Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

A very well done documentary, officially authorized by the Elvis Presley estate. Info and tidbits focusing on the films "Love Me Tender", "Loving You", "Jailhouse Rock" and "King Creole"...all made prior to Elvis' stint in the Army. Included are clips from those movies, Elvis' screen test, movie outtakes, TV appearances and previously unseen(at the time) home movies. A few Elvis songs are featured like: "Anyplace Is Paradise", "Love Me Tender", "Loving You", "Mean Woman Blues", "Jailhouse Rock", "Baby, I Don't Care", "Young and Beautiful", "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Crawfish". Some comments from: Scotty Moore, Elvis' original guitarist; good friend George Klein; girlfriend June Jaunico; writer/directer Hal Kanter; writer Allan Weiss and co-star Jan Shephard. Top notch editing and great blending of B&W and color footage. "Elvis in Hollywood" is one of the better Elvis documentaries I've seen.
