It amazes me why people want to see footage of Elvis in 1977. Not exactly at his physical peak or even musical creativeness.
Unless your the morbid sort.
Or humanly interested in both highs and lows throughout the whole life – as shown in the Bio-pic, This is Elvis and the EPE-sanctioned Elvis The Great Performances.
Getting the wagon back on track, it clearly appears this is not a programme that deserves full marks, but it sounds like it’s still pretty good overall. It does makes some schoolboy errors. The Man and the Music Magazine criticised the recent Vegas comeback documentary for using 1970 footage for 1969, and logically would be expected to do the same for the same reliance in this film (though I can live with it in both documentaries). Though other inaccuracies exist in The Searcher and have been rightly pointed out, it looks like, from the objective assessment provided by Jukebox, that it works for the audience who perhaps were not particularly fascinated with Elvis up to now.
