
02:17:08,261 --> 02:17:09,465
Daddy...
2304
02:17:15,030 --> 02:17:17,264
Tell that son of a bitch...
2305
02:17:17,399 --> 02:17:19,772
I want things to go back
to the way they were.
2306
02:17:28,283 --> 02:17:29,287
And, Daddy...
2307
02:17:31,984 --> 02:17:36,250
Tell the Colonel
to send up Dr. Nick.
2308
02:17:54,470 --> 02:17:56,170
It's a beautiful day
in Las Vegas,
2309
02:17:56,305 --> 02:17:57,710
with lots going on
this weekend.
2310
02:17:57,845 --> 02:18:00,116
Those teen sensations,
The Jacksons,
2311
02:18:00,251 --> 02:18:01,815
are causing a lot of excitement
2312
02:18:01,950 --> 02:18:04,182
with their residency
at the MGM Grand.
2313
02:18:04,318 --> 02:18:07,221
And for the older crowd,
Elvis is back for a fifth year.
2314
02:18:07,356 --> 02:18:08,722
And don't we love him.
2315
02:18:08,857 --> 02:18:10,552
In Entertainment News today,
2316
02:18:10,687 --> 02:18:12,957
Elvis Presley is in talks to
play opposite Barbra Streisand
2317
02:18:13,092 --> 02:18:14,862
in a remake
of A Star is Born.
2318
02:18:14,998 --> 02:18:16,430
These days,
when he's not slurring
2319
02:18:16,565 --> 02:18:18,161
on stage in Vegas or playing
2320
02:18:18,296 --> 02:18:20,461
the same old
domestic concert circuit,
2321
02:18:20,597 --> 02:18:22,769
the singer spends weeks
at a time in his bedroom,
2322
02:18:22,904 --> 02:18:24,806
tormented by his
growing waistline.
2323
02:18:24,942 --> 02:18:26,872
Sounds like it won't be
much of a stretch for him
2324
02:18:27,007 --> 02:18:29,171
to play the role
of a washed-up singer.
2325
02:18:32,811 --> 02:18:34,880
Oh, look, here they come.
2326
02:18:37,314 --> 02:18:38,781
-Are you all right?
-Yep.
2327
02:18:38,916 --> 02:18:40,521
All right, Daddy loves you.
2328
02:18:40,657 --> 02:18:43,017
-Bye, baby.
-Come on, baby.
2329
02:18:43,152 --> 02:18:44,494
-Bye, Papa.
-Good girl.
2330
02:18:44,629 --> 02:18:46,661
-Bye, baby.
-Give me your hand.
2331
02:18:47,833 --> 02:18:49,224
Hi!
2332
02:18:49,360 --> 02:18:51,996
-Here she is.
-Hi, baby. How you doing?
2333
02:18:54,834 --> 02:18:56,365
Want to say goodbye to Daddy?
2334
02:18:56,501 --> 02:18:59,509
-Bye, Daddy.
-You're so good.
2335
02:19:01,203 --> 02:19:03,672
Hi. How are you?
How you doing?
2336
02:19:03,808 --> 02:19:05,174
We're okay.
2337
02:19:24,529 --> 02:19:25,733
Hey.
2338
02:19:27,037 --> 02:19:28,197
Hi.
2339
02:19:30,767 --> 02:19:31,970
Hmm.
2340
02:19:37,544 --> 02:19:39,076
How are you doing?
2341
02:19:54,259 --> 02:19:57,429
Honey, there's this place
in San Diego
2342
02:19:57,565 --> 02:19:59,162
that you can go to rest.
2343
02:20:00,235 --> 02:20:01,903
To heal.
2344
02:20:02,039 --> 02:20:03,897
After the show, you can fly
directly and be in a clinic
2345
02:20:04,033 --> 02:20:05,074
before anyone knows.
2346
02:20:05,210 --> 02:20:06,400
It's all been arranged.
2347
02:20:08,809 --> 02:20:11,075
I'm gonna be 40 soon, 'Cilla.
2348
02:20:13,910 --> 02:20:16,110
Forty.
2349
02:20:16,245 --> 02:20:18,588
And nobody's gonna remember me.
2350
02:20:21,118 --> 02:20:23,120
I never did anything lasting.
2351
02:20:25,623 --> 02:20:28,661
I never made that classic film
that I could be proud of.
2352
02:20:28,796 --> 02:20:30,930
But what about A Star is Born?
2353
02:20:32,930 --> 02:20:35,231
Uh...
2354
02:20:37,275 --> 02:20:40,401
Barbra... the Colonel...
2355
02:20:46,978 --> 02:20:49,986
Please go.
2356
02:20:50,121 --> 02:20:52,279
For Lisa?
2357
02:20:52,415 --> 02:20:54,822
If you dream it,
you can do it, baby.
2358
02:20:57,053 --> 02:20:58,760
I'm all out of dreams.
2359
02:21:01,330 --> 02:21:02,995
Promise me.
2360
02:21:37,032 --> 02:21:40,703
I... will always... love you.
2361
02:21:58,885 --> 02:22:01,724
-Hi, baby.
2362
02:22:47,169 --> 02:22:49,538
Did you know
there's a kind of bird
2363
02:22:49,673 --> 02:22:51,870
that doesn't have any legs?
2364
02:22:52,005 --> 02:22:53,908
So it can't land on nothing.
2365
02:22:56,210 --> 02:22:58,308
It lives its whole life
on the wing.
2366
02:23:00,886 --> 02:23:04,649
When it gets tired,
it just spreads its wings
2367
02:23:04,785 --> 02:23:07,152
and sleeps on the wind.
2368
02:23:10,094 --> 02:23:13,455
If it ever does land,
even but one time...
2369
02:23:16,191 --> 02:23:17,800
so it dies.
2370
02:23:21,265 --> 02:23:22,662
Good evening.
2371
02:23:22,798 --> 02:23:25,939
Elvis Presley died today.
He was 42.
2372
02:23:26,075 --> 02:23:27,843
Apparently,
it was a heart attack.
2373
02:23:27,978 --> 02:23:29,838
He was found in his home
in Memphis...
2374
02:23:29,973 --> 02:23:32,045
President Carter
has just made a statement...
2375
02:23:32,181 --> 02:23:33,674
Elvis Presley's death
2376
02:23:33,809 --> 02:23:36,114
deprives our country
of a part of itself.
2377
02:23:36,249 --> 02:23:37,877
He was unique
and irreplaceable.
2378
02:23:38,013 --> 02:23:39,480
Thousands
of mourners have gathered
2379
02:23:39,616 --> 02:23:41,022
outside the gates
of Graceland...
2380
02:23:41,157 --> 02:23:42,690
Using the styles
of white country
2381
02:23:42,825 --> 02:23:44,655
and Black rhythm and blues,
2382
02:23:44,790 --> 02:23:47,396
permanently changed the face
of American popular culture.
2383
02:23:47,532 --> 02:23:49,790
The outpouring
of grief can be seen
everywhere.
2384
02:23:49,926 --> 02:23:52,626
He was a symbol
to people the world over,
2385
02:23:52,761 --> 02:23:55,670
of the vitality,
rebelliousness...
2386
02:23:55,805 --> 02:23:58,841
What killed my boy?
2387
02:23:58,976 --> 02:24:02,070
Them doctors say
it was his heart.
2388
02:24:02,205 --> 02:24:04,545
Others, the pills.
2389
02:24:04,681 --> 02:24:08,081
Some say it was me.
2390
02:24:08,216 --> 02:24:11,854
No. I'll tell you
what killed him.
2391
02:24:13,149 --> 02:24:16,183
It was love.
2392
02:24:16,318 --> 02:24:18,592
His love for you.
2393
02:24:21,130 --> 02:24:23,667
You know, a few weeks
before he died,
2394
02:24:23,803 --> 02:24:27,701
I saw him sing
for the very last time.
2395
02:24:27,837 --> 02:24:30,004
He could barely stand up.
2396
02:24:31,300 --> 02:24:33,975
"Unchained Melody."
2397
02:24:34,110 --> 02:24:37,374
From an album called
Unchained Melody.
2398
02:24:37,509 --> 02:24:41,380
Makes a lot of sense. Okay.
2399
02:24:41,516 --> 02:24:45,984
But that night,
he sang as he always did.
2400
02:24:46,119 --> 02:24:48,324
With all his heart and soul.
2401
02:24:48,460 --> 02:24:49,918
How you like it so far?
2402
02:24:53,029 --> 02:24:56,394
That old voice
rang out,
2403
02:24:56,529 --> 02:25:01,062
-and he sang with all his life.
2404
02:25:01,197 --> 02:25:06,539
Oh, my love
2405
02:25:06,675 --> 02:25:08,875
My darling
2406
02:25:09,011 --> 02:25:13,174
I've hungered
for your touch
2407
02:25:13,310 --> 02:25:19,020
A long, lonely time
2408
02:25:21,888 --> 02:25:27,395
Time goes by
2409
02:25:27,531 --> 02:25:30,059
So slowly
2410
02:25:30,195 --> 02:25:34,335
And time can do so much
2411
02:25:34,471 --> 02:25:36,735
Are you
2412
02:25:36,870 --> 02:25:41,235
Still mine?
2413
02:25:41,371 --> 02:25:48,280
I need your love, ooh
2414
02:25:49,554 --> 02:25:54,457
I need your love
2415
02:25:54,593 --> 02:26:00,021
God speed your love
2416
02:26:00,156 --> 02:26:04,593
To me
2417
02:26:06,302 --> 02:26:13,368
Lonely rivers flow to the sea
To the sea
2418
02:26:13,503 --> 02:26:19,612
To the open arms of the sea
2419
02:26:22,079 --> 02:26:28,991
Lonely rivers cry
Wait for me
Wait for me
2420
02:26:29,991 --> 02:26:33,297
I'll be coming home
2421
02:26:33,432 --> 02:26:38,501
Wait for me
2422
02:26:38,637 --> 02:26:43,970
My love, my darling
2423
02:26:44,105 --> 02:26:48,637
I've hungered for your kiss
2424
02:26:49,681 --> 02:26:55,880
A long, lonely time
2425
02:26:56,015 --> 02:26:57,448
When I was a child,
ladies and gentlemen,
2426
02:26:57,583 --> 02:26:59,780
I was a dreamer.
I read comic books
2427
02:26:59,916 --> 02:27:02,519
and I was the hero
of the comic book.
2428
02:27:02,655 --> 02:27:05,961
I saw movies and I was
the hero in the movie.
2429
02:27:06,097 --> 02:27:08,060
So every dream
that I ever dreamed
2430
02:27:08,195 --> 02:27:10,461
has come true
a hundred times.
2431
02:27:12,132 --> 02:27:18,799
Are you still mine?
2432
02:27:20,371 --> 02:27:27,313
I need your love, ooh
2433
02:27:30,549 --> 02:27:32,921
I learned very early
in life that...
2434
02:27:33,057 --> 02:27:36,024
"Without a song,
the day would never end,
2435
02:27:36,160 --> 02:27:38,785
without a song,
a man ain't got a friend,
2436
02:27:38,921 --> 02:27:42,024
without a song,
the road would never bend,
2437
02:27:42,159 --> 02:27:43,192
without a song."
2438
02:27:43,328 --> 02:27:45,093
So I keep singing a song.
2439
02:27:45,228 --> 02:27:47,897
To...
2440
02:27:48,033 --> 02:27:51,098
Ooh-hoo
2441
02:27:51,234 --> 02:27:55,077
Ooh
2442
02:27:55,776 --> 02:27:57,105
Me
2443
02:28:37,355 --> 02:28:40,089
Elvis has left the building.
2444
02:28:56,565 --> 02:29:00,340
As the snow flies
2445
02:29:02,279 --> 02:29:05,180
On a cold and gray
Chicago mornin'
2446
02:29:05,315 --> 02:29:07,517
A poor little baby child
is born
2447
02:29:07,652 --> 02:29:09,316
In the ghetto
2448
02:29:12,823 --> 02:29:16,290
And his mama cries
2449
02:29:18,430 --> 02:29:21,425
'Cause if there's one thing
that she don't need
2450
02:29:21,561 --> 02:29:24,160
Is another hungry mouth
to feed
2451
02:29:24,295 --> 02:29:26,366
In the ghetto
2452
02:29:29,237 --> 02:29:31,707
People, don't you understand
2453
02:29:31,843 --> 02:29:35,168
The child needs a helping hand
2454
02:29:35,304 --> 02:29:39,848
Or he'll grow to be
an angry young man some day
2455
02:29:39,984 --> 02:29:42,312
Take a look at you and me
2456
02:29:42,447 --> 02:29:45,882
Are we too blind to see?
2457
02:29:46,018 --> 02:29:51,820
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
2458
02:29:53,524 --> 02:29:57,562
Well, the world turns...
2459
02:30:06,809 --> 02:30:09,503
"You never
stood in that man's shoes
2460
02:30:09,639 --> 02:30:12,039
Or saw things through his eyes
2461
02:30:12,174 --> 02:30:14,608
Or stood and watched
with helpless hands
2462
02:30:14,743 --> 02:30:17,548
While the heart inside you dies
2463
02:30:17,684 --> 02:30:20,350
So help your brother
along the way
2464
02:30:20,486 --> 02:30:23,225
No matter where he starts
2465
02:30:23,361 --> 02:30:28,722
For the same God that made you
Made him, too
2466
02:30:28,857 --> 02:30:31,266
These men with broken hearts"
2467
02:30:32,870 --> 02:30:36,139
And his mama cries
2468
02:30:38,509 --> 02:30:41,277
And a hungry, little boy
with a runny nose
2469
02:30:41,412 --> 02:30:43,778
Plays in the street
as the cold wind blows
2470
02:30:43,913 --> 02:30:45,544
In the ghetto
2471
02:30:49,019 --> 02:30:52,716
And his hunger burns
2472
02:30:54,359 --> 02:30:57,383
So he starts to roam
the streets at night
2473
02:30:57,519 --> 02:30:59,860
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
2474
02:30:59,995 --> 02:31:01,923
In the ghetto
2475
02:31:05,736 --> 02:31:10,940
Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
2476
02:31:11,075 --> 02:31:13,637
He buys a gun, steals a car
2477
02:31:13,773 --> 02:31:16,911
Tries to run,
but he don't get far
2478
02:31:17,046 --> 02:31:20,777
And his mama cries
2479
02:31:45,167 --> 02:31:48,034
On a cold and gray
Chicago mornin'
2480
02:31:48,170 --> 02:31:51,681
Another little baby child
is born
2481
02:31:51,816 --> 02:31:53,645
In the ghetto
2482
02:32:04,093 --> 02:32:07,197
And his mama cries
2483
02:32:21,937 --> 02:32:25,875
Summer kisses, winter tears
2484
02:32:30,814 --> 02:32:35,189
Summer kisses, winter tears
2485
02:32:35,324 --> 02:32:39,690
That was what she gave to me
2486
02:32:39,826 --> 02:32:43,690
Never thought
I'd travel all alone
2487
02:32:43,826 --> 02:32:49,998
The trail of memories
2488
02:35:23,822 --> 02:35:26,021
Don't tiptoe, stomp my ground
2489
02:35:26,157 --> 02:35:28,558
Gotta let 'em know
we're comin'
2490
02:35:28,693 --> 02:35:30,461
Just stay there, woman
2491
02:35:30,597 --> 02:35:32,402
Engine still runnin'
2492
02:35:32,537 --> 02:35:36,471
Get dressed
Like the whole world watchin'
2493
02:35:36,607 --> 02:35:39,834
God bless
Gotta leave 'em shooken
2494
02:35:39,970 --> 02:35:42,044
Girls goin' wild, too cray
2495
02:35:42,180 --> 02:35:44,206
Look at what you made
2496
02:35:44,341 --> 02:35:47,984
Always come correct
There's no turnin' back
2497
02:35:48,120 --> 02:35:50,085
Takin' bigger steps
2498
02:35:50,221 --> 02:35:52,052
That's all I can do
2499
02:35:52,187 --> 02:35:55,684
That's all for the moment
If that's all right with you
2500
02:35:55,819 --> 02:35:57,885
That's all right, Mama
2501
02:35:58,021 --> 02:36:00,062
That's all right with you
2502
02:36:00,197 --> 02:36:01,889
That's all right, Mama
2503
02:36:02,024 --> 02:36:04,698
Anyway you do, that's all right
2504
02:36:05,532 --> 02:36:07,426
That's all right
2505
02:36:07,562 --> 02:36:12,767
That's all right now, Mama
Anyway you do
2506
02:36:12,903 --> 02:36:16,540
We can't go on together
2507
02:36:16,676 --> 02:36:19,108
With suspicious minds
2508
02:36:21,110 --> 02:36:25,054
And we can't build our dreams
2509
02:36:25,190 --> 02:36:28,150
On suspicious minds
2510
02:36:48,209 --> 02:36:54,407
There must be peace
and understanding sometime
2511
02:36:55,880 --> 02:36:57,917
Strong winds of promise
2512
02:36:58,052 --> 02:37:03,488
That will blow away
the doubt and fear
2513
02:37:03,624 --> 02:37:07,893
If I can dream of a warmer sun
2514
02:37:08,029 --> 02:37:11,463
Where hope keeps shining
on everyone
2515
02:37:11,599 --> 02:37:15,095
Tell me why, oh, why,
2516
02:37:15,230 --> 02:37:22,072
Oh, why won't that sun appear
2517
02:37:28,110 --> 02:37:30,817
We're lost in a cloud
2518
02:37:31,915 --> 02:37:35,752
With too much rain
2519
02:37:35,887 --> 02:37:39,426
We're trapped in a world
2520
02:37:39,562 --> 02:37:43,293
That's troubled with pain
2521
02:37:43,429 --> 02:37:49,336
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
2522
02:37:49,472 --> 02:37:56,370
He can redeem his soul and fly
2523
02:37:58,280 --> 02:38:01,146
Oh...
2524
02:38:01,282 --> 02:38:07,051
Deep in my heart,
there's a trembling question
2525
02:38:08,725 --> 02:38:12,326
Still I am sure
that the answers
2526
02:38:12,462 --> 02:38:15,831
The answers gonna come somehow
2527
02:38:15,966 --> 02:38:23,573
Out there in the dark,
there's a beckoning candle
2528
02:38:23,708 --> 02:38:27,533
And while I can think,
while I can talk
2529
02:38:27,668 --> 02:38:31,741
While I can stand,
while I can walk
2530
02:38:31,876 --> 02:38:34,408
While I can dream
2531
02:38:35,419 --> 02:38:38,115
Please let my dream
2532
02:38:39,322 --> 02:38:43,692
Come true
2533
02:38:46,890 --> 02:38:50,728
Right now
2534
02:38:50,864 --> 02:38:53,196
Let it come true right now
2535
02:38:54,237 --> 02:38:58,201
Oh, yeah
2536
02:39:03,375 --> 02:39:04,846
- Thank you.
2537
02:39:04,981 --> 02:39:06,440
You're fantastic.
Thank you very much.
