DVD Reviews of Destination Vegas - Elvis
DVD Review: Marginal documentary
Summary: 3 Stars
A well-written and delivered essay about how a Country boy became a Las Vegas icon forms the basis of this occasionally messy attempt to encapsulate an extraordinary and complicated career.
For new fans, the old clips look okay; for old fans, the previously unseen 8mm and still shots will hold some interest. But the images rarely correspond to the narration. We hear that the 1957 "Jailhouse Rock" is his greatest film, then find the trailor for said picture in the section where his Hollywood decline of the '60s is discussed.
The point of the whole thing is (apparently) to contrast "Vegas" with the 1956 Elvis, who was raw and funky, explosive, all shook up. Ironically, Elvis did appear in Vegas that year, but the venue was off-limits to his young fans. The commentary would have been improved to mention this strange phenomenon: Elvis didn't connect with the middle-aged fans originally, but years later actually structured his show *around* that demographic!
There's a distasteful inclusion of a supposed example of Elvis "losing it" in public, presumeably because of false rumours. He sounds quite perturbed, but if one listens closely he makes perfect sense. He says that he is at the center of a major enterprise, involving the transport of three airplanes worth of people and equipment, and the presentation of the biggest musical show in the world. How can he be spaced out and deliver at the same time?
But despite the obvious bias and the poorly integrated visuals, and the short running time, there's enough interesting stuff to keep this DVD out of the "Used DVDs" bins for a while.
