They ask him about retirement 😢 How I wish that would’ve been an option. He never gives himself enough credit. So humble.

Elvis was wise beyond his years its amazing how he handle this interview when they were swarmed around him. In todays world they wouldn't get that close to an entertainer. He was simply the best

I can't believe just how articulate and intelligently he answered all the questions back in 1957! He didn’t have any big publicity machine behind him. Beats celebrities of today anytime!

You can tell the reporters really liked him. Me too.

This is, by far, the best interview with Elvis I’ve ever heard. Not that I’ve heard a million of them, but if you knew nothing about him you could learn a tremendous amount about the kind of person he was just from listening to this. Thank you for This!

Ive always preferred Elvis" ballads. I always tear up on the sad ones. He had so much soul.

What a beautiful human I love you Elvis take notes this is how you do interviews people

I would direct young people who want to go into show business to come and listen to what “sincere” sounds like ! He’s marvellous! So sad he had a tragic ending .

Elvis was fantastic in this interview! So polished and well-spoken for his age, answering all the questions being fired at him. Wow.

Elvis was so amazing even at 22 so humble and such a southern gentleman

He had such a beautiful speaking voice and yes he could sing ballads for sure.

At that point Elvis didn't think he had the voice for ballads, such a humble guy.....He could sing ballads then !!

Elvis vacationed quite a few times in Hawaii. Never left the USA Except for these tour stops in Canada and his time in the Military. It’s too bad he was never able with his $Millions to explore the World. He was extremely well read. It is said that his grueling schedule was simply because he felt responsible to support so many close to him. An extremely stand up man that should have been a little bit more selfish and rightfully so.

Listening to Elvis, talking about acting, it's such a shame he never got the chance to explore that career. In a way the fans are partly to blame, Elvis didn't get the opportunity to try it as a serious actor. The two movies that required serious acting and hardly any singing, Flaming Star and Wild in the country, didn't do well at the box office. The movie that came after these two, Bleu Hawaii, on the other hand, was a box office smash hit. After these three movies, it was clear in what direction Elvis movies would go.

@sandysexton6570

2 жыл бұрын

I thought King Creole was Elvis’ best movie, and I consider that it would have been even better if there were less songs - and better still if it featured no songs, if they truly wanted to develop his acting career. I thought Flaming Star was his second best movie, and followed very closely was Kid Galahad. Kid … was released after Blue Hawaii. I’m making some calculated guesses that when they found that Girls, girls, girls in 1962 was so successful, combined with Blue Hawaii earlier, Colonel Parker decided to put Elvis into the can. Since both Blue Hawaii [we know that this was Elvis’ biggest hit movie] and Girls, girls, girls made more money than either Wild in the County, Follow that dream, or Kid Galahad, the decision was made to focus more on Elvis’ music than his acting. Those soundtracks from his movies starting with Girls, girls, girls showed an increase in poor songs as well. {Viva Las Vegas was probably his best movie during those slack years}. When Elvis was about to make his comeback, his movies were superior than the previous ones; but, by this time, the fans had enough of the mediocrity and supported him less. “Money, honey, if you want to get along with me …”. By the way, I thought Wild in the Country was so bad that Elvis couldn’t redeem it. Anyway, this is just my opinion, not from some famous movie critic.
