ElvisMovies III

Since YouTube is accepting files up to 1 GB and has a widescreen player, I've created the latest edition of "ElvisMovies", my mashups of Elvis Presley musical numbers, in widescreen and HD. The original images were culled from the Tivo'd films taken from Turner Classic Movies during the anniversary Elvis Marathon in 2007. Only now have I downloaded the files into my computer from the Tivo, and I completely created ElvisMovies III on Dec. 6, 2008.

Both ElvisMovies and ElvisMovies 2 are popular on YouTube. ElvisMovies III is bigger and better, including more popular songs from a few of my favorite ElvisMovies.

As I say on my website, Elvis made 33 movies, but they are really only one movie, and when cobbled together, give a greater appreciation that in fact, the performances in these films, largely derided and criticized, even by some of his fans, when they were released, (three times a year) remain our legacy of this great performer, and besides his recordings and some early kinescopes from TV, are the definitive widescreen musical performances by which we remember him.

Hooray Elvis Presley. Hooray ElvisMovies III.

I guess I should mention at the outset that although I mastered the file in High Definition, the original "master files" are Tivo'd from TCM on DirecTV, and TCM does not broadcast in HiDef (yet). So the picture quality does suffer somewhat on full screen, but I'm glad I can at least scale the widescreen image up so it can be seen better.

I loved it, thanks for sending it to me! Elvis was wonderful in the movies.
