I am a dedicated Elvis fan. I think a lot of the guy. After watching this I was kinda of left bewildered by Priscilla's intentions of participating in it. If anybody remembers her autobiography titled Elvis and Me. It was also a T.V. movie. She painted a very dark picture of her involvement with Elvis. Making him out to be a drug addict, womanizer, and a terrible husband. She says in the opening of Elvis by the Presley's "We had to be very careful in telling Elvis's personal life." Priscilla What exactly did you have to be careful about? You completely trashed Elvis out in your book and T.V. Movie. What further damage could you do to him? You have a daughter by this guy. What does she think when you say bad things about him? Elvis made mistakes like every other person on this earth and you make out like you never did a single thing wrong. Elvis isn't here to defend himself. Who knows what he could have told on you. Priscilla is a little easier on Elvis in this one. Elvis's cousin Patsy appears and you can really tell she truly cared about Elvis. Jerry Schilling appears also and he talks really good of Elvis. Priscilla is a Presley by name only. She divorced Elvis. It is obvious that she is capitalizing on his name. I mean she wants to keep his name so bad that she has a kid and won't even marry the kid's father. She even produces projects about Elvis for what reasons do you think? I have always believed it is wrong to talk about the dead. She says in this feature that 42 was such a young age to die at. She needs to sit back and think that Elvis lost almost half of his life span. That is really sad in itself. Why talk bad about someone who died so young. Haven't they already paid enough. Priscilla really needs to make up her mind whether Elvis was good or bad. In this one she makes him out to be quite a whole lot better guy. I enjoyed watching it. It was very good. I wish Priscilla would stay out of further Elvis projects because she doesn't make any sense. He's good one minute then he's bad the next. Lisa Marie should be the one who handles her fathers affairs. She stays with a consistent story about her father. I recommend this to all fans. It has home movies that I haven't seen before and pictures to. Just try to ignore Priscilla and her parents. My personal opinion they aren't telling the whole truth. Especially in the part where she brings up if her father pushed Elvis to marry her. I think he did. Too many people have said Elvis told them that. I think Elvis realized if he didn't that a scandal could arise and affect not only his career but his life in general.

This Is most likely the best Elvis documentary I have ever seen, I did not watch it on TV I saw it in the stores on DVD for sale so I of course brought it, I loved the rare footage of Elvis in his later days, You don't see that very often. However I did feel really sad In certain parts of the doco, more in the last half hour on so. For those of you who haven't seen this documentary and you are an Elvis fan I recommend you go out and rent or better yet buy this film, its full of non stop Evlis footage The 68 comeback special, The Aloha from Hawaii concert, The famous 1977 last concert, and much more. This film shows just how kind and generous this Great man was. No one will ever be able to match Elvis Aaron Presley "The King" .

This is a great two hour special event presented by CBS. An intimate look at the family and private life of the legendary Elvis Presley. Candid comments from his former wife, Priscilla and their daughter, Lisa Marie. Exclusive, never-before-seen TV performances and photos from the Presley Estate blended with private home movies of Elvis with his family and friends. Also interviews with Priscilla's parents, Paul and Ann Beaulieu and Elvis' cousin Patsy Geranen. And personal insight and comments from good friend Jerry Schilling.You see different aspects of Elvis' life...his time at home in Memphis and Califronia; his time in Hollywood making movies; his concerts on the road and in Vegas. There brought to light unabashed is Elvis' career highs and lows, his generosity and human frailties and the glimmer and echos of just part of what makes his legacy enduring for decades and decades to come.Of course its hard to mention Elvis without his music. Featured is music from TV specials, movies, concerts and his vast RCA catalog. Highlights featuring: 'Heartbreak Hotel', 'Suspicious Minds', 'In the Ghetto', 'Always On My Mind', 'Buring Love', 'My Way', 'If I Can Dream' and 'Can't Help Falling in Love'.This special will be available on DVD with an extra two hours of footage. There is a double CD featuring 32 of the Presley family favorites. And there is also the "Elvis by the Presleys"in hardback. Long live the King!

28 years, well almost, he has been gone. This special delivered a great in site to a man many under 35 only know in song and those B-Movie re-runs on mid day and late night TV. A good documentary on this famous man with many glimpses into his personal life that a lot of people probably never knew. It was a worth while effort on the part of his family to make this movie and is well worth a look see by those who missed it when it shows again on TV.It was put together with a lot of style, integrating some of the themes of his songs with pictures and home/new video clips of his life. Also a good sprinkling of never before seen (or heard) moments of both Elvis and Percilla's personal family life and the professional life of the "King of Rock and Roll".
