I am just watching Elvis Presley documentary, "Elvis Presley The Searcher. I am sure you all will have seen it or now about it. It has some great old film. I am just up to The Louisiana Hayride era.

I've watched it only once and not in one sitting: it's too slow for my taste. :oops:

I've never owned it or watched it !

Put off by negative reviews, things like 4:3 ratio footage with the top &/or bottom cut off to make 16:9 etc.

Parts of it are OK, other parts dragged on (for me). Some great short clips of footage though (can only rewatch portions for these), here and there.
Glad to see Elvis getting some respect for a change, but overall, it was a bit too syrupy for my tastes (even bordering on worship, at times).
