He'll say one, two, three

00:00:51,784 --> 00:00:54,054
And you will be...
11
00:00:54,853 --> 00:00:59,960
In cotton candy land
12
00:01:00,026 --> 00:01:02,228
[man] For those of youwho are wondering,
13
00:01:02,295 --> 00:01:05,231
who this fella here is,
14
00:01:05,298 --> 00:01:11,104

[siren wailing]
19
00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:42,369
Without me, there would beno Elvis Presley.
20
00:01:42,435 --> 00:01:44,104
And yet, there are some
21
00:01:44,170 --> 00:01:47,673
who'd make me outto be the villain
22
00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:49,675
of this here story.

["Suspicious Minds" by

24
00:02:04,357 --> 00:02:09,062
[newscaster 1]
Colonel Tom Parkerwas a liar, a cheat, a con man.
25
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:12,631
A shocking new bookaccuses Colonel Tom Parker
26
00:02:12,698 --> 00:02:15,301
of massive fraudand mis-management.
27
00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:21,774
Parker received as much
as 50% of Elvis' income.
28
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,675
He worked Elvis like a mule,
29
00:02:23,742 --> 00:02:25,378
to support his owngambling addiction.
30
00:02:25,445 --> 00:02:27,213
[newscaster 2] The court findsthat the compensation received
31
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,249
by Colonel Parkerwas excessive,
32
00:02:29,315 --> 00:02:31,117
and shocked the conscienceof the court.
33
00:02:31,184 --> 00:02:32,986
[newscaster 1] Many believethat Colonel Tom Parker
34
00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:36,089
was responsible for the deathof Elvis Presley.
35
00:02:37,689 --> 00:02:39,159
[Parker] Now, you listen to me.
36
00:02:39,225 --> 00:02:42,495
The only thing that matters
is that that man
37
00:02:42,561 --> 00:02:44,897
gets up on that stage tonight.
38
00:02:44,964 --> 00:02:48,268

His truth is marching on
46
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,450
[newscaster, voice echoing]
Tom Parker killed him!
47
00:04:10,517 --> 00:04:13,620
No! That's not true.
48
00:04:13,685 --> 00:04:15,888
[breath shaking]
49
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:22,028
[grunting]
50
00:04:26,432 --> 00:04:30,904
No, no, I didn't kill him.
51
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,841
I made Elvis Presley.
52
00:04:37,944 --> 00:04:41,780
Nothing all those muckrakerssaid in their books was true.
53
00:04:41,847 --> 00:04:44,250
Me and Elvis, we was partners.
54
00:04:44,317 --> 00:04:50,290
It was Elvis the Showman
and the Colonel the Snowman.
55
00:04:50,356 --> 00:04:52,225
[female reporter]
This is the lying Dutchman.
56
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:55,428
[Parker] I always knew I wasdestined for greatness.
57
00:04:55,495 --> 00:04:58,331
As an orphan,I ran away to the carnival,
58
00:04:58,398 --> 00:05:01,367
where I learned the artof the "snow job,"
59
00:05:01,434 --> 00:05:04,537
of emptying a rube's walletwhile leaving them with nothing
60
00:05:04,604 --> 00:05:07,240
-but a smile on their face.
-[applause]
61
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:09,108
But a carnival actthat would get you
62
00:05:09,175 --> 00:05:11,877
the most money, the most snow,
63
00:05:11,945 --> 00:05:15,515
had great costumesand a unique trick,
64
00:05:15,582 --> 00:05:17,283
that gave the audience feelings
65
00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:20,786
they weren't surethey should enjoy.
66
00:05:20,852 --> 00:05:22,854
But they do.
67
00:05:22,922 --> 00:05:28,027
And I knew if I couldfind such an act,
68
00:05:28,094 --> 00:05:32,198
I could create the greatest...
69
00:05:32,265 --> 00:05:33,566
show...
70
00:05:33,633 --> 00:05:34,833
on...
71
00:05:35,568 --> 00:05:38,104
earth.
72
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:41,674
After the carnival, I movedinto the music business...
73
00:05:41,740 --> 00:05:44,277
the country music business.
74
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:48,847
I partnered with one of itsbiggest stars, Hank Snow.
75
00:05:48,915 --> 00:05:54,587
Pardon meif I'm sentimental
76
00:05:54,654 --> 00:05:56,723
When we say goodbye
77
00:05:56,788 --> 00:06:01,427
[Parker] And his hapless son,Jimmie Rodgers Snow.
78
00:06:01,494 --> 00:06:02,495
Hot-diggity-dog, Billy.
79
00:06:02,562 --> 00:06:04,464
-I got one.
-Oh, yeah.
80
00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:07,467
Can't believe it.
Blow their socks off.
81
00:06:07,533 --> 00:06:09,569
Security. Security, Diskin!
82
00:06:09,636 --> 00:06:12,672
Tell the mayors of these towns
that we need a police escort
83
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:14,240
for Hank when he arrives.
84
00:06:14,307 --> 00:06:17,543
In Baton Rouge, we are going
to have a carny wedding
85
00:06:17,610 --> 00:06:19,045
at the top of the Ferris Wheel,
86
00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:21,247
so, Zina, pick out
your next husband.
87
00:06:21,314 --> 00:06:23,882
In New Orleans, we're gonna
use the loudspeaker
88
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:25,952
-to announce you, Hank.
-[Hank] Oh, sure.
89
00:06:26,019 --> 00:06:28,321
[speaking Ciazarn]
90
00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:29,788
[in English]
...you are going to march
in the parade.
91
00:06:29,855 --> 00:06:31,157
[both speaking Ciazarn]
92
00:06:31,224 --> 00:06:33,159
Am I gonna be riding
on an elephant, too?
93
00:06:33,226 --> 00:06:35,495
A man on an elephant
looks important.
94
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:36,763
And taller.
95
00:06:36,828 --> 00:06:38,131
We still need to get
a novelty act
96
00:06:38,197 --> 00:06:39,999
-to bring in the young folk.
-Well, yes, yes,
97
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:43,036
that's why you have
a meeting with
the Duke of Paducah tonight.
98
00:06:43,102 --> 00:06:45,305
If we can book "the Funniest
Mouth in the South,"
99
00:06:45,371 --> 00:06:46,805
we'll have the greatest show
of the season.
100
00:06:46,872 --> 00:06:47,974
Hey, Jimmie,
turn that record off.
101
00:06:48,041 --> 00:06:49,509
Y'all have to hear this.
102
00:06:49,575 --> 00:06:51,411
Kids all over town
are playing it everywhere I go.

["That's All Right"
by Presley playing]
104
00:06:59,218 --> 00:07:00,819
I hear Negro rhythms.
105
00:07:00,886 --> 00:07:02,455
But with a country flavor.
106
00:07:02,522 --> 00:07:05,024
Sun Records?
That's Sam Phillips' label.
107
00:07:05,091 --> 00:07:06,626
[Parker] Oh, yeah, Phillips.
108
00:07:06,693 --> 00:07:09,529
He makes all those race records
with the colored singers.
109
00:07:09,595 --> 00:07:11,631
Well, this fella's
on the Hayride tonight,
110
00:07:11,698 --> 00:07:13,299
after me in the newcomer spot.
111
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:14,634
In Shreveport?
112
00:07:14,701 --> 00:07:17,537
No, they are not putting
a colored boy on the Hayride.
113
00:07:17,603 --> 00:07:20,872
That's the thing. He's white.
114
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:22,909
He's...
115
00:07:24,811 --> 00:07:26,212
He's white?
116

Excuse me. Bill, go time!

[Bill] I know, I know.

00:08:57,370 --> 00:08:58,971
-[girl] Hi!
-How's his stomach?
147
00:08:59,038 --> 00:09:00,373
I thought I'd grab him a Pepsi,
148
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,375
but poor thing's still shaking
like a leaf.
149
00:09:02,442 --> 00:09:05,344
I'll get him on the stage.
Come on. Let's go.

-Here.
151
00:09:09,081 --> 00:09:10,383
It'll settle your stomach.
152
00:09:10,450 --> 00:09:12,251
[Elvis] What if I forget
the words on live radio?
153
00:09:12,318 --> 00:09:14,587
All we gotta do out there's
just a bit of clownin' around.
154
00:09:14,654 --> 00:09:17,356
That's how we got this thing
started in the first place.
155
00:09:17,423 --> 00:09:19,158
Scotty and Bill are right,
Elvis.
156
00:09:19,225 --> 00:09:20,626
You're not out there
on your own.

to bring people together.

We're like a family,
160
00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:27,800

important thing of all.

00:13:17,897 --> 00:13:21,567
he needed to find a new singerfor his country act.
236
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:24,503

Mama, it's only four days.

Yeah, four days.
And then what?
385
00:21:28,154 --> 00:21:31,690
I knew a fella once,

It was all over in a flash.
387

Mama, I'm just trying
to take care of you and Daddy.
388
00:21:37,130 --> 00:21:39,065
That's all I have
ever cared about.
389
00:21:39,132 --> 00:21:40,832
I ain't ever gonna let us
get back to a place again
390
00:21:40,899 --> 00:21:42,135

How dare you?
393
00:21:47,106 --> 00:21:48,341
As the good Lord warns us,
394
00:21:48,408 --> 00:21:50,944
do not wear yourself out
to get rich.
395
00:21:51,010 --> 00:21:55,114

You know, Mama,
I was thinkin',
400
00:22:15,969 --> 00:22:17,971
maybe I'll buy you one of them
pink Cadillacs
401
00:22:18,037 --> 00:22:20,306
like you saw back when
you was working
at the hospital.
402
00:22:21,241 --> 00:22:23,343
I don't need no pink Cadillac.

It's like Daddy says, this
could all be over in a flash.
406
00:22:31,918 --> 00:22:34,721
I'm not fearful
of it being over, Booby.
407
00:22:34,820 --> 00:22:37,724
I don't know how to explain it.
408

But I saw it
in that girl's eyes.
409
00:22:41,527 --> 00:22:45,864
It's something beyond us,
but I know that whatever it is,
410
00:22:45,932 --> 00:22:48,434
it's something that...
411
00:22:48,501 --> 00:22:51,204
It's something
that can come between us.

-Ah, yes.
528
00:28:26,305 --> 00:28:29,875
The roar of the crowd.
The life on the road.
529
00:28:29,943 --> 00:28:32,278
And then calling home
to your loved ones,
530
00:28:32,345 --> 00:28:34,413
pretending nothing has changed,
531
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,216
when everything has.
532
00:28:37,951 --> 00:28:40,419
Yeah. Lost.
533
00:28:41,854 --> 00:28:44,523
I'm sorry, sir. I... I meant
I don't know the way out.
534
00:28:44,590 --> 00:28:49,261
Yeah, that is precisely
what I am saying.
535
00:28:49,328 --> 00:28:54,433
I... I saw you.
Apart from all the others.
536
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:56,535
Burdened.
537
00:28:56,602 --> 00:28:59,538
Like you don't know
how to get out of this.
538
00:29:00,573 --> 00:29:01,908
But I do.
539
00:29:03,442 --> 00:29:05,177
[Zina singing]
Snowman's coming
540
00:29:05,244 --> 00:29:06,679
Allow me to show you.
541
00:29:06,746 --> 00:29:09,482
Yes, he's coming
542
00:29:09,548 --> 00:29:14,153
Take his magic hand
543
00:29:14,220 --> 00:29:15,956
[Parker]
Creatures of the carnival.
544
00:29:16,023 --> 00:29:18,357
-And I am one myself.
-[crowd exclaiming]
545
00:29:18,424 --> 00:29:21,594
It's where I learned the art
of the snow job.
546
00:29:21,661 --> 00:29:23,195
-[Elvis] Snow job?
-[Parker] Yes.
547
00:29:23,262 --> 00:29:24,998
It's like the trick
you do with the wiggling,
548
00:29:25,065 --> 00:29:26,565
getting all the girls
hyped up,
549
00:29:26,632 --> 00:29:28,334
empty their wallets
and leave them
550
00:29:28,401 --> 00:29:30,971
with nothing but the smiles
on their faces.
551
00:29:31,038 --> 00:29:32,139
I'm no trickster.
552
00:29:32,204 --> 00:29:34,074
Oh, yes, you are.
553
00:29:34,141 --> 00:29:36,342
All showmen are snowmen.
554
00:29:36,409 --> 00:29:38,244
It's a wonderful place.
555
00:29:38,310 --> 00:29:39,845
Nobody on the aerio.
556
00:29:40,813 --> 00:29:42,181
[speaking Ciazarn]
557
00:29:43,549 --> 00:29:47,520
Your future, Mr. Presley,
blazing before you.
558
00:29:47,586 --> 00:29:51,190
Recording contracts,
television, even Hollywood.
559
00:29:54,393 --> 00:29:55,962
You're great, Colonel.
560
00:29:56,029 --> 00:29:59,365
You are the best person
I could ever hope to work with.
561
00:29:59,432 --> 00:30:01,068
You know, this is something
I ain't never
562
00:30:01,134 --> 00:30:02,835
said to nobody before...
563
00:30:02,903 --> 00:30:05,005
But I believe
I can be great, too.
564
00:30:05,072 --> 00:30:06,605
Oh, no doubt.
565
00:30:06,672 --> 00:30:09,675
But we could be
even greater together.
566
00:30:09,742 --> 00:30:14,847
But to achieve this, I need
to represent you exclusively.
567
00:30:14,915 --> 00:30:17,550
Exclusively?
Sir, I... I don't follow.
568
00:30:18,985 --> 00:30:20,219
What about Hank Snow?
569
00:30:20,286 --> 00:30:22,155
Hank. Yes...
570
00:30:22,254 --> 00:30:24,390
He sent me here to fire you.
571
00:30:26,059 --> 00:30:27,928
[metal creaking]
572
00:30:27,994 --> 00:30:29,562
Hank wants you off the tour.
573
00:30:29,628 --> 00:30:33,399
So I will have to leave Hank.
574
00:30:34,433 --> 00:30:36,235
We will both have to
make sacrifices.
575
00:30:36,302 --> 00:30:39,906
We will need a record label
with national distribution.
576
00:30:41,774 --> 00:30:43,409
RCA?
577
00:30:45,078 --> 00:30:46,980
RCA.
578
00:30:47,047 --> 00:30:49,548
Sam Phillips... discovered me.
579
00:30:49,615 --> 00:30:52,885
I know, but we have a way
to help Sam understand
580
00:30:52,953 --> 00:30:56,223
that it would be foolish of him
to hold you back.
581
00:30:56,288 --> 00:30:58,390
Every man has his price.
582
00:30:58,457 --> 00:31:00,426
[Sam] RCA does have
the distribution.
583
00:31:00,493 --> 00:31:01,527
[Elvis] I just need to know
that you'll
584
00:31:01,594 --> 00:31:02,828
still be with me as friends.
585
00:31:02,895 --> 00:31:04,965
Don't doubt that,
we're not going anywhere.
586
00:31:05,031 --> 00:31:08,701
Marion and I just don't want to
stand in your way, that's all.
587
00:31:08,768 --> 00:31:12,038
The world needs
to hear you sing, Elvis.
588
00:31:12,105 --> 00:31:14,573
[newscaster] Elvis Presley'scontract sold to RCA today
589
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,642
for the highest pricein music history.
590
00:31:16,709 --> 00:31:19,311
Quite the paydayfor Sun Records.
591
00:31:19,378 --> 00:31:22,381
It's just business.
Show business.
592
00:31:22,448 --> 00:31:23,716
To achieve truly great things,
593
00:31:23,783 --> 00:31:26,052
one must make
truly great sacrifices.
594
00:31:26,119 --> 00:31:29,855
You will have to be free
of any entanglements.
595
00:31:29,923 --> 00:31:33,659
You see, my boy,
show business is snow business.
596
00:31:33,726 --> 00:31:37,663
And the fans need to believethat you are always available.
597
00:31:37,730 --> 00:31:39,431
[Elvis] The Colonel says
that with all the publicity
598
00:31:39,498 --> 00:31:40,833
that's gonna be coming,
599
00:31:40,901 --> 00:31:43,170
he might have to
put it out there that...
600
00:31:43,236 --> 00:31:44,537
That...
601
00:31:44,603 --> 00:31:46,872
I don't have a girl.
602
00:31:46,940 --> 00:31:49,976
[sobbing]
603
00:31:50,043 --> 00:31:53,612
[Parker] Then we will need
your parents' legal commitment.
604
00:31:53,679 --> 00:31:57,117
They may need a bit
of convincing themselves.
605
00:31:57,184 --> 00:31:59,119
[Gladys] Sam Phillips
is a good man we can trust.
606
00:31:59,186 --> 00:32:02,621
We don't know this Colonel
from a nail in a wall.
607
00:32:02,688 --> 00:32:04,557
[man] Is there a lawyer
representing the family?
608
00:32:04,623 --> 00:32:05,959
[Parker] Oh, unnecessary.
609
00:32:06,026 --> 00:32:07,560
I am of the firm opinion
610
00:32:07,626 --> 00:32:10,896
that family is the most
important thing in the world.
611
00:32:10,964 --> 00:32:13,699
In mind of that,
I have taken the liberty
612
00:32:13,766 --> 00:32:15,568
of making these contracts out
613
00:32:15,634 --> 00:32:18,939
in the name
of Elvis Presley Enterprises.
614
00:32:19,005 --> 00:32:20,040
A family business.
615
00:32:20,106 --> 00:32:23,076
And I was thinking,
Vernon Presley:
616
00:32:23,143 --> 00:32:24,710
Business Manager.
617
00:32:27,813 --> 00:32:29,983
[Elvis] What do you think,
Daddy?
618
00:32:30,050 --> 00:32:32,085
[Vernon] Uh... Well, uh...
619
00:32:32,152 --> 00:32:34,187
-I like it very much, son.
-[Parker] Ah!
620
00:32:34,254 --> 00:32:35,922
[laughing]
621
00:32:35,989 --> 00:32:39,425
Mrs. Presley,
your son has a unique gift.
622
00:32:39,491 --> 00:32:41,094
It's as though
he has the strength
623
00:32:41,161 --> 00:32:43,462
of two men inside of him.
624
00:32:43,529 --> 00:32:45,065
[pen clicks]
625
00:32:45,131 --> 00:32:46,765
[Elvis] You know, Colonel,I would do anything
626
00:32:46,832 --> 00:32:48,534
to make sure my mama and daddynever have to live
627
00:32:48,601 --> 00:32:50,502
in no poverty ever again.
628
00:32:50,569 --> 00:32:54,174
Mama, it's gonna turn out
so, so good.
629
00:32:54,241 --> 00:32:55,608
Mm.
630
00:32:57,143 --> 00:32:58,611
[camera clicks]
631
00:32:58,677 --> 00:33:00,013
Colonel, I wasn't fooling
when I told those other kids
632
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,680
I was gonna buy 'em
a Cadillac one day.
633
00:33:01,747 --> 00:33:04,317
My boy, with me, you will
buy them two Cadillacs.
634
00:33:04,383 --> 00:33:05,818
Two?
635
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,188
A hundred?
636
00:33:08,255 --> 00:33:09,421
-Two hundred.
-[chuckles]
637
00:33:09,488 --> 00:33:11,358
-A thousand.
-A million.
638
00:33:11,423 --> 00:33:12,658
An aeroplane.
639
00:33:12,725 --> 00:33:14,493
-How about a rocket ship?
-[both laugh]
640
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:19,032
Well, maybe not a rocket ship.
My mama don't like me to fly.
641
00:33:19,099 --> 00:33:23,203
But me, I've always
wanted to fly. Fast.
642
00:33:23,270 --> 00:33:27,207
Faster than the speed of light
to the Rock of Eternity.
643
00:33:27,274 --> 00:33:29,408
What? To the Rock of Eternity?
644
00:33:29,475 --> 00:33:31,077
Captain Marvel, Jr.
645
00:33:32,212 --> 00:33:33,947
He's my favorite
comic book hero.
646
00:33:35,048 --> 00:33:36,682
He flies.
647
00:33:36,749 --> 00:33:38,817
Well, what about you,
Mr. Presley?
648
00:33:39,585 --> 00:33:41,787
Are you ready to fly?
649
00:33:42,554 --> 00:33:45,025
Yes, sir. I'm ready.
650
00:33:45,926 --> 00:33:47,193
Ready to fly.
651
00:33:55,168 --> 00:33:56,869
[producer 1 over intercom]
Uh, Mr. Presley,
652
00:33:56,937 --> 00:33:58,939
try not to move aroundso much during the takes.
653
00:33:59,005 --> 00:34:01,440
[Elvis] If I can't move,
I can't sing.
654
00:34:01,507 --> 00:34:04,377
[singing]
Well, since my baby left me
655
00:34:04,443 --> 00:34:05,912
[band plays two chords]
656
00:34:05,979 --> 00:34:09,182
Well, I found a new placeTo dwell
657
00:34:09,249 --> 00:34:10,984
[producer 2] What is he doing?We paid for this?
658
00:34:11,051 --> 00:34:12,885
It's down at the end ofLonely Street at...
659
00:34:12,953 --> 00:34:14,753
[producer 2]
It's a suicide song.
660
00:34:14,820 --> 00:34:17,357
...Heartbreak Hotel
661
00:34:17,424 --> 00:34:20,427
[Parker] Them know-it-allssaid I'd backedthe wrong horse.
662
00:34:20,492 --> 00:34:22,695
But my boy knew teenagers.
663
00:34:22,761 --> 00:34:26,967
And that first recordchanged everything.
664
00:34:27,033 --> 00:34:31,770
Well, it's so very hard to haveTo leave the one you love
665
00:34:31,837 --> 00:34:35,208
And you get more lonelyWith each passing day
666
00:34:36,809 --> 00:34:41,414
It's so lonely just sittingAnd dreaming of...
667
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:42,848
[newscaster 1]
In a few short months,
668
00:34:42,916 --> 00:34:44,717
Elvis Presley has poppedout of nowhere.
669
00:34:44,783 --> 00:34:46,920
Everywhere he goes,he causes riots,
670
00:34:46,987 --> 00:34:49,555
mountains of pressand rivers of money.
671
00:34:49,621 --> 00:34:52,125
[newscaster 2] It's anothergold record for Elvis Presley.
672
00:34:52,192 --> 00:34:55,161
This one giving him his firstworldwide hit.
673
00:34:56,562 --> 00:34:58,697
[crowd screaming]
674
00:34:59,498 --> 00:35:02,402
[maid] Mrs. Presley, look!
675
00:35:02,469 --> 00:35:05,871
Come on, Mrs. Presley,
let me show you
how to use this.
676
00:35:05,939 --> 00:35:08,308
Come on, hens! Come on, hens!
Come on!
677
00:35:08,375 --> 00:35:11,877
Come on! Outside!
Out of my house!
678
00:35:11,945 --> 00:35:14,747
Come on, this way!
Come on, babies!
679
00:35:15,448 --> 00:35:16,916
Dodger!
680
00:35:16,983 --> 00:35:18,084
[grunts]
681
00:35:19,019 --> 00:35:21,021
[Elvis grunting]
682
00:35:21,087 --> 00:35:23,089
-[Elvis] Go, Billy boy!
-Ya-hoo-hoo!
683
00:35:23,156 --> 00:35:24,991
[Parker] I tookmy boy's wiggling
684
00:35:25,058 --> 00:35:27,760
and put it in the movies.
685
00:35:27,826 --> 00:35:29,762
I took his name and face,
686
00:35:29,828 --> 00:35:31,630
and put it on all sorts of toys
687
00:35:31,697 --> 00:35:33,967
and knick-knacks,and called it...
688
00:35:34,034 --> 00:35:35,101
"Merchandise."
689
00:35:35,168 --> 00:35:37,703
Your face on every
conceivable object,
690
00:35:37,770 --> 00:35:41,341
including teddy bear, perfume,
plaster busts...
691
00:35:41,408 --> 00:35:42,608
Of questionable likeness.
692
00:35:42,674 --> 00:35:44,144
"The Elvis Presley Game."
693
00:35:44,210 --> 00:35:47,347
Something so everyone
can show their love.
694
00:35:47,414 --> 00:35:52,118
Grandma Dodger,
what is that behind your ear?
695
00:35:53,219 --> 00:35:55,255
[Gladys] "I hate Elvis."
696
00:35:57,257 --> 00:35:58,557
Huh?
697
00:35:58,624 --> 00:36:00,093
Yes. I hate Elvis.
698
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,827
In my way of thinking,
"I love Elvis,"
699
00:36:01,894 --> 00:36:03,096
that's an easy sell.
700
00:36:03,163 --> 00:36:04,964
Those who hate your son
will do so
701
00:36:05,031 --> 00:36:07,733
whether we profit
from it or not.
702
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,738
After all, what is hate worth
if it's free?
703
00:36:13,806 --> 00:36:15,707
Oh, yeah. I get it.
704
00:36:19,312 --> 00:36:20,746
Snowman strikes again.
705
00:36:20,813 --> 00:36:22,815
[all laughing]
706
00:36:22,881 --> 00:36:25,818
[Parker] Merchandise,
promotion.
Diskin, what else do we have?
707
00:36:25,884 --> 00:36:27,320
-[Diskin] Necklaces.
-[Parker] Necklaces.
708
00:36:27,387 --> 00:36:30,589
-[Diskin] Scarves.
-[Parker] Oh, scarves. Yes...
709
00:36:30,656 --> 00:36:33,326
[Lansky] Mr. Presleyand Mr. King...
710
00:36:33,393 --> 00:36:34,593
regular peas in a pod,
711
00:36:34,660 --> 00:36:36,496
relieving me
of my finest threads.
712
00:36:36,563 --> 00:36:37,663
Must be some occasion.
713
00:36:37,729 --> 00:36:38,965
Mr. Lansky, it's Milton Berle.
714
00:36:39,032 --> 00:36:40,899
The whole of America'll
be watching.
715
00:36:40,967 --> 00:36:43,169
I don't watch television.
716
00:36:43,236 --> 00:36:44,237
So what's it gonna be?
717
00:36:44,304 --> 00:36:46,139
How you gonna
blow their wigs off?
718
00:36:46,206 --> 00:36:49,542
Well, the network
wants me to do a ballad.
719
00:36:49,608 --> 00:36:51,945
But I'm thinking about
cuttin' it up with "Hound Dog."
720
00:36:52,011 --> 00:36:53,146
Whoo!
721
00:36:53,213 --> 00:36:59,152
Elvis Presley, "Hound Dog,"
and Uncle Miltie.
722
00:36:59,219 --> 00:37:01,187
Strange things
are happening every day.
723
00:37:01,254 --> 00:37:04,290
You ain't nothin'But a hound dog, hound dog
724
00:37:04,357 --> 00:37:06,292
Cryin' all the time
725
00:37:06,359 --> 00:37:08,894
You ain't nothin'but a hound dog
726
00:37:08,962 --> 00:37:11,331
Cryin' all the time
727
00:37:11,397 --> 00:37:13,166
Well, you ain't neverCaught a rabbit
728
00:37:13,233 --> 00:37:15,902
And you ain'tno friend of mine
729
00:37:15,969 --> 00:37:18,670
When they saidYou was high classed
730
00:37:18,737 --> 00:37:20,974
Well, that was just a lie
731
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,809
Yeah, they saidYou were high classed
732
00:37:23,876 --> 00:37:26,146
Behold, tomorrow,
all of America
733
00:37:26,212 --> 00:37:28,581
will be talking
about Elvis Presley.
734
00:37:28,647 --> 00:37:29,681
My wiggling boy.
735
00:37:29,748 --> 00:37:31,951
[Gladys and Vernon laughing]
736
00:37:32,018 --> 00:37:34,420
Even as a little one,
he made me laugh so.
737
00:37:34,487 --> 00:37:36,156
He's so funny!
738
00:37:36,222 --> 00:37:38,657
You never caught a rabbitYou ain't no friend of mine
739
00:37:40,493 --> 00:37:42,228
[laughter]
740
00:37:42,295 --> 00:37:45,098
You ain't nothin'But a hound dog,a hound dog
741
00:37:46,566 --> 00:37:47,866
Cryin' all the time
742
00:37:47,934 --> 00:37:49,435
[aide] And, Senator,
for the next leg
743
00:37:49,502 --> 00:37:50,904
of your racial integrity tour,
744
00:37:50,970 --> 00:37:54,007
we booked the Overton
Park Shell in Memphis.
745
00:37:54,073 --> 00:37:55,909
What are they laughing about?
746
00:37:55,975 --> 00:37:58,744
[laughter continues]
747
00:37:58,810 --> 00:38:02,215
[Elvis] You ain't nothin'But a hound dog
748
00:38:03,483 --> 00:38:05,884
Cryin' all the time
749
00:38:05,952 --> 00:38:08,054
Who the hell is that?
750
00:38:08,121 --> 00:38:10,490
It's that boy from Memphis.
751
00:38:10,557 --> 00:38:12,724
[dreamily] Elvis Presley.
752
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:14,928
Cryin' all the time
753
00:38:14,994 --> 00:38:19,332
A white boy from Memphis,
moving like a goddamn--
754
00:38:19,399 --> 00:38:25,704
[Elvis singing]
Is your heartfilled with pain
755
00:38:26,872 --> 00:38:29,375
Shall I come back...
756
00:38:29,442 --> 00:38:34,347
The obscenity and vulgarityof this rock and roll music
757
00:38:34,414 --> 00:38:38,251
is obviously a means by whichthe white man and his children
758
00:38:38,318 --> 00:38:40,453
can be driven to the levelof the Negro.
759
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,488
[Elvis] The colored folks havebeen singing and playing it
760
00:38:42,555 --> 00:38:45,091
just likeI'm doing it now, man,more years than I know.
761
00:38:45,158 --> 00:38:46,693
Colonel Parker,
we called you in here
762
00:38:46,758 --> 00:38:48,328
to talk about this act
of yours.
763
00:38:48,394 --> 00:38:50,029
[TV reporter] A petitionhas begun circulating
764
00:38:50,096 --> 00:38:52,699
to bar Elvis Presleyfrom television.
765
00:38:52,764 --> 00:38:54,267
[Eastland]
We've set up a committee
766
00:38:54,334 --> 00:38:57,003
to keep an eye on this vulgar,animalistic rock and roll bum.
767
00:38:57,070 --> 00:38:58,870
[TV host] Your styleof gyrating while you sing
768
00:38:58,938 --> 00:39:00,206
has been bitterly criticized...
769
00:39:00,273 --> 00:39:02,075
I don't feel I'm doing
anything wrong.
770
00:39:02,141 --> 00:39:04,143
[woman] We simply will notadvertise on any station
771
00:39:04,210 --> 00:39:05,744
that puts this delinquenton television.
772
00:39:05,811 --> 00:39:08,814
Colonel, you put an end
to your boy's animal behavior,
773
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,617
or we will.
774
00:39:10,683 --> 00:39:13,353
[Parker] Don't worry, Senator,my boy does what he's told.
775
00:39:13,419 --> 00:39:16,122
[Elvis singing]
Tell me, dear
776
00:39:16,189 --> 00:39:21,995
Are you lonesome tonight?
777
00:39:25,932 --> 00:39:27,734
"Elvis the Pelvis."
778
00:39:27,799 --> 00:39:31,004
That's one of the most childish
expressions I've ever heard
779
00:39:31,070 --> 00:39:33,106
coming from an adult.
780
00:39:33,172 --> 00:39:35,341
Is Mr. Allen gonna cancel me
from the show?
781
00:39:36,109 --> 00:39:37,343
Yes.
782
00:39:37,410 --> 00:39:39,312
Yes, he is.
783
00:39:39,379 --> 00:39:43,782
He is replacing you with one of
the country's greatest singers.
784
00:39:44,917 --> 00:39:46,486
Mario Lanza?
785
00:39:46,552 --> 00:39:47,786
Someone greater.
786
00:39:47,853 --> 00:39:50,889
The new Elvis Presley!
787
00:39:52,659 --> 00:39:54,627
Yeah, I snowed 'em!
788
00:39:54,694 --> 00:39:57,563
You just have to put on
one of these tails here,
789
00:39:57,630 --> 00:39:59,065
can sing the "Hound Dog,"
790
00:39:59,132 --> 00:40:02,268
and it's a light-hearted,
sophisticated family show.
791
00:40:02,335 --> 00:40:03,770
I can't move in one of these.
792
00:40:03,835 --> 00:40:04,836
And that is the point.
793
00:40:04,904 --> 00:40:06,973
Mr. Allen agreed only as long
794
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,342
as there is no wiggling
of those hips.
795
00:40:09,409 --> 00:40:12,078
I can't figure it out. My own
mother approves of what I do.
796
00:40:12,145 --> 00:40:13,680
Mmm.
797
00:40:13,746 --> 00:40:16,549
You have read the papers,
my boy?
798
00:40:16,616 --> 00:40:18,184
Yeah, I read the papers.
799
00:40:18,251 --> 00:40:20,553
The papers say that I shot
my mother and smoke marijuana.
800
00:40:20,620 --> 00:40:23,623
Your movement's
in the style of a Black man,
801
00:40:23,690 --> 00:40:26,192
and you have broken
the segregation laws.
802
00:40:26,259 --> 00:40:28,294
So let's follow the plan.
It's a good plan.
803
00:40:28,361 --> 00:40:30,430
You do the Allen Show,
family style,
804
00:40:30,496 --> 00:40:32,898
and then tomorrow
we go back to Memphis and
805
00:40:32,965 --> 00:40:36,736
we snow them on the July 4th
Children's Charitable Concert.
806
00:40:36,803 --> 00:40:40,139
And we put this whole
unfortunate misstep behind us.
807
00:40:40,206 --> 00:40:42,742
Now, do you want
to go into politics?
808
00:40:42,809 --> 00:40:45,912
Or shall we stay
in show business?
809
00:40:48,281 --> 00:40:49,682
[Steve Allen] We want to doa show the whole family
810
00:40:49,749 --> 00:40:51,718
can watch and enjoy,and we always do.
811
00:40:51,784 --> 00:40:53,419
And at this time, it gives meextreme pleasure to introduce
812
00:40:53,486 --> 00:40:55,288
the new Elvis Presley!
813
00:40:55,355 --> 00:40:56,923
[dog barks]
814
00:40:56,989 --> 00:40:59,225
[faint crowd laughter]
815
00:40:59,292 --> 00:41:00,827
[female fan 1]
He used to be so hip.
816
00:41:00,892 --> 00:41:02,528
[male fan 1]
He looked so silly.
817
00:41:02,595 --> 00:41:04,530
[male fan 2]
I mean,he looked like a butler.
818
00:41:04,597 --> 00:41:06,032
[female fan 2] I can't believehe agreed to sing to a dog.
819
00:41:06,099 --> 00:41:07,433
-[door bangs]
-[Elvis] God damn it!
820
00:41:08,501 --> 00:41:09,502
[grunts angrily]
821
00:41:09,569 --> 00:41:11,104
He could've given us
some warning.
822
00:41:11,170 --> 00:41:12,805
I know how to do a skit,
I could've made it funny!
823
00:41:12,871 --> 00:41:16,509
The most stupid, embarrassing,
humiliating thing I ever did.
824
00:41:16,576 --> 00:41:18,411
Well, what the hell
do you want me to do about it?
825
00:41:18,478 --> 00:41:19,545
We're musicians!
826
00:41:19,612 --> 00:41:21,114
[female fan 3]
It's just embarrassing.
827
00:41:21,180 --> 00:41:22,348
[male fan 3]
Who does he think he is?
828
00:41:22,415 --> 00:41:24,450
[voices overlapping,
echoing faintly]
829
00:41:24,517 --> 00:41:27,353
-[horn toots]
-[fans screaming]
830
00:41:30,123 --> 00:41:33,526
[imperceptible]
831
00:41:40,633 --> 00:41:43,603
[Gladys] She just went onand on about the damn dog.
832
00:41:43,669 --> 00:41:46,038
And I said, "Neighbors
shouldn't speak like that."
833
00:41:46,105 --> 00:41:47,707
And then she said...
834
00:41:47,774 --> 00:41:49,442
I like the bit with the dog.
835
00:41:49,509 --> 00:41:51,878
It was the most embarrassing
performance of my life, Daddy.
836
00:41:51,944 --> 00:41:54,046
She wasn't the only one
who said it.
837
00:41:54,113 --> 00:41:55,882
-All the neighbors did.
-Oh, God.
838
00:41:55,948 --> 00:41:57,383
Those New York people
were using you
839
00:41:57,450 --> 00:41:59,152
to poke fun at the whole South.
840
00:41:59,218 --> 00:42:02,955
Getting a laugh out of putting
a hillbilly in a tailcoat
841
00:42:03,022 --> 00:42:05,358
-and singing to a dog.
-[faint shouting]
842
00:42:05,425 --> 00:42:08,161
God damn it, Mama, it was
either that or I get canceled.
843
00:42:08,227 --> 00:42:09,996
Then that's it for television.
844
00:42:10,062 --> 00:42:12,999
Colonel says I'm running out
of states that I'm welcome in.
845
00:42:13,065 --> 00:42:15,535
And they don't pay
unless I can perform.
846
00:42:15,601 --> 00:42:18,471
So Colonel says I play the
charity concert tomorrow night,
847
00:42:18,538 --> 00:42:20,673
as the new family style,
848
00:42:20,740 --> 00:42:23,576
then everybody calms down
and we get back on track.
849
00:42:23,643 --> 00:42:26,579
Someone's got to think about
keeping a roof over our heads.
850
00:42:26,646 --> 00:42:28,247
Roof over our head?
851
00:42:28,314 --> 00:42:30,883
We've always managed to keep
a roof over our head, Vernon.
852
00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:32,952
Mama, Daddy is
business manager.
It's his job.
853
00:42:33,019 --> 00:42:34,487
[Vernon] That's right.
854
00:42:34,554 --> 00:42:36,924
We was doing just fine
before that man came along.
855
00:42:37,023 --> 00:42:38,324
Colonel has got us all of this.
856
00:42:38,391 --> 00:42:40,993
I don't want all this!
You're unhappy!
857
00:42:41,060 --> 00:42:43,062
-I am not!
-[grunts loudly]
858
00:42:44,063 --> 00:42:45,998
You're losing yourself, Booby!
859
00:42:46,065 --> 00:42:47,834
Oh, hell, Mama, I--
860
00:42:47,901 --> 00:42:49,435
Satnin knows.
861
00:42:49,502 --> 00:42:50,536
[sighs]
862
00:42:50,603 --> 00:42:52,138
[heavy sigh]
863
00:42:57,143 --> 00:42:59,947
[Gladys] The way you sing
and move...
864
00:43:00,012 --> 00:43:01,714
it's God-given.
865
00:43:03,015 --> 00:43:05,251
So there can't be nothing
wrong with it.
866
00:43:05,318 --> 00:43:07,887
[all chattering excitedly]
867
00:43:07,955 --> 00:43:09,923
Hey, I'm gonna ask cousin
about the movie.
868
00:43:10,022 --> 00:43:11,324
Hey, E.P., E.P.!
869
00:43:11,390 --> 00:43:12,892
Can we close down
the movie house
870
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,193
and watch Godzilla tonight?
871
00:43:14,260 --> 00:43:16,562
Don't tramp mud
in the house, Billy!
872
00:43:16,629 --> 00:43:18,064
[Billy] But you said
we could watch the movie!
873
00:43:18,130 --> 00:43:19,732
Get out! Get out of my

00:53:41,521 --> 00:53:43,089
He can use those forces...
1063
00:53:43,156 --> 00:53:46,625
to prevent the racial
integration of schools,
1064
00:53:46,692 --> 00:53:50,896
if this is necessary, under the
police powers of that state...

[Eastland]
...in fact, it is his duty...
1067
00:53:55,235 --> 00:53:57,504
Of course you gotta listen

Just look right in my face
1087
00:54:43,349 --> 00:54:45,051
I was born standing up
1088
00:54:46,553 --> 00:54:48,488
And talking back
1089
00:54:48,555 --> 00:54:54,726

But I never ran
1097
00:55:28,394 --> 00:55:29,963
I don't take no orders

00:58:02,715 --> 00:58:04,517
You're gonna get us in trouble.
1145
00:58:05,651 --> 00:58:07,153
He's all right, come on.

[Parker] My dear boyhad chosen.
1152

You, his audience, his fans.
1153
00:58:31,978 --> 00:58:36,582
He had no ideawhat he had doneto both of us.
1154
00:58:36,649 --> 00:58:38,317
[Eastland]
We warned you, Colonel.
1155
00:58:38,384 --> 00:58:40,119
You've lost controlof this act of yours.
1156
00:58:40,186 --> 00:58:41,854
And he's dividing this nation.
1157
00:58:41,921 --> 00:58:46,426
There are a lot of peoplewho want to see him in jail.
1158
00:58:46,492 --> 00:58:48,961
[Parker] I had to finda way out.
1159
00:58:49,862 --> 00:58:51,964
A way to save him.
1160
00:58:55,301 --> 00:59:00,039
[Elvis singing] Crawfish
1161
00:59:01,607 --> 00:59:05,044
Crawfish
1162
00:59:07,513 --> 00:59:12,285
No. There's no way my baby's
going to Germany for two years.
1163
00:59:12,351 --> 00:59:16,422
It is either the army or jail.
1164
00:59:17,323 --> 00:59:19,325
There is something else.
1165
00:59:19,392 --> 00:59:23,162
Vernon, they are poking
into your background.
1166
00:59:23,229 --> 00:59:24,964
We don't have nothin'
to be ashamed of!
1167
00:59:25,031 --> 00:59:26,566
Now, my daddy is a good man.
1168
00:59:26,632 --> 00:59:29,769
[Parker] Yes, yes.
But your papa did go to jail.
1169
00:59:29,836 --> 00:59:32,839
You know them,
and their flashy headlines.
1170
00:59:32,906 --> 00:59:37,109
"Elvis, The Draft Dodger."
"A Family of Delinquents."
1171
00:59:37,176 --> 00:59:40,079
There was no moon
1172
00:59:40,146 --> 00:59:44,150
[Parker] We may never
book another date,
or sell another record again.
1173
00:59:44,217 --> 00:59:45,751
And my way of thinking,
1174
00:59:45,818 --> 00:59:48,321
the army could be
a brand new start
for all of us.
1175
00:59:48,387 --> 00:59:50,056
Let them cut your hair.
1176
00:59:50,122 --> 00:59:53,459
Prove to the world that you are
a clean-cut, all-American boy.
1177
00:59:53,526 --> 00:59:56,529
You do your two years, and whenyou come back, I promise you
1178
00:59:56,596 --> 00:59:58,231
I will have doneeverything I can
1179

to make you the biggestactor in Hollywood.

You will choose
your own pictures.

-It's gonna be okay, Mama.
-[sobbing]
1182
01:00:06,372 --> 01:00:10,710
And I pulled Mr. Crawfishout of his hole

Young Mr. Presley,a rock and roller no more.

He'll do six months'basic training at Fort Chaffee

[Elvis continues singing

1187
01:00:19,852 --> 01:00:21,587
[Parker] Since the dayhe was born,
1188

While he wasin basic training...
1190
01:00:31,163 --> 01:00:33,633
she worried and drank...
1191
01:00:35,034 --> 01:00:36,602
Worried...
1192
01:00:37,570 --> 01:00:39,138
and drank.

[Elvis crying] Oh, no...
1199
01:01:16,043 --> 01:01:17,643
No!
1200
01:01:21,113 --> 01:01:25,851
There are some fine folks
from the press waiting outside.
1201
01:01:25,919 --> 01:01:31,024
A few questions, pictures,
and they will leave us alone.
1202
01:01:31,090 --> 01:01:34,193
I can't get him to do anything.
1203
01:01:35,394 --> 01:01:38,230
He trusted her
like nobody else,
1204
01:01:38,297 --> 01:01:42,168
and now she's gone
and who does he have now?
1205
01:01:44,004 --> 01:01:45,104
[Vernon] Well...
1206
01:01:46,372 --> 01:01:48,240
He trusts you.
[shaky exhale]
1207
01:01:48,307 --> 01:01:50,509
Can you talk to him?
1208
01:01:51,611 --> 01:01:53,479
Oh, no.
1209
01:01:54,413 --> 01:01:56,349
It's not my place...
1210
01:01:56,415 --> 01:01:58,217
Can you do it, Colonel?
1211
01:01:58,284 --> 01:02:00,353
We need your help now.
1212
01:02:03,823 --> 01:02:05,825
[Elvis sobbing quietly]

but he is overwhelmed.
1215
01:02:16,435 --> 01:02:18,604
He needs your help out there.
1216
01:02:18,671 --> 01:02:22,475
[crying] I can't go out there.
I just wanna stay here forever.

-Oh, my boy.

But you listen to me.
1220
01:02:30,083 --> 01:02:33,552
From this moment on,
anything she would have done...

When you are overseas,
I will stay here at home.
1223
01:02:42,728 --> 01:02:46,399
And I will work,
and I will worry.

Trust me.
1225

Now, you go and you stand
by your papa.
1226
01:02:56,375 --> 01:02:57,777
You comfort him.
1227
01:02:58,678 --> 01:03:00,446
You comfort him.
1228
01:03:00,513 --> 01:03:02,815
Comfort your friends
and your family,
1229
01:03:02,882 --> 01:03:04,951
and even your fans. Hmm?
1230
01:03:05,018 --> 01:03:08,320
Because if you don't do that...
1231
01:03:08,387 --> 01:03:11,290
all that your mama
has sacrificed for you
1232
01:03:11,357 --> 01:03:13,359
will be for nothing.

1253
01:04:53,325 --> 01:04:55,294
And then he said to me...
1254
01:04:55,361 --> 01:04:56,762
[sucks, exhales]
1255
01:04:56,829 --> 01:04:58,430

You gotta listen to me,

because this guy, he's got

He's got girls waiting
outside of his house

1260
01:05:06,338 --> 01:05:08,741

And then Mommy decides
to pitch in and go,
1261
01:05:08,808 --> 01:05:10,977
"Ooh, what could he possibly
see in you, okay?

we talk and we listen
to music, okay? That's all."
1266
01:05:22,354 --> 01:05:24,857
And then they were going on
and on about that photo of you
1267
01:05:24,925 --> 01:05:27,526
and Natalie Wood riding around
on that bike in Memphis,

and then what I said...

I said, "Listen, okay?

He's just really lonely.
And quite frankly, so am I."
1271
01:05:39,772 --> 01:05:42,408
And then
they didn't really know
what to say after that,
1272
01:05:42,474 --> 01:05:45,979
so I went upstairs
and I went to bed.
1273
01:05:46,046 --> 01:05:48,447
Never met anyone like you.
1274
01:05:48,514 --> 01:05:49,849

She's nice, you know.

She's been writing me
about acting.

that when I get back
1283
01:06:14,874 --> 01:06:17,576
he's gonna set me up
in Hollywood
to be a serious actor.
1284

Santa Claus" on tape]
1394
01:12:09,195 --> 01:12:10,597
[man] Whata beautiful rendition
1395
01:12:10,663 --> 01:12:13,099
of "Here Comes Santa Claus"that was,
1396
01:12:13,166 --> 01:12:16,436
with all the sparkle and magicthat the season brings.
1397
01:12:16,502 --> 01:12:18,471
And you'll be even warmerthis season

[Mahalia Jackson

1404
01:12:32,252 --> 01:12:34,454
Can I watch the memorial
with you?
1405
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:35,989
Yeah, baby.
1406
01:12:43,129 --> 01:12:46,432
I'm so tired of playing
Elvis Presley.
1407
01:12:46,499 --> 01:12:48,834
Too many people rely on me.
1408
01:12:48,901 --> 01:12:51,004
[Priscilla sighs]
1409
01:12:52,305 --> 01:12:53,839
I love you.
1410
01:12:53,906 --> 01:12:55,942
And your daughter loves you.
1411
01:12:58,278 --> 01:13:00,580
We don't care about the money
or anything else.
1412
01:13:00,647 --> 01:13:02,248
We just want you to be happy.
1413
01:13:02,315 --> 01:13:04,117
[Jackson singing]
Lord, hold my hand
1414
01:13:04,183 --> 01:13:05,784
And don't let me fall
1415
01:13:05,851 --> 01:13:09,656
You're only really happy when
you sing the music you love.
1416
01:13:09,722 --> 01:13:13,693
[Jackson] Oh
1417
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,996
Take my hand
1418
01:13:17,063 --> 01:13:19,932
[Elvis] Mahalia Jackson.
1419
01:13:19,999 --> 01:13:22,568
I used to hear her sing
at East Street Church.
1420
01:13:22,635 --> 01:13:26,072
[Jackson singing]
Got a feelin' in my body
1421
01:13:26,139 --> 01:13:28,174
That's the music
that makes me happy.
1422
01:13:28,241 --> 01:13:33,646
This will be our lucky day
1423
01:13:33,713 --> 01:13:38,351
So when things are too
dangerous to say... sing!

["I Got A Feeling In My Body"

1425
01:13:43,690 --> 01:13:48,795
When Moses walked the childrenout of Egypt land
1426
01:13:48,860 --> 01:13:53,566
He said "Now don't you worrywe're in the lord's hands"

I got a feelin' in my body

This will be our lucky day
1429

We'll be releasedfrom all our sorrow

[Jerry] You gotta meet theseBinder and Bones guys, E.P.
1432
01:14:22,462 --> 01:14:23,830
They're the onesthat put James Brown,
1433
01:14:23,895 --> 01:14:26,332
the Rolling Stones onstage.
1434
01:14:26,399 --> 01:14:28,167
They're doing somecutting edge stuff.
1435
01:14:28,234 --> 01:14:32,572
Mr. Binder, Mr. Howe...
thanks for coming.
1436
01:14:33,973 --> 01:14:36,175
[helicopter whirring
in distance]
1437
01:14:48,621 --> 01:14:51,023
[Elvis] When I first came
to Hollywood, I'd come up here
1438
01:14:51,090 --> 01:14:53,326
and sit for hours.
1439
01:14:53,393 --> 01:14:55,161
Right over there,
the observatory...
1440
01:14:55,228 --> 01:14:57,830
that's where they shot
Rebel Without a Cause.
1441
01:14:57,896 --> 01:15:03,102
Man, I used to dream of being
a great actor like Jimmy Dean.
1442
01:15:03,169 --> 01:15:05,438
This sign was beautiful then.
1443
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:09,375
And now...
1444
01:15:09,442 --> 01:15:12,578
Feels as though lots of things
are like that these days.
1445
01:15:12,645 --> 01:15:15,615
Broke down, beat up.
1446
01:15:16,482 --> 01:15:17,483
Rotten.
1447
01:15:19,419 --> 01:15:21,387
I really like
what you guys did,
1448
01:15:21,454 --> 01:15:24,056
putting James Brown
and the Stones together.
1449
01:15:24,123 --> 01:15:27,493
We're, uh...
big fans of yours, too.
1450
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,329
It's just that, Mr. Presley,
we don't usually--
1451
01:15:30,396 --> 01:15:31,664
Oh, Elvis.
1452
01:15:31,731 --> 01:15:33,266
Elvis, uh...
1453
01:15:34,567 --> 01:15:37,537
Christmas specials
aren't really our thing.
1454
01:15:37,603 --> 01:15:38,971
I know.
1455
01:15:40,673 --> 01:15:42,742
Tell me, honestly...
1456
01:15:42,809 --> 01:15:45,511
where do you boys
think my career's at right now?
1457
01:15:47,447 --> 01:15:49,048
Well, it's...
1458
01:15:49,115 --> 01:15:52,084
It's in the toilet, Elvis.
1459
01:15:53,921 --> 01:15:56,522
[both laughing]
1460
01:15:57,590 --> 01:15:59,859
You hear that, Jerry?
1461
01:15:59,927 --> 01:16:03,329
Oh, Lord. I knew you were
the right guys for this job.
1462
01:16:03,396 --> 01:16:05,898
You know,
back when I was starting out,
1463
01:16:05,965 --> 01:16:08,334
some people wanted
to put me in jail,
1464
01:16:08,401 --> 01:16:11,737
even kill me,
'cause of the way I was moving.
1465
01:16:13,907 --> 01:16:15,408
So they cut my hair,
1466
01:16:15,475 --> 01:16:18,578
they put me in uniform
and they sent me away.
1467
01:16:21,347 --> 01:16:23,282
That killed my mother.
1468
01:16:26,219 --> 01:16:28,254
And ever since then...
1469
01:16:29,889 --> 01:16:31,290
I've been lost.
1470
01:16:33,426 --> 01:16:36,429
And when you're lost,
people take advantage.
1471
01:16:39,398 --> 01:16:42,768
I need you fellas to help me
get back to who I really am.
1472
01:16:43,971 --> 01:16:45,371
And who are you, Elvis?
1473
01:16:47,740 --> 01:16:50,009
I sure as hell ain't somebody
who sings Christmas songs
1474
01:16:50,076 --> 01:16:52,946
by a fireplace for an hour.
1475
01:16:53,012 --> 01:16:55,448
[Steve] And what
does the Colonel think?
1476
01:16:55,515 --> 01:16:58,117
I don't give a damn
what the Colonel thinks.

we've got this Bindle fella,
number one hotshot director.
1480
01:17:17,570 --> 01:17:20,640
Elvis will be humoring him by
doing a few of his fresh ideas.
1481
01:17:20,706 --> 01:17:22,208
Ah, the sweater!
1482
01:17:22,275 --> 01:17:24,777
To Mr. Presley's
dressing room, please.
1483
01:17:24,844 --> 01:17:28,381
We are going to sing three
spectacular Christmas songs

-in that very sweater.
-[applause]
1485
01:17:32,451 --> 01:17:35,521

what do you do?

-Applause.

and, uh...
"Whose Child Is This?"
1489
01:17:46,832 --> 01:17:49,002
[Elvis] You thinkwe can do some gospel?
1490
01:17:49,068 --> 01:17:50,536
Well, if you want
to find yourself,
1491
01:17:50,603 --> 01:17:52,338
first thing you do is go home.
1492
01:17:52,405 --> 01:17:55,976
Metaphorically, you know.
Get back to who you really are.
1493
01:17:56,043 --> 01:17:57,843
And what is the boy that--
1494
01:17:57,911 --> 01:17:59,779
-Oh, "The Little Drummer Boy"?
-Yes, "The Little
Drumming Boy."

1497
01:18:03,449 --> 01:18:07,286
But we are going to start with
"Here Comes Santa Claus,"
1498
01:18:07,353 --> 01:18:09,022
isn't that right, Mr. Bindle?
1499
01:18:09,088 --> 01:18:10,856
Uh, the Christmas specials
come later in the show.
1500
01:18:10,924 --> 01:18:12,258
Can you bring up two?
1501
01:18:12,325 --> 01:18:14,093
[Steve] A leather jacket.Raw, dirty.
1502
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:17,430
Remember, ladies and gentlemen,
this is television, not radio,
1503
01:18:17,496 --> 01:18:19,131
so when that goes up
and you clap,
1504
01:18:19,198 --> 01:18:20,333
let's see it
on your faces as well.
1505

[enthusiastic applause]
1506
01:18:21,767 --> 01:18:23,169
[Steve] But you needan audience.
1507
01:18:23,235 --> 01:18:24,737
[Elvis] Audience?
1508
01:18:24,804 --> 01:18:26,672
-Bring it over to one.
-[Bones] At any second now,
1509
01:18:26,739 --> 01:18:28,674

stage and perform just for you.

01:29:59,532 --> 01:30:02,868
It's pretty familiar territory,right?
1737
01:30:05,004 --> 01:30:07,340
A reverend once told me...
1738
01:30:09,242 --> 01:30:12,345
"When things are too dangerous
to say...
1739
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:16,815
sing."
1740
01:30:33,566 --> 01:30:36,336
[piano playing
"If I Can Dream" melody]
1741
01:30:39,572 --> 01:30:45,545
[singing]
There must be lightsBurning brighter somewhere
1742
01:30:46,946 --> 01:30:51,417
Got to be birdsflying higher
1743
01:30:51,484 --> 01:30:54,886
In a sky more blue
1744
01:30:54,954 --> 01:30:56,789
[orchestra joining in]
1745
01:30:56,855 --> 01:30:59,359
[stage manager] Standing by.
We're seconds away, folks.
1746
01:30:59,425 --> 01:31:01,060
We're just waiting on upstairs.
1747
01:31:01,127 --> 01:31:03,529
We're gonna get a rehearsal
going very shortly.
1748
01:31:03,596 --> 01:31:06,499
Let's go, let's go, people!
First positions!
1749
01:31:06,566 --> 01:31:08,034
Here we go, from the top.
1750
01:31:08,101 --> 01:31:11,270
Mrs. Presley is quite
the homemaker, Priscilla is,
1751
01:31:11,337 --> 01:31:12,705
and I'm sure
she would love to have
1752
01:31:12,772 --> 01:31:16,142
one of the SK551 machines
so she can knit Elvis's--
1753
01:31:16,209 --> 01:31:18,378
-They were in there all night.
-Doing what?
1754
01:31:18,444 --> 01:31:20,613
He's working on a new song.
He says he's singing it.
1755
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:22,215
New song? Whoa, hey!
1756
01:31:22,281 --> 01:31:24,883
It's beginning to look
a lot like Christmas. Yes!
1757
01:31:24,951 --> 01:31:27,019
Gentlemen, take your seats.
1758
01:31:29,322 --> 01:31:32,358
Now, that's
a winter wonderland.
1759
01:31:32,425 --> 01:31:33,892
Mr. Bindle.
1760
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:39,031
You and I are
on the same page at last.
1761
01:31:39,098 --> 01:31:40,933
Bring up the lights
on the sign.
1762
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,436
Okay, yeah. Let's go.
1763
01:31:43,503 --> 01:31:46,239
[stage manager] Dancers, stop.
Dancers, stop. Stop!
1764
01:31:47,006 --> 01:31:49,642
Turn about. Turn about.
1765
01:31:49,709 --> 01:31:51,677
You've got to get some roll.
I got action on the right side.
1766
01:31:51,744 --> 01:31:54,514
Turn around. Come on,through, through, through!
1767
01:31:57,817 --> 01:32:00,286
We're lost in a cloud
1768
01:32:01,587 --> 01:32:04,190
With too much rain
1769
01:32:05,291 --> 01:32:08,060
We're trapped in a world
1770
01:32:09,128 --> 01:32:12,765
That's troubled with pain
1771
01:32:12,832 --> 01:32:19,038
But as long as a manHas the strength to dream
1772
01:32:19,105 --> 01:32:26,212
He can redeemhis soul and fly
1773
01:32:30,383 --> 01:32:38,057
Deep in my heartThere's a trembling question
1774
01:32:38,124 --> 01:32:42,094
Still, I am sureThat the answer's
1775
01:32:42,161 --> 01:32:45,731
Answer's gonna comesomehow
1776
01:32:45,798 --> 01:32:49,268
Out there in the dark
1777
01:32:49,335 --> 01:32:53,473
There's a beckoning candle,yeah
1778
01:32:53,539 --> 01:32:57,276
And while I can thinkWhile I can talk
1779
01:32:57,343 --> 01:33:01,547
While I can standWhile I can walk
1780
01:33:01,614 --> 01:33:05,051
While I can dream
1781
01:33:05,117 --> 01:33:09,188
Oh, please let my dream
1782
01:33:09,255 --> 01:33:13,125
Come true, oh
1783
01:33:16,729 --> 01:33:20,299
Right now
1784
01:33:20,366 --> 01:33:23,202
Let it come true right now
1785
01:33:29,242 --> 01:33:32,111
[song ends]
1786
01:33:34,213 --> 01:33:35,515
[faint applause]
1787
01:33:35,581 --> 01:33:37,550
[Elvis on monitor]
Thank you. Good night.
1788
01:33:37,617 --> 01:33:40,152
[Parker] I was always said,when it came to music,
1789
01:33:40,219 --> 01:33:41,854
my boy knows best.
1790
01:33:41,922 --> 01:33:46,792
But the special was my idea.It was a tremendous hit.
1791
01:33:47,827 --> 01:33:49,395
We was back on top.
1792
01:33:49,462 --> 01:33:53,266
But some people wereputting ideas into his head
1793
01:33:53,332 --> 01:33:57,103
that he didn't need me no more.
1794
01:33:57,169 --> 01:33:59,805
["Any Day Now"
by Presley playing]
1795
01:34:02,808 --> 01:34:04,143
[Priscilla] Whoo-hoo!
1796
01:34:05,311 --> 01:34:06,546
It's working.
1797
01:34:06,612 --> 01:34:08,114
[Jerry] London, Germany,Japan...
1798
01:34:08,180 --> 01:34:09,749
Hulett here has got itall lined up.
1799
01:34:09,815 --> 01:34:11,484
Air Presley's new wings.
1800
01:34:11,551 --> 01:34:13,553
[Hulett] You know, when you
play stadiums, it's like...
1801
01:34:13,619 --> 01:34:15,488
you do a week of shows
in just one night.
1802
01:34:15,555 --> 01:34:17,857
And when it's done,
you get on the plane...
1803
01:34:17,925 --> 01:34:19,960
You go where you want,
you play where you want,
1804
01:34:20,027 --> 01:34:22,595
and if they don't like it,
you go someplace else.
1805
01:34:22,662 --> 01:34:24,597
You know who told me that?
B.B. King.
1806
01:34:24,664 --> 01:34:26,532
[Hulett]
Well, B.B. knows, man.
1807
01:34:26,599 --> 01:34:28,936
And the someplace else
you should be going
is overseas.
1808
01:34:29,002 --> 01:34:30,536
I like that.
1809
01:34:30,603 --> 01:34:32,805
You know, I heard last year
alone, you had two offers.
1810
01:34:32,872 --> 01:34:34,240
Germany and Japan,
1811
01:34:34,307 --> 01:34:37,243
for a million bucks
for one night.
1812
01:34:37,310 --> 01:34:39,645
I mean, why the Colonel
would turn that down,
1813
01:34:39,712 --> 01:34:40,948
I have no idea, man.
1814
01:34:41,014 --> 01:34:43,716
Well, if you figure it out,
can you let us know?
1815
01:34:43,783 --> 01:34:45,151
Yeah.
1816
01:34:45,217 --> 01:34:46,085
[Hulett] Well, screw him.
You've got the plane now.
1817
01:34:46,152 --> 01:34:47,486
You should use it.
1818
01:34:47,553 --> 01:34:49,522
[Elvis] Yeah, come to Daddy.
1819
01:34:49,589 --> 01:34:51,591
Maybe we should call it
the "Lisa Marie."
1820
01:34:51,657 --> 01:34:53,026
[Jerry]
That's a beautiful name.
1821
01:34:53,092 --> 01:34:54,360
[Priscilla] Right?
1822
01:34:56,696 --> 01:34:59,732
[Parker] Hit me. Hit me.
1823
01:34:59,799 --> 01:35:04,337
Mr. Parker, Mr. Kohn
would like to see you.
1824
01:35:04,403 --> 01:35:06,872
Colonel Parker. Hit me.
1825
01:35:08,976 --> 01:35:11,177
[dealer] I can't, sorry.
1826
01:35:13,846 --> 01:35:16,449
[Kohn] You've run upquite a tab, Colonel.
1827
01:35:16,515 --> 01:35:20,119
And we hear your boy's working
with new people.
1828
01:35:20,988 --> 01:35:23,756
You've lost your meal ticket.
1829
01:35:23,823 --> 01:35:26,059
It's time to settle up,
1830
01:35:26,125 --> 01:35:28,694
before we have
to make things...
1831
01:35:28,761 --> 01:35:30,663
Uncomfortable.
1832
01:35:30,730 --> 01:35:33,899
Well, before the army, we found
no record of you at all.
1833
01:35:33,967 --> 01:35:36,569
No passport, no residency.
1834
01:35:36,636 --> 01:35:39,538
You were never a colonel.
Never a Tom.
1835
01:35:39,605 --> 01:35:41,440
You weren't even a Parker.
1836
01:35:41,507 --> 01:35:47,313
Why did you flee Holland,
Andreas van Kuijk?

-[brushing teeth]
-[Priscilla] I don't know why
1838
01:35:52,652 --> 01:35:54,420
you can't just let
the lawyers take care of it.
1839
01:35:54,487 --> 01:35:56,023
[Elvis] I have to see him
in Vegas.
1840
01:35:56,089 --> 01:35:58,491
He's in the hospital.
It's the right thing to do.
1841
01:35:58,557 --> 01:35:59,792
-Yeah, well...
-He's frail right now.
1842
01:35:59,859 --> 01:36:01,260
-You know what he's like, baby.
-[slaps]
1843
01:36:01,327 --> 01:36:03,195
-Hey! Watch it.
-[chatter on TV]
1844
01:36:03,262 --> 01:36:05,065
You know what he's like.
The second that
you're near him,
1845
01:36:05,132 --> 01:36:07,600
you'll be under ten feet
of snow before you know
what's happened.
1846
01:36:07,667 --> 01:36:10,904
[spits] My mind's made up.
Business is business.
1847
01:36:10,971 --> 01:36:12,271
He and I are done.
1848
01:36:12,338 --> 01:36:14,041
But I owe it to him
to tell him to his face.
1849
01:36:14,107 --> 01:36:17,843
Well, just make sure he
doesn't clip your wings, honey.
1850
01:36:17,911 --> 01:36:19,512
[spits] He won't!
1851
01:36:19,578 --> 01:36:22,115
I am gonna go
see him in Vegas.
1852
01:36:22,181 --> 01:36:26,886
I'm gonna look him in the eyes,
and I'm gonna tell him...
1853
01:36:26,953 --> 01:36:29,122
-[Priscilla] Watch my hair.
-[Elvis] I'm gonna tell him...
1854
01:36:29,188 --> 01:36:30,690
-Mmm-hmm.
-Mmm-hmm.

Oh. My boy.

Oh, my boy, I should have
come down to see you.

You're not meant
to get out of bed.

01:37:20,140 --> 01:37:22,708
Heart attack?
Colonel, you said your back--
1875
01:37:22,775 --> 01:37:26,779
My heart just stopped is all,
and I fell. It's--

It was all the excitement about
the Christmas special, you see.
1880
01:37:35,688 --> 01:37:36,990
I should never have worried,
1881
01:37:37,057 --> 01:37:40,860
because you came through
like you always do.
1882
01:37:40,927 --> 01:37:45,464
Nobody can sell "show"
to an audience like you.
1883
01:37:45,531 --> 01:37:47,934
I admit it. I was wrong.
1884

Colonel, I--
1885
01:37:52,338 --> 01:37:54,340
I wanted to tell you in person.

As far as business
is concerned...

our separate ways.

1890
01:38:08,088 --> 01:38:09,923
Well, you may be right.
1891
01:38:09,990 --> 01:38:12,658
Maybe it is time for me
to retire.
1892
01:38:12,725 --> 01:38:14,894
Oh, come on, Colonel,
quit snowin' me.
1893
01:38:14,961 --> 01:38:16,328
You ain't retiring.
1894
01:38:16,395 --> 01:38:20,533
I will miss the circus. I will.
1895
01:38:20,599 --> 01:38:23,036
But I cannot keep up
with these young fellas,
1896
01:38:23,103 --> 01:38:24,603
like your Mr. Hulett,
1897

a new show

01:38:30,376 --> 01:38:32,745
for you to play stadiums.
1900
01:38:32,812 --> 01:38:38,118
These international tours
are very, very expensive.
1901
01:38:38,185 --> 01:38:41,787
And the costs
cut into the artist's profits.
1902
01:38:41,854 --> 01:38:43,856
I worry that the financial risk
1903
01:38:43,924 --> 01:38:46,993
would put a strain
on your daddy.
1904
01:38:47,060 --> 01:38:48,561
But I cannot help but think,
1905
01:38:48,627 --> 01:38:50,563
as your former
technical advisor
1906
01:38:50,629 --> 01:38:53,732
and as an old friend,
what if...
1907
01:38:53,799 --> 01:38:58,771
the next Elvis Presley show
did not cost you a red cent?
1908
01:39:01,308 --> 01:39:06,779
I wonder if your daddy would
not like the sound of that.
1909
01:39:07,981 --> 01:39:11,617
The brand-new
International Hotel.
1910
01:39:30,937 --> 01:39:33,672
[whistles]
It's a mighty big stage.
1911
01:39:33,739 --> 01:39:35,741
The biggest in Las Vegas.
1912
01:39:35,808 --> 01:39:37,911
You could get lost
in a place like this.
1913
01:39:37,978 --> 01:39:40,813
My boy, you performed
that comeback special
1914
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:43,984
on a tiny square,
inside a studio,
1915
01:39:44,050 --> 01:39:45,618
and the fans loved it.
1916
01:39:45,684 --> 01:39:47,120
In a room this size,
1917
01:39:47,187 --> 01:39:51,891
you could give them
the greatest show on earth.
1918
01:39:51,958 --> 01:39:55,694
Nothing less
than Elvis Presley.
1919
01:39:55,761 --> 01:39:58,932
I've been experimenting
with a new, big sound.
1920
01:39:58,999 --> 01:40:00,066
Good. Good, my boy.
1921
01:40:00,133 --> 01:40:02,202
Because you can fill up
this entire stage
1922
01:40:02,269 --> 01:40:05,171
with every musical idea
that is inside that head.
1923
01:40:06,339 --> 01:40:07,673
No, it would cost.
1924
01:40:07,740 --> 01:40:10,076
[laughing]
Yes, that's the beauty of it.
1925
01:40:10,143 --> 01:40:12,012
You see, this here
International Hotel--
1926
01:40:12,078 --> 01:40:14,713
-[voices chattering]
-[door shuts]
1927
01:40:18,385 --> 01:40:20,120
[quietly]
This International Hotel...
1928
01:40:20,186 --> 01:40:21,187
[Elvis] Mmm-hmm.
1929
01:40:21,254 --> 01:40:23,856
...needs a major drawing card
1930
01:40:23,924 --> 01:40:27,726
to pull in all the rubes
and put it on the map.
1931
01:40:27,793 --> 01:40:30,596
So they will cover
all of the costs
1932
01:40:30,663 --> 01:40:32,698
of putting together your show.
1933
01:40:32,765 --> 01:40:34,533
And you just play here
for six weeks,
1934
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:36,468
and then off you go,
1935
01:40:36,535 --> 01:40:39,139
to tour around the world
1936
01:40:39,205 --> 01:40:43,310
with no financial risk
to Elvis Presley Enterprises.
1937
01:40:43,376 --> 01:40:44,777
None.
1938
01:40:49,416 --> 01:40:51,617
Well, goddamn.
1939
01:40:54,421 --> 01:40:56,089
[both chuckling]
1940
01:40:57,958 --> 01:41:00,859
-Snowman strikes again.
-[laughing] Oh, yeah.
1941
01:41:00,927 --> 01:41:05,098
We're going to make it snow.
It will snow.
1942
01:41:05,165 --> 01:41:07,566
[Elvis] First of all,we're gonna needthe Sweet Inspirations.
1943
01:41:07,633 --> 01:41:09,835
[singing] Yeah, yeah
1944
01:41:09,903 --> 01:41:11,670
[Elvis] And the Imperials.
1945
01:41:11,737 --> 01:41:14,107
[singing] We're caughtin a trapI can't walk out
1946
01:41:14,174 --> 01:41:16,376
[Elvis]
And a 30-piece orchestra.
1947
01:41:16,443 --> 01:41:20,013
[musicians warming up]
1948
01:41:23,716 --> 01:41:26,585
[Elvis] You know,the first thingthat I ever recorded,
1949
01:41:26,652 --> 01:41:28,054
the very first thing,
1950
01:41:28,121 --> 01:41:31,057
was an old, uh, rhythmand blues-type song
1951
01:41:31,124 --> 01:41:33,259
called "That's All Right,Little Mama."
1952
01:41:33,326 --> 01:41:35,894
-[instruments continue playing]
-And back then we only had
1953
01:41:35,962 --> 01:41:39,065
two or three instrumentsat the time.
1954
01:41:39,132 --> 01:41:41,101
But this ain'tno nostalgia show.
1955
01:41:41,167 --> 01:41:43,303
We're gonna do somethingdifferent.
1956
01:41:43,370 --> 01:41:45,038
[instruments stop playing]
1957
01:41:47,140 --> 01:41:51,411
I, uh...
I wanna try something new.
1958
01:41:51,478 --> 01:41:55,382
All right, Glen, you're gonna
start us off, okay?
1959
01:41:55,448 --> 01:41:56,849
Take the intro here.
1960

[Elvis speaking indistinctly]
2036
01:46:25,618 --> 01:46:28,655
Well, well, well, uh,
I think Mr. Presley
2037
01:46:28,721 --> 01:46:32,425
could be persuaded to make
the International his home,
2038
01:46:32,492 --> 01:46:36,129
provided he was paid
pretty well.
2039

What did you have in mind?

01:46:37,863 --> 01:46:40,166

Would you stand up, honey?
2044
01:46:46,339 --> 01:46:50,043
For an attraction as tremendous

-[woman] We love you,
Priscilla!

[guitar playing intro]
2053
01:47:14,734 --> 01:47:16,602
We're caught in a trap
2054
01:47:18,204 --> 01:47:20,473
I can't walk out

Oh, when you don't believeA word I'm sayin'?
2059
01:47:44,263 --> 01:47:50,837
We can't go on togetherWith suspicious minds
2060
01:47:50,903 --> 01:47:53,940
And we can't build our dreams
2061
01:47:54,006 --> 01:47:57,677
On suspicious minds
2062
01:47:57,744 --> 01:48:01,614
So, if an old friend I knowShove it up your nose
2063
01:48:01,681 --> 01:48:03,783
Stops by to say hello
2064

[laughter, applause]
2065
01:48:05,451 --> 01:48:12,792
Would I still see suspicionin your eyes?
2066
01:48:12,859 --> 01:48:16,295
That is what my boy
would expect.
2067
01:48:18,131 --> 01:48:20,867
Now... [laughs]
2068
01:48:20,933 --> 01:48:23,536
What are you going to pay me?
2069
01:48:23,603 --> 01:48:26,305

2073
01:48:39,218 --> 01:48:41,788
[Kohn] If you bring him back
every year,
2074
01:48:41,854 --> 01:48:44,223
I'll make it worth your while.
2075
01:48:44,290 --> 01:48:46,926

The greatest show on earth.
2147
01:53:54,968 --> 01:53:59,739
My dear boy, this brainchild
came from you and me,
2148
01:53:59,805 --> 01:54:03,542
but you alone
rose above it all,
and it worked with your talent,
2149
01:54:03,609 --> 01:54:07,114
and your dedication.
[emotional laugh]
2150
01:54:07,180 --> 01:54:08,647
We did it. We did it!

There's so many places
I haven't been yet, you know.
2167
01:54:50,790 --> 01:54:54,693
I'd like to go to Europe.
I'd like to go to Japan.
2168
01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:56,896

Oh, Mr. Diskin.
2174
01:55:07,873 --> 01:55:09,542
Have we discussed
with Mr. Hulett,
2175
01:55:09,608 --> 01:55:11,343
pertaining
to the death threats?
2176
01:55:11,410 --> 01:55:13,379
The death threats?
2177
01:55:13,445 --> 01:55:16,183

Elvis Presley has apparently
checked in to a private suite,

suffering from exhaustion.
2216
01:57:04,324 --> 01:57:06,259
A sign that Elvis
is in fact here
2217
01:57:06,326 --> 01:57:10,263
is the aluminum foil
that covers his windows
to deflect the sun.

Shock around the nation today

[Parker] Such a lovely girl,
Ms. Tate.
2225
01:57:27,613 --> 01:57:30,283
What has happened to law
and order in this country?
2226
01:57:30,350 --> 01:57:31,985
Hippies and radicals,
2227
01:57:32,052 --> 01:57:35,322
threatening and killing
popular entertainers.
2228
01:57:35,388 --> 01:57:39,758
The IRA blowing up England?
Planes exploding in mid-air?

01:57:39,825 --> 01:57:41,161
Has the world gone mad?
2230
01:57:41,227 --> 01:57:44,264
Hulett's security
is not what it needs to be.
2231
01:57:44,331 --> 01:57:45,731
And he knows it.
2232
01:57:45,798 --> 01:57:47,968
An international tour now
is out of the question.
2233
01:57:48,034 --> 01:57:49,903
What are you talking about,
Colonel?
2234
01:57:49,970 --> 01:57:52,105
I ain't gonna let these sons of
bitches push me off the stage.
2235
01:57:52,172 --> 01:57:53,605
Precisely.
2236
01:57:53,672 --> 01:57:55,408
You are not one of Hulett's
long-hair Zeppelins,
2237
01:57:55,474 --> 01:57:57,476
you are Elvis Presley.
2238
01:57:57,543 --> 01:57:59,212
You are beloved.
2239
01:57:59,279 --> 01:58:02,115
And I told him I have to
look Priscilla in the eye,
2240
01:58:02,182 --> 01:58:07,020
and I have to promise her
that little Lisa Marie's daddy
2241
01:58:07,087 --> 01:58:10,123
will be safe while
he's away from home.
2242
01:58:10,190 --> 01:58:11,958
We're taking the show
to the world, Colonel.
2243
01:58:12,025 --> 01:58:14,560
I ain't gonna disappoint
those fans.
2244
01:58:18,664 --> 01:58:20,599
Well...
2245
01:58:20,666 --> 01:58:25,738
If you want to book more dates,
we could do an American tour,
2246
01:58:25,804 --> 01:58:28,074

while Mr. Hulett
straightens out his security
problems overseas.
2248
01:58:31,777 --> 01:58:33,879
I'd like that
very much, son.
2249
01:58:33,947 --> 01:58:35,514
How is that gonna be any safer?
2250
01:58:35,581 --> 01:58:37,683
[Parker] Because staying
in this country,
2251
01:58:37,750 --> 01:58:41,587
I can handle every aspect
of security.
2252
01:58:41,653 --> 01:58:43,089
And then we go international?
2253
01:58:43,156 --> 01:58:46,126
Yeah, sure, around the world.
Wherever you want.
2254
01:58:46,192 --> 01:58:47,693
But in the meantime,
here in America,
2255
01:58:47,760 --> 01:58:50,397
we put on a great show.
2256
01:58:50,463 --> 01:58:51,730
And what will we do, Charlie?
2257
01:58:51,797 --> 01:58:53,732

02:07:33,686 --> 02:07:35,421
He'll mention the VIPs
that are here.
2421
02:07:35,488 --> 02:07:37,790
We've got some high-rollers
in here tonight.
2422
02:07:37,857 --> 02:07:39,125
Get ready for the spotlight.
2423
02:07:39,191 --> 02:07:42,528
Mr. International Hotel
himself.
2424
02:07:42,595 --> 02:07:45,032
-Thank you.
-Ah, there you go.
2425
02:07:45,097 --> 02:07:47,533
And right next to him,
2426
02:07:47,600 --> 02:07:52,438
is my so-called manager,
Colonel Tom Parker.
2427
02:07:52,505 --> 02:07:56,108
-There he is.
-[chuckling] Come on.
2428
02:07:56,175 --> 02:08:01,581
But I hear rumors
that Colonel is an alien.
2429
02:08:01,647 --> 02:08:04,183
[laughter]
2430
02:08:04,250 --> 02:08:05,986
Got here on my rocket ship.

[cheering, applause]
2432
02:08:08,621 --> 02:08:09,655
Oh.
2433
02:08:13,359 --> 02:08:15,461
Somebody call the FBI
2434
02:08:15,528 --> 02:08:18,130
and tell 'em that
he has abducted me,
2435
02:08:18,197 --> 02:08:22,501
that he has locked me
in this golden cage,
2436
02:08:22,568 --> 02:08:26,806
to keep me here forever
with you, ladies and gentlemen.

So I'm caught in a trap
2439
02:08:32,745 --> 02:08:35,381

2440
02:08:36,582 --> 02:08:40,419
'Cause Colonel's got some
big debts, baby.
2441
02:08:44,256 --> 02:08:46,392
Excuse me.

I'm ever playing here.

the Lisa Marie...
2445
02:08:56,702 --> 02:09:01,307
It's named after my, uh...
my beautiful daughter.
2446
02:09:01,374 --> 02:09:03,576
And I'm gonna fly away.
2447

No, no, no...
2448
02:09:07,380 --> 02:09:10,349
You know, I'm gonna fly away.

Stop this show!

Come on,
get this curtain down.
2451
02:09:13,853 --> 02:09:15,621
Fuck the International.
2452
02:09:15,688 --> 02:09:19,126
Mr. Schilling, what the devil
is happening here?
2453
02:09:19,191 --> 02:09:20,559
And Las Vegas.
2454
02:09:20,626 --> 02:09:21,794
[Jerry] That's what
he wants to know.
2455
02:09:21,861 --> 02:09:24,563
Ain't no one
gonna stop me, man.
2456
02:09:26,099 --> 02:09:28,935
Oh! Security.
2457
02:09:29,002 --> 02:09:30,569

You don't have
a goddamn passport,
you son of a bitch!
2462
02:09:41,747 --> 02:09:43,449
You are fired!
2463
02:09:44,084 --> 02:09:46,285
You are fired!
2464
02:09:46,987 --> 02:09:49,488
You're fired!

[Charlie] E., I--
2469
02:10:10,309 --> 02:10:12,845
Colonel, I gotta--
I'll talk him down.
2470
02:10:21,054 --> 02:10:23,389
This is Colonel Tom Parker.
I wish it to be known
2471
02:10:23,456 --> 02:10:26,826
that Dr. Nick's services
are no longer required.
2472
02:10:26,892 --> 02:10:28,360
Thank you.
2473
02:10:29,695 --> 02:10:31,198
Hmm.
2474
02:10:31,263 --> 02:10:32,933
Well, Diskin...
2475
02:10:32,999 --> 02:10:35,568
if the boy wants to set out
on his own,
2476
02:10:35,634 --> 02:10:38,637
it's all right by me,
but Presley Enterprises
2477
02:10:38,704 --> 02:10:41,208
is going to cough up
what it owes.
2478
02:10:41,273 --> 02:10:43,275
-Are you ready?
-Ready.

won't come down.

[Elvis] What is this?
2492
02:11:44,470 --> 02:11:48,407
Well, that is what we owe
the Colonel.
2493
02:11:51,111 --> 02:11:52,812
We're broke.
2494
02:11:55,347 --> 02:11:58,384
Daddy, I've been playing this
mausoleum for a hundred years.
2495
02:11:58,450 --> 02:11:59,885
How could we be broke?
2496
02:11:59,953 --> 02:12:01,720
[Vernon] You spend
so much money.
2497
02:12:01,787 --> 02:12:05,457
You know, you got the cars
and the girls and the clothes,
2498
02:12:05,524 --> 02:12:07,593
and all the...
you know, new airplane.
2499
02:12:07,660 --> 02:12:09,062
Daddy, you are
my business manager.
2500
02:12:09,129 --> 02:12:10,696
You're supposed
to be taking care of business.
2501
02:12:10,763 --> 02:12:13,532
I don't know what to tell you,
son, we're broke!
2502
02:12:13,599 --> 02:12:15,334
We're plain broke.
2503
02:12:15,401 --> 02:12:17,336
Gotta take the Colonel back.
2504
02:12:17,403 --> 02:12:19,572
I am not taking him back.
2505
02:12:19,638 --> 02:12:21,540
We're gonna lose Graceland.
2506
02:12:33,987 --> 02:12:35,922
I am not taking him back!

[yelling]
2508
02:12:38,824 --> 02:12:40,093
He takes everything from me.
2509
02:12:40,160 --> 02:12:42,628
He takes 50%
of everything that I make!
2510
02:12:42,695 --> 02:12:44,130
And now he wants
to take the home
2511

that we bought for Mama!
2512
02:12:46,967 --> 02:12:47,968
Listen to me, Daddy.

That old bastard
can sue if he wants,
2514
02:12:51,204 --> 02:12:53,073
but I am flying away.

You bled me dry
and you still want more?
2519
02:13:12,491 --> 02:13:14,727
I'm not an uncaring man,
Mr. Presley.
2520
02:13:14,793 --> 02:13:17,830
Don't you "Mr. Presley" me,
you toad.
2521
02:13:17,897 --> 02:13:20,967
If you are so determined
to get out of our contract--
2522
02:13:21,034 --> 02:13:22,568
You're goddamn right
I want out.
2523
02:13:22,635 --> 02:13:24,536
Well, I will personally
loan you the money
2524
02:13:24,603 --> 02:13:26,572
that you owe
to Jamboree Attractions.
2525
02:13:26,639 --> 02:13:28,407
Yeah, you'll still have
your claws in me.
2526
02:13:28,474 --> 02:13:29,708
You'll still have me
working here
2527
02:13:29,775 --> 02:13:31,677
like a goddamn slave
in a salt mine,
2528
02:13:31,744 --> 02:13:34,047

I am you. And you are me.

Cut the horseshit!
2533
02:13:44,057 --> 02:13:46,326

about you has been a lie.

[Jerry] E.P., you all good?
2535
02:13:47,994 --> 02:13:52,399
[chuckles] My past is the least
of your problems, my boy.
2536
02:13:52,464 --> 02:13:58,238
Everyone else
you associate with
lives from you, Mr. Presley.
2537
02:13:58,305 --> 02:14:00,073
Even Vernon.
2538
02:14:00,140 --> 02:14:03,176
That's right,
even your own daddy
2539
02:14:03,243 --> 02:14:06,879
has looked after himself
before he's looked after you.
2540
02:14:06,947 --> 02:14:10,116
Yes, I have lived
from you, too,
but the difference is
2541
02:14:10,183 --> 02:14:11,850
you have also lived from me.
2542
02:14:11,918 --> 02:14:16,722
We have supported each other.
Because we shared a dream.
2543
02:14:16,789 --> 02:14:20,060
We are the same, you and I.
2544
02:14:20,126 --> 02:14:25,898
We are two odd,
lonely children,
reaching for eternity.
2545
02:14:28,435 --> 02:14:31,271
Maybe you should fly away,
my boy.
2546
02:14:31,338 --> 02:14:35,041
Away from all of this.
2547
02:14:35,108 --> 02:14:39,212
But if you do choose
to leave...
2548
02:14:40,779 --> 02:14:44,317
then I, for one,
will be very lonely.
2549
02:14:44,384 --> 02:14:46,885
So would your father.
2550
02:14:46,953 --> 02:14:50,723

be lonely, too.

I want things to go back
to the way they were.

-[Elvis] Yep.
2595
02:18:38,952 --> 02:18:40,687
All right, Daddy loves you.
2596
02:18:40,752 --> 02:18:43,089
-Bye, baby.
-[Vernon] Come on, baby.
2597
02:18:43,156 --> 02:18:44,457
-Bye, Papa.
-Good girl.
2598
02:18:44,524 --> 02:18:46,960

02:18:49,329 --> 02:18:52,232
-[Vernon] Here she is.
-Hi, baby. How you doing?
2601
02:18:54,934 --> 02:18:56,369
Want to say goodbye to Daddy?
2602
02:18:56,436 --> 02:18:59,838
-[Lisa Marie] Bye, Daddy.
-[Priscilla] You're so good.
2603
02:19:01,207 --> 02:19:03,809
Hi. How are you?
How you doing?
2604
02:19:03,875 --> 02:19:05,378
[Vernon] We're okay.
2605
02:19:07,413 --> 02:19:10,450
[jet engines whirring]
2606
02:19:24,664 --> 02:19:26,032
Hey.
2607
02:19:27,267 --> 02:19:28,401
Hi.
2608
02:19:30,869 --> 02:19:32,238
[Elvis] Hmm.
2609
02:19:37,677 --> 02:19:39,312

[sighs]
2611
02:19:54,260 --> 02:19:57,630
Honey, there's this place
in San Diego
2612
02:19:57,697 --> 02:19:59,399
that you can go to rest.
2613
02:20:00,433 --> 02:20:01,833
To heal.
2614
02:20:01,901 --> 02:20:04,003
After the show, you can fly
directly and be in a clinic
2615
02:20:04,070 --> 02:20:05,138
before anyone knows.
2616
02:20:05,204 --> 02:20:06,572
It's all been arranged.
2617
02:20:08,908 --> 02:20:11,311
I'm gonna be 40 soon, 'Cilla.
2618
02:20:13,980 --> 02:20:16,182
[whispers] Forty.
2619
02:20:16,249 --> 02:20:18,918
And nobody's gonna remember me.
2620
02:20:21,154 --> 02:20:23,356
I never did anything lasting.
2621
02:20:25,558 --> 02:20:28,827
I never made that classic film
that I could be proud of.
2622
02:20:28,894 --> 02:20:31,197
But what about A Star is Born?
2623
02:20:32,999 --> 02:20:35,435
Uh... [chuckles lightly]

2628
02:20:52,385 --> 02:20:55,121
If you dream it,
you can do it, baby.
2629
02:20:57,090 --> 02:20:59,058
I'm all out of dreams.
2630
02:21:01,527 --> 02:21:03,262
Promise me.

2639
02:22:49,802 --> 02:22:52,004
that doesn't have any legs?
2640
02:22:52,071 --> 02:22:54,207
So it can't land on nothing.
2641
02:22:56,242 --> 02:22:58,544
It lives its whole lifeon the wing.
2642
02:23:00,780 --> 02:23:04,851
When it gets tired,
it just spreads its wings
2643
02:23:04,918 --> 02:23:07,420
and sleeps on the wind.
2644
02:23:09,957 --> 02:23:13,659
If it ever does land,even but one time...
2645
02:23:16,229 --> 02:23:18,130
so it dies.

Elvis Presley died today.He was 42.
2648
02:23:26,138 --> 02:23:27,807
Apparently,it was a heart attack.
2649
02:23:27,874 --> 02:23:29,809
He was found in his homein Memphis...

2651

[President Carter]
Elvis Presley's death
2652
02:23:33,746 --> 02:23:36,215
deprives our countryof a part of itself.
2653
02:23:36,282 --> 02:23:37,850
He was uniqueand irreplaceable.
2654
02:23:37,918 --> 02:23:39,519
[reporter 3] Thousandsof mourners have gathered
2655
02:23:39,585 --> 02:23:41,153
outside the gatesof Graceland...
2656
02:23:41,220 --> 02:23:42,889
[Carter] Using the stylesof white country
2657
02:23:42,956 --> 02:23:44,657
and Black rhythm and blues,
2658
02:23:44,724 --> 02:23:47,260
permanently changed the faceof American popular culture.
2659
02:23:47,326 --> 02:23:49,762
[reporter 4] The outpouringof grief can be seeneverywhere.
2660
02:23:49,829 --> 02:23:52,632
[Carter] He was a symbolto people the world over,
2661
02:23:52,698 --> 02:23:55,868
of the vitality,rebelliousness...
2662
02:23:55,936 --> 02:23:58,804

2663
02:23:58,871 --> 02:24:02,208

2665
02:24:04,844 --> 02:24:08,214
Some say it was me.
2666
02:24:08,281 --> 02:24:12,184
No. I'll tell youwhat killed him.
2667
02:24:13,219 --> 02:24:16,289
It was love.
2668
02:24:16,355 --> 02:24:18,824
His love for you.

[faint applause, cheering]
2670
02:24:21,193 --> 02:24:23,663
You know, a few weeksbefore he died,
2671
02:24:23,729 --> 02:24:27,901
I saw him singfor the very last time.
2672
02:24:27,968 --> 02:24:30,303
He could barely stand up.
2673
02:24:31,337 --> 02:24:34,106
"Unchained Melody."
2674
02:24:34,173 --> 02:24:37,443
From an album called
Unchained Melody.
2675
02:24:37,510 --> 02:24:41,447
Makes a lot of sense. Okay.
[light chuckle]
2676
02:24:41,514 --> 02:24:46,118
[Parker] But that night,he sang as he always did.
2677
02:24:46,185 --> 02:24:48,387
With all his heart and soul.
2678
02:24:48,454 --> 02:24:50,089

[Presley]
When I was a child,ladies and gentlemen,
2705
02:26:57,583 --> 02:26:59,785
I was a dreamer.I read comic books
2706
02:26:59,852 --> 02:27:02,588
and I was the heroof the comic book.
2707
02:27:02,655 --> 02:27:05,926
I saw movies and I wasthe hero in the movie.
2708
02:27:05,992 --> 02:27:08,227
So every dreamthat I ever dreamed
2709
02:27:08,294 --> 02:27:10,696
has come true
a hundred times.
2710
02:27:12,231 --> 02:27:18,972
Are you still mine?
2711
02:27:20,439 --> 02:27:27,580
I need your love, ooh
2712
02:27:30,583 --> 02:27:33,120
I learned very early
in life that...
2713
02:27:33,186 --> 02:27:35,989
"Without a song,
the day would never end,
2714
02:27:36,056 --> 02:27:38,824
without a song,
a man ain't got a friend,
2715
02:27:38,891 --> 02:27:42,195
without a song,
the road would never bend,
2716
02:27:42,261 --> 02:27:43,329
without a song."
2717
02:27:43,395 --> 02:27:45,264
So I keep singing a song.

02:27:45,331 --> 02:27:48,101

["Summer Kisses, Winter Tears"
by Presley playing]
2771
02:32:21,941 --> 02:32:26,112
Summer kisses, winter tears
2772
02:32:30,849 --> 02:32:35,388
Summer kisses, winter tears
2773
02:32:35,455 --> 02:32:39,792
That was what she gave to me
2774
02:32:39,858 --> 02:32:43,796
Never thoughtI'd travel all alone
2775
02:32:43,862 --> 02:32:50,203
The trail of memories
2776
02:32:54,840 --> 02:32:57,709
["The King And I" by Eminem
and CeeLo Green playing]
2777
02:35:23,889 --> 02:35:26,092
Don't tiptoe, stomp my ground
2778
02:35:26,159 --> 02:35:28,727
Gotta let 'em knowwe're comin'

Girls goin' wild, too cray

Look at what you made

Always come correctThere's no turnin' back
2786
02:35:48,114 --> 02:35:50,350
Takin' bigger steps
2787
02:35:50,416 --> 02:35:52,118
That's all I can do
2788
02:35:52,185 --> 02:35:55,821
That's all for the momentIf that's all right with you
2789

That's all right now, MamaAnyway you do
2795
02:36:12,972 --> 02:36:16,709
We can't go on together
2796
02:36:16,775 --> 02:36:19,345
With suspicious minds
2797
02:36:21,147 --> 02:36:25,118
And we can't build our dreams
2798
02:36:25,184 --> 02:36:28,388
On suspicious minds
2799
02:36:46,372 --> 02:36:48,141
["If I can Dream"
by Maneskin playing]
2800
02:36:48,207 --> 02:36:54,580
There must be peaceand understanding sometime
2801
02:36:55,948 --> 02:36:58,017
Strong winds of promise
2802
02:36:58,084 --> 02:37:03,690
That will blow awaythe doubt and fear
2803
02:37:03,756 --> 02:37:07,994
If I can dream of a warmer sun
2804
02:37:08,061 --> 02:37:11,664
Where hope keeps shiningon everyone
2805
02:37:11,731 --> 02:37:15,168
Tell me why, oh, why,
2806
02:37:15,234 --> 02:37:22,308
Oh, why won't that sun appear
2807
02:37:28,147 --> 02:37:31,117
We're lost in a cloud
2808
02:37:31,984 --> 02:37:35,887
With too much rain
2809
02:37:35,955 --> 02:37:39,625
We're trapped in a world
2810
02:37:39,692 --> 02:37:43,329
That's troubled with pain
2811
02:37:43,396 --> 02:37:49,569
But as long as a manHas the strength to dream
2812
02:37:49,635 --> 02:37:56,576
He can redeem his soul and fly
2813
02:37:58,478 --> 02:38:01,214
Oh...
2814
02:38:01,280 --> 02:38:07,320
Deep in my heart,there's a trembling question
2815
02:38:08,654 --> 02:38:12,558
Still I am surethat the answers
2816
02:38:12,625 --> 02:38:15,762
The answers gonna come somehow
2817
02:38:15,828 --> 02:38:23,569
Out there in the dark,there's a beckoning candle
2818
02:38:23,636 --> 02:38:27,540
And while I can think,while I can talk
2819
02:38:27,607 --> 02:38:31,911
While I can stand,while I can walk
2820
02:38:31,978 --> 02:38:34,614
While I can dream
2821
02:38:35,615 --> 02:38:38,384
Please let my dream
2822
02:38:39,519 --> 02:38:44,023
Come true
2823
02:38:46,993 --> 02:38:50,897
Right now
2824
02:38:50,963 --> 02:38:53,433
