"Still one of the best documentaries about rock'n'roll ever made." (All Music Guide) "He allowed his legs to spread wide and his right knee to twitch barely perceptibly. It was a sort of mix of a quick shuffle and a Charleston lope. He grinned derisively, lowered his eyelids, smiled out of the left corner of his mouth, and jerked his hips. American television viewers had never seen anything like it, and Elvis offered it to them... on television... from coast to coast," noted American critic Jerry Hopkins after Elvis Presley's appearance on the "Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey Stage Show" in early 1956. The aforementioned television event marked the beginning of an unprecedented career that would see the truck driver from the American South become the king of rock'n'roll. Six months later, in September 1956, Elvis Presley was a guest on Ed Sullivan's show. Elvis mania was already rampant, with ratings reaching a staggering 82.6%. Even the most modest guardians of morality were unable to stop this upheaval - the cameramen on Sullivan's show were instructed not to show Elvis in long takes, but only in shots above the waist. King's record company, in turn, released seven singles at once to mark the occasion. In addition to the two aforementioned TV appearances, the Elvis 56 DVD documents many other unreleased photos and footage (fun fact: Elvis and Liberace playing guitar together in Las Vegas!), sensitively commented by Levon Helm (drummer for Bob Dylan's former backing band The Band). At live shows, the King of Rock 'n' Roll is accompanied by a trio or quartet. You'll hear classics like "My Way", "Blue Suede Shoes", "Heartbreak Hotel", "Shake Rattle And Roll", "Hound Dog", "Love Me Tender" and "Lawdy Miss Clawdy". The result is an impressive historical documentary from 1956, the year Elvis Presley's international career began.
