I liked this movie a lot more years ago. When I saw it recently , it did seem a bit cliched and I didnt think Elvis was as good as I originally thought. Still, it is better than 80% of his movies with a good cast & director. I think all Elvis movies up thru 1962 should be on blu-ray in addition to the ones we already have. The others are simply not worth it.

Yes, that would be a reason. But as you know, us fans are never treated to such stuff. BTW, where is all the extra outtake or not used scenes footage from Elvis films? Has anyone ever said?

Yes I loved G.I Blues in HD. Easy Come was good too but G.I Blues upped it I think.

Not sure but 'Love Me Tender' & 'G.I Blues' have terrific pictures.

:smt001 Easy Come Easy Go in HD. One of my favourite Elvis films. I'd definitely like to see that, especially with all those beautifully filmed underwater scenes and watery locations. Charro in HD would be cool too. Hopefully all 31 Elvis films will be released on Blu-ray.

I've seen Charro in HD (Apple itunes) --> the HD experience definitely improved it.

No they are not upscales, but they are 720p rather than the 1080p.

And of course and as usual, there will be no extras like behind-the-scenes, deleted scenes etc...
Why is it that Elvis is the only artist whose dvds and blurays have no extras ?
Maybe because they know by now that we, silly fans, will buy them anyway and then, maybe in a few months, there will be new releases with a little something extra, knowing that we will buy them again.

That happens a lot of times and I couldn't care less. When I started buying dvds, I cared a lot about the special features but I later realized that I hardly ever watch them anyway. Give me a nice transfer and I'm happy.

Man, are you serious ? You don' care because they aren't Elvis', but i bet, you and i and everybody else, will be watching them over and over again if they put any Elvis behind-the scene extra.

Yup. Sometimes, when I have seen the movie or TV show so many times, I go straight to the bonus features if I havent seen them in a while. It would be fantastic to have that kind of stuff on an Elvis DVD movie, especially one I have seen countless times. The bonus features would be 'new'!

Yes, I'm serious. I know that there are bonus features on the Viva Las Vegas, Love Me Tender and Jailhouse Rock releases but I haven't watched them. I heard about 30 minutes of the VLV commentary track and that's all.
And what extras would you like to see on Flaming Star or Follow That Dream for that matter. They aren't exactly classics.

Compared to most of the rest of the films of the 60's, they are Gone With The Wind.

As for extras, the only ones that interest me are deleted scenes and outtakes. Obviously Elvis didnt attend premieres or sit for any interviews when these films were being made and didnt live long enough to do them when home video releases started like Sinatra did for the release of Manchurian Candidate, etc.

I'm doubtful and its my concern. "Elvis On Tour" Blu-Ray was extremely disappointing. I'm optimistic that "Elvis: That's The Way It Is" will be of the same superb quality of "Viva Las Vegas" but the others, well, as I said.

"Flaming Star " is now available in India :costs around $14 approx. it is a 1080P transfer and region free. Not sure if Amazon.in can ship this release to all countries, due to copyright restrictions.
