Now available on YouTube, this movie is a gem of realism with a story line that is deeply moving and at times frustrating. It shows the hardships of a very young couple who decide to marry before they have secured a home. . . . The acting and realistic scenes from the major characters and sub plots is very engaging.

As the couple strive to find a home they are helped by many who are also living in poverty. . . The acting shows off Vittorio De Sica's direction beautifully as one is drawn into the lives of the married couple early on. . . . In the end, the couple move forward with the help of many, showing that although they have major financial hurdles, they enjoy a wealth of deeply moving relationships with many who were living in similar circumstances. . . I highly recommend this film.

This is not really a film about Elvis, it is a reflection of scattered thought bubbles in Baz Luhrmann's mind that that seeks to showoff his editing and stylistic gymnastics. As a consequence, the film is a mess. There is no effort to showcase the vocal range of Elvis, or to do justice to all the hard work required on the road to stardom - Instead, this is an invention that barely scratches the surface of it's namesake character. In truth, it is really a bio about Colonel Tom Parker After 1 hour, I have had enough and am amazed I have continued watching - I feel so sorry for the family and fans that this mess was created.

I was looking forward to watching this, now I can't wait to turn it off - Dreadful film.
