# BEST QUALITY ON YOUTUBE!!! # A scene from 1979's "Elvis the Movie" starring Kurt Russell. It was made 2 years after Elvis died, and 2 years before the other major Elvis biography "This Is Elvis" hit the cinemas.
Kurt did an amazing job portraying the King in this- a really, really great performance throughout the whole movie.
Vocals were overdubbed by Elvis soundalike Ronnie McDowell.
It was directed by none other than Horror supremo John Carpenter.
If Kurt wasn't so friggin famous he would look just like Elvis but instead he just looks like Kurt. Does that make sense? lol

Kurt is wearing the very same jumpsuit (not the belt) Elvis wore at the Garden in '72. It's since gone to a private collector.

The voice is what makes it. It's not his voice and it's not Elvis' voice either. It is Ronnie Mcdowell, the greatest imitator of Elvis' voice. Together they are VERY close to Elvis. Ronnie lMcdowell loved Elvis more than anyone, God bless them both.

THIS MOVIE ROCKED. I REMEMBER WATCHING IT ON TV. I LOVED ELVIS AND THOUGHT KURT RUSSELL WAS AN AWESOME CHOICE. BRINGS BACK NICE CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.
