Title: ELVIS AT HIS BEST IN A DEEPLY FLAWED MOVIE
Review: What a tragedy: In these Las Vegas performances, Elvis looks and sounds better than ever -- but the experience is marred by almost shockingly incompetent filmmaking. It would be acceptable if the only flaw was that performances look as though they were shot in Super-8. But what really ruins this movie is that for some unknowable reason the filmmaker inter-spliced positively banal and truly boring interviews throughout, with the most peculiar Elvis fans a person could find. An example: We're treated to watching to English fans ride around on a bicycle that Elvis donated to their fan club. The interview segments have the inadvertent effect of making Elvis fans look absurd and making the rest of us wonder what could be wrong with a star who has such pallid followers. It's just too bad that these otherwise wonderful performances are marred by such bad judgement and lack of direction on the part of the filmmaker.
