The movies of Elvis Presley have always been a great source of family entertainment that can appeal to people of all ages. What sets his films apart from that of other stars from that same era is that they were designed to be fun for everybody to enjoy. In 2004, Warner Home Video released a DVD boxed set of 6 of his films together, called "The Signature Collection". The 6 films were originally released to movie theaters from 1957 to 1968. The titles included represent a unique variety of movie-making. Films in this set are; "Jailhouse Rock", considered by many people to be the qunitessential Elvis movie, with Presley as Vince Everett, a former convict turned singer who becomes a big star. "It Happened At The World's Fair" features Elvis as Mike Edwards, an out-of-work pilot who is forced to look after an abandoned girl at the Seattle World's Fair. "Viva Las Vegas" stars Elvis with co-star Ann-Margaret in a tale of songs, gambling and high stakes racing set in the Nevada tourist town. "Harum Scarum", with Elvis as American movie star Johnny Tyrone who is abducted by a ruthless crime lord in the middle East. "Spinout" stars Elvis as Mike McCoy, the leader of a swinging rhythm combo who is being pursued by 3 lovely ladies all trying to vie for his attention. "Speedway", with Elvis co-starring with Nancy Sinatra in a story of big wins on the racing circuit, only to having to owe it to Uncle Sam. The films of Elvis Presley are a real treat for everyone; and "The Signature Collection" presents 6 reasons why this set is a lot of fun.Read full review
6 great old Elvis movies from the 50ties and 60ties. These movies are interesting for Elvis-a-holics and vintage-movie-fans, and (of course!) the storys and dialoges seem a little cheesy in our days, but what the heck. Everything is too much fun and gave me hours of careless DVD viewing. The only (very cheap!!!) thing on this item is the packing of the DVDs. 4 of the movies are packed in standard dvd boxes, 2 of the movies are packed in digipak boxes. The digipak boxes are too big to fit the mainbox, which makes the whole box set look very cheap. That's why I give this DVD Box Set only 4 stars instead of 5. Cheerio, Dan.
The movies were in new condition and as enjoyable to watch as they were when they first came out . It was fun watching movies that were made strictly for entertainment . They probably wouldn't get two thumbs up from the critics or a high score on the Rotten Tomato review but they are a BLAST to watch .
