Don Johnson gained 40 pounds to portray Elvis in this film.
Ronnie McDowell provided the vocals to all of Elvis' songs, including A Very Precious Love, which Don Johnson and Stephanie Zimbalist sang as a duet.
All scenes were filmed in Los Angeles.
Working title was Elvis and Me
The color scheme seen when Elvis is first showing Linda around Graceland is inaccurate. Linda and Elvis worked together to come up with the red theme. Also, Linda designed the stained glass in the house. A receipt on display at Graceland shows that the designer closely worked with Linda on the designs. The movie shows the stained glass already installed.
