@ Tinsletown: Thanks for the history lesson. I really don’t care whether any of this is true. I watch movies for the entertainment value. And anyhow, no one really knows the truth and no one will ever know. Some things I think The King took to his grave.

Elvis is not referred to by name, only The Boss or The King and it all does seem a little contrived by a bloke who nobody has heard of. Still as I have said not a bad movie and not a white cat suit in site.

Thank you very much.

Next time, just post the link to a review. We don’t need you filling up our comment section with third party comments.

K-Thanx-Bye.

I just viewed a screener of this film (mine was entitled “Riding with Elvis”) and it’s not only “not great,” it’s just plain bad. This biopic is not even worthy to be a Lifetime made-for-television movie.

Anyone who knows anything about the Stanley family shouldn’t be surprised. It shows, once again, that they have the need to make themselves appear (more than) important in the life of Elvis. They’re notorious for cashing in on the Presley name shamelessly and repeatedly*.

We’re to believe that Elvis (who is never referred to by name in this production) actually relied on David Stanley as a bodyguard when he (Stanley) was nineteen years old, and was as an integral part of Elvis’ entourage. One scene even has Stanley disarming a knife-wielding fan attempting to attack Elvis. In all of the biographies I’ve read about Elvis (barring any done by this family), Stanley has never been given much more than a mention, and certainly never elevated to the status of anything more than a hanger-on.

Though most names of the major characters were changed, we’re also to believe that Stanley actually stopped a sexual assault by (who appears to be) the late Charlie Hodge (named changed to Darryl) on a female fan, and that he beat him (Hodge) within an inch of his life. This is only one of the more outrageous claims dramatized in the movie. The portrayal of who appears to be Joe Esposito (name changed to Ronnie) by Tom Sizemore is laughable, making Elvis’ road manager to be little more than an angry thug.

In the end he seems to blame the wrong turn he took in life to the lifestyle that Elvis thrust upon him. His (Stanley’s) failed marriage, addiction to drugs and lack of formal education (dropping out of school at 16 to go on tour) were all the price he paid because his mother married Elvis’ father.

Of course, this film is all about Stanley. And it shows.

*Dee Stanley, David’s mother, once sold a three-part tabloid tell-all to the National Enquirer claiming that Elvis and his mother had a sexual relationship

You must have a very special relationship with your siblings if you think that sounds normal.

i beg to differ, but doubt still exists as to whether the King is actually dead or not.

Heres some RS links for the smart people…
