Curiosidades
At the time of its release, the film included lots of very rare and never-before-seen footage of Elvis Presley.

Pifias
When Elvis pulls up to the house in the beginning, his girlfriend gets out of the car wearing a maroon pantsuit. When he opens the door and they enter the house, she is wearing blue shorts and a blue workout suit jacket. This was due to scenes that were not used in the film, as this scene also shows Elvis going in the front door; then the next scene shows him coming through Graceland from the back entrance, passing the front door from the inside before heading upstairs. This can be explained by noting Elvis's last hours. He came home, played racquetball in the racquetball building before entering Graceland from the rear entrance and then retreating to his room. This also explains the different clothes that the Ginger Alden character wears.

Citas
Pauline Nicholson: [Elvis and Ginger prepare to go upstairs to his bedroom, passing the kitchen doorway, where Pauline is seated at the table] Mr. P, can I get you some sandwiches?
Elvis at 42: [waves] That'd be fine, Pauline.

Créditos adicionales
Certain sequences in this film were recreated.

Versiones alternativas
Home video and some cable TV versions run 143 minutes and contain additional material not in theatrical release, such as censored footage from Elvis' 1968 comeback special, and an additional number from his final concert. It does, however, delete "Are You Lonesome Tonight".

Odd Docu-Something Hybrid

"This is Elvis" is one of the oddest "documentaries" I've ever seen. Using extensive archival footage, mixed with recreations shot to look like archival footage, the film looks at the rise of fall of Elvis.

The problem is that the recreation footage comes off as bad TV movie of the week, standing in stark contrast to the original, compelling material presented in the piece.

The success of "This is Elvis" was the impetus behind the current style of historical documentaries that attempt to recreate drama where no original footage exists to illustrate it. In that sense, "This is Elvis" looks a bit embarrassing at times, since it doesn't have the slickness of more contemporary "docu-drama-documentaries" in the genre.

What I'm waiting for is an Elvis documentary done with the taste and skillfullness of the "Beatles: Anthology" mini-series aired on ABC.
