Here's the alpha point of Elvis Presley's film career, the introduction of the raw-boned Mississippi boy into Hollywood pictures. E.P. takes a supporting role, and his entrance is delayed for nearly 20 minutes: kid brother to returning Civil War soldier Richard Egan, his character marries Egan's sweetheart Debra Paget when Egan is presumed dead. It's a chance for Elvis, his face still trembling with baby fat, to emote dramatically and finish tragically, both of which he does passably well. A serviceable Western, the film shamelessly shoehorns four Presley tunes into two sequences: E.P. crooning on mama's porch, and performing at a country fair (where starchy locals don't seem disturbed at the boy's gyrating hips and happy feet). All in all, a shrewd way to put a foot in Hollywood's doorway, and, of course, one of the last Presley movies to feel like a real film and not a vehicle for the King. --Robert Horton

Classic EP June 3, 2008
"Love Me Tender" was Elvis' introduction into the movies. I think without Elvis, it would probably have died at the box office. It was at best a "B" western had it not been his debut.
 This is where it all started. March 12, 2008
Want to see where the King of rock and roll got his start in Hollywood? Watch Love me Tender. Elvis was many things, including a very good actor. Let yourself slip away to a simpler time on the silver screen and enjoy seeing Elvis when he was still fairly innocent.
Great Memories April 11, 2007
Having seen this movie when it first came out in the 50's I'm sure my rating now is different than it was then as I was one of the hardcore Elvis fans! :) I am thrilled to add it to my collection.
B&W or color? March 12, 2006
I bought mine and it's in black and white, not colorized as the store claims to be. So I would give all the stores selling this item as colorized version a zero star!!!!
 NOT IN COLOR (as advertised by Amazon!) March 2, 2006

Now, WHAT a major disappointment! Look at the product description. It says: "Format: Closed-captioned, Color, Dubbed, Special Edition, Subtitled, Widescreen, NTSC"
Did it say Black and White OR Color?
Did you say Color?
Yes, that's what I thought I saw, too.
There IS a colorized version, so Amazon leads us to believe this is IT!
Isn't that false advertisement?
I emailed them and demanded an explanation and a refund on that product!
Sure, I am a big Elvis fan and I already have that movie, in original Black and White.
I bought this one, BECAUSE they advertised it in COLOR!
So, people, BE CAREFUL, DO NOT buy this thing if you also expected it to be in color.
I give 3 for the fact that it's not Elvis' best movie, but I'd give Amazon a MINUS 5 points, if they'd have a negative rating system!
