Elvis: '68 Comeback Special (1968)
*** (out of 4)
This comeback special is a rather weird thing visually but when the music counts it's pretty much a home run. We see The King on a mini-stage where he's sometimes joined by a band and other times just performing solo. The performance by Elvis is pretty straight forward but it also packs a nice little punch as he goes back through several classics including Jailhouse Rock, Heartbreak Hotel, All Shook Up and Can't Help Falling in Love. Elvis doesn't waste too much time as the songs come very quickly and he doesn't take a break in between but instead delivers a fast rock show. The film also has some very funny moments including Love Me Tender where Elvis decides to play around with the lyrics at one point. While the music is great throughout the same can't be said for the silly way it was shot. I don't mind the small stage but apparently the footage was taken from a couple shows and it's edited together pretty poorly and the larger stage show, which a few songs are taken from, comes off pretty weak.
