Movie Reviews of Elvis Presley - Ed Sullivan Shows

Movie Review: Pieces of Rock and Roll History!
Summary: 5 Stars

These appearances were legendary and solidified Elvis' hold on American popular culture. Ed Sullivan originally wanted nothing to do with Elvis, considering him to be too vulgar for TV audiences. However, all that changed when Steve Allen booked Elvis on his show and handily beat Sullivan in the ratings. Then Sullivan booked for three appearances, and the rest was history as the saying goes. This DVD includes all three of Elvis' appearances on Sullivan's show, which set records for ratings at the time. During his last appearance, Elvis was shot only from the waste up due to complaints about the suggestive nature of his dancing during the first two performances (my how things have changed). Elvis is at his creative peak for these performances and it is easy to see why he took the nation (and world) by storm in 1956. Performances like these firmly established him as the King of Rock and Roll. This DVD is a must for fans of Elvis and students of pop culture.

Summary of Elvis Presley - Ed Sullivan Shows

Share the excitement of Elvis Presley's earth shattering introduction to the nation in these three unforgettable episodes from The Ed Sullivan Show, now on DVD for the first time ever, and experience for yourself why Elvis became the legendary King of Rock and Roll! Appearing on the show Sept. 9, 1956, Elvis sent shock waves through a repressed nation with his soulful singing, wild hip gyrations and raw energy, attracting a record-breaking TV audience of more than 60 million people. Presley returned on Oct. 28, 1956, continuing to provoke ecstatic screams with hits such as "Don't Be Cruel," "Love Me Tender" and "Hound Dog." In fact, these exhilarating performances were so explosive that Elvis was filmed above the waist during his final Sullivan show appearance on January 6, 1957.
