Elvis Meets Nixon (1997 TV Movie)
7/10
Elvis Meets Nixon
8 January 2013
If you know the Elvis story and can get past Dick Cavett and Tony Curtis, this movie is entertaining and very funny. Both Elvis and Nixon are caricatures. A movie is a movie! I was drafted in 1969 at age 23 and could see both Elvis' and Jane Fonda's points of view. I think most baby boomers loved their country while hating the Vietnam War. It is a bit of an anachronism that at one point Fonda is referred to as "Hanoi Jane." Elvis met Nixon on December 21, 1970, while Jane did not go to Vietnam until July, 1972. I bought Elvis records as a kid and do not like to see him made fun of. The only one of the narrators who gives Elvis his due respect is Wayne Newton.
