When Elvis stopped making movies in Hollywood and returned to making music following his triumphant 1968 comeback he gathered together a group of hot Nashville cats to back him up. THAT'S THE WAY IT IS follows Elvis as he prepares to return to the stage and follows him up to his opening nights. This is a compelling fascinating and highly amusing musical documentary where Elvis' overall talent and musicality come through while watching him rehearse jam and arrange his list of songs. Simultaneously celebrating and poking good-natured fun at the Las Vegas era of Elvis's career director Denis Sanders often just sits back and lets the performances speak for themselves. The film includes the King preparing offstage for his 1970 tour and culminates in his opening night performance in Las Vegas. The film includes more than 30 of the King's fabulous songs.System Requirements:Running Time: 108 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â MUSICALS/MUSICALS Rating:Â NR UPC:Â 012569798618 Manufacturer No:Â 79861

Customer Rating: Summary: A must for every Elvis fan Comment: Every Elvis fan will want this DVD set in their collection. Behind the scenes and great concert coverage will be your reward. Customer Rating: Summary: Elvis - That's the Way It Is Comment: The remade That's the Way It Is, using lots of footage shot for the original but unused at the time, is a fantastic experience, which shows Elvis at his peak. He looks and sounds fabulous.
The documentary begins with a riveting concert excerpt, then takes us back to preparations, first in Los Angeles (July 1970) and then Las Vegas (August).
The excitement builds as rehearsals take place, and the International Hotel's main showroom is readied for the big opening. During all of this, we hear a wide range of great music and get to share the interaction between Elvis and his support musicians and vocalists.
Then, the performance itself - a stunning, mesmerising tour de force which showcases not only the man's great talent but his charm and charisma. This is clearly shown in the faces and reactions of the audience, especially when Elvis leaves the stage and walks around the aisles, obviously enjoying himself. Indeed, his sense of fun runs like a thread throughout the movie and helps make it a wonderfully complete experience.
That's the Way It Is should not be missed.
Customer Rating: Summary: Elvis - That's the Way It Is (Two-Disc Special Edition) Comment: Disc No 2 - Very disappointing - Not Dolby Digital - Concert and complete disc only 1 speaker sound.
Please answer if this is to be so?
Regina Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful Comment: DVD is excellent. Elvis performing and interacting with the audience is a lot of fun to watch. Also, it's interesting to watch the process as he and the band/backup singers prepare for the Vegas show. Highly recommend. Customer Rating: Summary: Elvis - That's the Way It Is Comment: Elvis' concert film of his Las Vegas act. Elvis had a way of owning the songs he sang. His movies made money but hurt his career. As the movies phased out, the era of the white jumpsuit began. Elvis dug in at the International Hotel in August, 1969. "Suspicious Minds" climbed to #1. He was back, giving The Beatles all they could handle. He performed at the International (now the Las Vegas Hilton) and did shows around the country for the next 8 years.
