Elvis: All the King's Men (Vol. 3) - Wild in Hollywood
( 1997 )
Elvis Presley's acting career lasted from 1956 to 1969, leaving a legacy of 31 films and soundtracks. This one-hour documentary takes you back in time to Elvis's Hollywood days as you overhear five of his close friends remember his off-camera shenanigans, his encounters with Hollywood legends, and his friendships with his leading women. Wild in Hollywood is the third tape in the six-tape set All the King's Men. And just as with the other volumes, these stories have an added sense of honest charm as the entire dialogue among the longtime Elvis buddies is recorded in a makeshift soundstage consisting of a couple of leather couches and walls lined with Elvis movie posters.

The King Comes Back enables the viewer to be a fly on the wall as five of his confidantes recap Elvis's life in the late 1960s through the early 1970s in a lo-fi, improvised living room setting. The stories run from the trivial (discussing Elvis's stress-related nosebleeds) to major (introducing Elvis--"the Happy Pappy"--to his daughter Lisa Marie) and take you from Hawaii to Memphis to Vegas. Just as in the other tapes in the six-tape set All the King's Men, you are given a full view of his life for this time period, only to look forward to the next chapter.
