career which I felt could have done something for Elvis'
in a positive way....
But failed to do so for many reasons.....
Here we had a movie finally where there
was no singing and Elvis appeared ready for
the part with a totally different look....
Elvis was made up to have that sort of
Clint Eastwood look that was still some
what popular at the time.....
The other actors looked however like they were all rejects
from a Gunsmoke TV show with bad dialogue to boot......
in my opinion.
The actor who played Gunner was the only actor
who looked and sounded the part,
as it appeared to me he was also given the best dialogue
of the movie too....
The actress who played as Elvis'leading lady should
never have been cast in the role in my opinion,
not only did her acting suck,
but she also appeared to have no chemistry
with Elvis at all, nor was she all that great
looking in my opinion.....
Anyway what's done is done I guess......
There does appear tho that another version
was filmed for some reason, looking at some of these pictures.
Could the first version have been a little better was
the dialogue a little more adult as rumoured?
For the producers to go out of their way to film Elvis
all over again just because they felt he looked better
with a vest on makes no sense....
Unless of course all the pictures without the vest were
just the rehearsals and no filming was done....
A few scenes from the movie were cut as well,
that we know of for example this boob scene
at the beginning of the movie.....
The bath scene......
Maybe Tunzi might have a few answers in his forth coming book
Elvis Presley as The One Called Charro...

As it could have been so much better.
