Being a HUGE Elvis fan, I watched this movie years ago and came back to it. This set features extra features not shown in the original. If you want to expand your love of and knowledge of Elvis, this is the set to get. Gives footage from Aug 16 and how the public reacted to Elvis passing. Shows the love people everywhere have for the extraordinary, talented soul. You will see that Elvis was the same from the beginning,a true blessing to everyone who came into contact with him. I HIGHLY recommend adding this DVD set to your collection to relive the memories again & again and introduce to a new generation. This set is one of the better that sheds a positive light on Elvis. Don't miss this one!!
As Stated Above, "MANY Elvis Performance Scenes", From MANY Various Elvis Films, Featuring MOSTLY Mid-Fifties To Early Sixties Films, In MY Oponion The BEST Elvis Films BEFORE Elvis Was Forced By Col. Tom Parker's 'Carney' Style Management To Make The SAME, Script-Wise, ONLY Difference Being TITLE And SCENARIO Films !!!! VERY SURPRISINGLY, However, Parker, (NO Col., ONLY An ILLEGAL Dutch Immigrant; READ Peter Guralnick's 'The UNMAKING Of ELVIS PRESLEY', Where Guralnick DIRECTLY Attributes Elvis' VERY SAD/EARLY Demise To Parker!!!), Continuing On NOW Where I Stated Parker "VERY SURPRISINGLY......", Acted As 'Technical Advisor' On This DVD, Actually Did A GOOD Job. This Is NOT ACTUALLY Surprising, However, Due To Parker's FORCING Elvis To 'Be Joined At THe Hip' Because Of ALL The 'Loyalty' CRAP Parker CONTINUNOUSLY SLUNG At Elvis !!! Again, READ Peter Gurlnick's Book Mentioned Above; This Is A GREAT Read Where Guralnick Conducted EXTENSIVE Reaearch Into EVERY Aspect Of Elvis' Life. NO Bullshit Here In THIS Book; SAME Applies To Gurlnick's FIRST Book On Elvis, "Last Train To Memphis; The Rise Of Elvis Presley". Another GREAT Read! Find Out For Yourself !!!! READ Them BOTH! (I In NO WAY Collect ANYTYPE Of 'Consideration' Regarding My Statements On BOTH Books Mentioned In THIS Review!) GOD BLESS YOU And 'THE KING'!!!!Read full review
I enjoyed this documentary movie "This Is Elvis" in the theaters when it came out years ago and am glad to have a copy of it. The second disc, the expanded version, in the set added a lot of material that was not in the movie theater version. Along with the many clips of actual footage of Elvis Presley there are some added scenes using actors to recreate various stages of his life to complete his story.

"This Is Elvis" was released in 1981. It was the first movie done some 4 years after his death. A lot of early footage, plus film clips, great music and just plain Elvis! The Special Edition is great in that there are 2 DVD's in this collection. The version released in 1981 and a newer version with scenes not seen before, including a rather "risque" edition of an Elvis song done in a brothel. OK, we knew he wasn't innocent. Buy all means, get the Special Edition (2007) version. You also get footage from his final TV special that is rare and hard to find today.
Nice Dvd, New information about Elvis performances, or never seen before, those guys had a lot of fun .
