Elvis Presley è apparso in 31 film durante la sua carriera, dal
1956 al 1969.
Per qualche
anno, grazie all'enorme successo dei suoi film, Elvis Presley fu l'attore più
pagato di Hollywood. In particolare, due film - "Jailhouse Rock" e
"King Creole" - sono reputati dei classici del cinema.
Con il passare
degli anni, purtroppo, gli vennero offerte sceneggiature sempre più leggere e
film a basso costo.
Hollywood
vedeva in lui solamente un ottimo mezzo per guadagnare denaro, che poi veniva
speso per finanziare altri film, oppure colossal che sono entrati nella storia
del cinema.
Malgrado tutto,
Elvis continuò a coltivare la speranza di essere preso in considerazione
seriamente come attore, ma, purtroppo, questo non successe mai.
Ai 31 film vanno ad aggiungersi 2 documentari che raccontano alcuni momenti della sua carriera: il primo fu "Elvis: That's the way it is" del 1970; il secondo fu "Elvis on Tour" del 1972, che documenta 15 giorni di concerti attraverso gli Stati Uniti.
