Trivia
At the time of its release, the film included lots of very rare and never-before-seen footage of Elvis Presley.

Errores
When Elvis pulls up to the house in the beginning, his girlfriend gets out of the car wearing a maroon pantsuit. When he opens the door and they enter the house, she is wearing blue shorts and a blue workout suit jacket. This was due to scenes that were not used in the film, as this scene also shows Elvis going in the front door; then the next scene shows him coming through Graceland from the back entrance, passing the front door from the inside before heading upstairs. This can be explained by noting Elvis's last hours. He came home, played racquetball in the racquetball building before entering Graceland from the rear entrance and then retreating to his room. This also explains the different clothes that the Ginger Alden character wears.

Citas
Pauline Nicholson: [Elvis and Ginger prepare to go upstairs to his bedroom, passing the kitchen doorway, where Pauline is seated at the table] Mr. P, can I get you some sandwiches?
Elvis at 42: [waves] That'd be fine, Pauline.

Créditos curiosos
Certain sequences in this film were recreated.

Versiones alternativas
Home video and some cable TV versions run 143 minutes and contain additional material not in theatrical release, such as censored footage from Elvis' 1968 comeback special, and an additional number from his final concert. It does, however, delete "Are You Lonesome Tonight".

This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen!

"This is Elvis" is an interesting and fantastic documentary to watch even if you are not an Elvis fan.

As an Elvis fan, I am very critical when it comes to inaccuracies about his life. I found this documentary to be very accurate and honest with the way it told the story of Elvis' life. The blend of actual Elvis footage along with very believable reenactments makes the documentary flow with continuity and excitement.

In addition, the song selections that accompanied the various video sequences were always right on the money. It was like watching Elvis' life story being told through entertaining and poignant music videos.

One thing I respected about the documentary, although difficult to watch, was the way the creators did not try to candy-coat the details of the sad way Elvis' life began to spiral down a self-destructive path during the 70's until his untimely death at the age of 42.

All in all, "This is Elvis" is a very entertaining, empathetic, and honest look at the life of Elvis Presley; the American Icon who rightfully earned the title as the King of Rock 'n Roll.
