I have an autograph from at least one person in every Elvis movie....
I needn't have bothered with all this though, I could have just posted my Elvis autograph and that statement would still stand.

Congrats !

As for Elvis, it's not that easy, I'm afraid !

To qualify, you need a photo, signed by him, of every role he appeared as !

That means two for Kissin' Cousins - but we'll let you off This is Elvis...

Oh you don't need to let me off THIS IS ELVIS...
I have Joe Esposito's autograph, he's in that movie playing himself.

I have Joe Esposito's autograph (it came with a book) - you swap for Elvis' autograph we will then be very even, Oh, I can throw in Larry's too, lol

Plus a really high up dressage trainer, you will have three, lol

Maybe this should be under "Elvis Trivia" but "Love Me Tender" is the only movie (besides the documentaries) that Elvis played an historical real life character. The real Reno Brothers were a gang of train robbers from Indiana. But Clint, the oldest brother, not the youngest was know as "Honest Clint" because he was not involved. The names of the other brothers did not match the movie character names. For more information Google "Reno Gang".

Thank you for the details, Ed.

A contemporary review of Love Me Tender.

Kinda comes across that the unnamed reviewer doesn't care for Elvis much !

and we don't care for the unnamed reviewer. Wouldn't it be great to get hold of some of those people who gave him bad reviews, who unjustly criticised him, back at the beginning, and get their thoughts today?
