Elvis and the Beauty Queen

I still remember when I first saw this movie on television and the entrance of Don Johnson as Elvis made me laugh out loud. His high pitched voice was so unlike Elvis, it was almost like a Saturday Night Live routine that was SUPPOSED to be ridiculous. Stephanie Zimbalist I found impressive as an actress, but the only reason I could see to watch this movie at all was to hear Ronnie McDowell's excellent voice impression of Elvis seen on stage. As expected, the Las Vegas jumpsuits were perfect, but it isn't enough to make this anything but an interesting curio. Better to watch the Kurt Russell film "Elvis," directed by John Carpenter. They need little bit of trivia. Elvis Presley did play a character named John Carpenter in one of his later films.

first off....let me start with the biggest problems in the movie.....events.....she claims to have been with Elvis for 5 years....actually only 4 ..he never wore...a blue suit in his Hawaii Concert in 1973....where is Joe Esposito? the body guards that were in this movie were never in The Memphis Mafia ...where is Lisa Marie....christmas time...and not 1 mention of her? i mean come on...she needs to get real...if i were you i wouldn't watch this movie...unless you want to see countless lie after lie...the only thing she did in the movie...was make Elvis look bad and made herself look like An Angel...where have i heard that story line before...oh yeah Elvis And Me...but thats another story.

Thats Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong.

WOW! This is the worst Elvis tribute movie I have ever seen. Don Johnson is HORRIBLE! Looking at him in the cheesy wig and over the top jump suits almost made me puke. This is supposed to be a docudrama, it is neither! I know that this movie is from Linda Thompson's perspective but man is it ever bad writing.

Elvis is an icon and an American treasure. The filmmakers should have been required to run this by E's estate. As a die hard Elvis fan I would never recommend anyone see this film. "Elvis" with Kurt Russell is the definitive Elvis tribute and the singing by Russell is awesome! His reprise in "3000 Miles to Graceland" is awesome as well.

There is a reason that Don Johnson is out of work, and this film shows why! He should stick to singing "Heartbeat" and leave the Elvis songs to the KING!

I'm a Don Johnson fan, but this is undoubtedly the WORST movie, done by anybody, that I've ever seen. The acting was bad, as was the cinematography. Don should stick to doing action, because as The King, he just didn't cut it.

This is a good movie from Linda Thompsons perspective. I've seen other reviews say it's not a factual movie. It actually is a factual movie. One has to understand that names, places, costumes, and certain situations were either trademarked or names would have to be granted permission. It's also Hollywood. So you have to suspend real life, use your imagination and enjoy the movie. Nobody is Elvis Presley and, if you're a fan, nobody ever will. So don't knock Ms. Thompsons version of how she saw life with Elvis. It's a movie.....enjoy it.
