Sublime as always, thank you.

Re: The G.I. Blues Publicity Photo Sessions
Thanks for that. It neatly reminded me that the publicity still that you have posted/page 14 must have been taken before the date of 27/28/29 June, so could well be from around the 6th of June timeframe (I have this date,though I have the info missing at present). As can be seen below the still can be seen in the hands of a crew member at the end of the production (around the 24th June)lewlew wrote:Here's one of mine...an autographed G.I.

Re: The G.I. Blues Publicity Photo Sessions
Hi Davide, the person who got it was a crew grip at the studios at the time. It was apparently signed in the spring of 1960... I'm thinking May or early/mid June? That picture showing the still is a great one for me to have! So I applaud you for posting that. Do you have that particular picture any larger by any chance? As the pic on image shack is quite small.davide wrote:Thanks for that.

Thank you!
I have this image - which I had in my file, which I took to be the same as the one originally posted on the lower left of page 9. Looking closer, they are ever so slightly different.

Re: The G.I. Blues Publicity Photo Sessions
Maybe I'll find it bigger somewhere...great images Davide! Some of the other pics from that shoot I think are much nicer rather than the one Elvis or someone else chose for him to sign. Why choose one where Elvis is looking down?! I much prefer the side glance ones but maybe that's just my preference?

Re: The G.I. Blues Publicity Photo Sessions
Some great pics here, Davide !
This one reminded me of something that puzzled me for a long time.
There is a lengthy scene where the baby is required to cry throughout.
So, what did they do to it to induce the tears ?
I can't imagine they had their star & all the crew just sitting around waiting hours for 'Tiger' to do it naturally !
Maybe they had all six babies on hand, with the idea that one of them would be crying at any given time !

I always thought those were from "Blue Hawaii" time. 1961. I have been wrong all these years?

Re: The G.I. Blues Publicity Photo Sessions
Just a small update - the image below has a stamp of June 6 1960, which would indicate that indeed at least two photo session's took place.

I know of three shots of Elvis on the tank - 2 were printed in black and white in the book "A date with Elvis" but the colour one above is different to both of those.
