Description
Elvis '56 (Remastered Collector's Edition) is the definitive documentary chronicling the year Elvis Presley transformed from a rising rockabilly singer into a cultural earthquake. Directed and produced by Academy Award® winners Alan and Susan Raymond, and narrated by Levon Helm of The Band, the film captures the raw electricity of 1956--the breakthrough year that reshaped popular music and youth culture forever.
Featuring rare television performances from The Dorsey Brothers Show and The Ed Sullivan Show--including the infamous appearances where cameramen were instructed not to film below Elvis's waist--the film assembles nearly an hour of archival footage, early recordings, and behind-the-scenes material that documents the birth of a phenomenon. Complemented by iconic photographs from Al Wertheimer, who toured with Presley during that pivotal year, the documentary offers an intimate, ground-level look at Elvis at the dawn of superstardom.
Screened at the Sundance Film Festival and hailed by Rolling Stone as "The best documentary ever on Elvis," this newly remastered HD edition presents the film with enhanced clarity and sound, making it the ultimate collector's release for fans of the King of Rock 'n' Roll.
