Never can get enough of watching and finding out about "Elvis" and finally after many years watched this mostly black and white 1981 doc "This Is Elvis". And I must say it was well done and informative with actors portraying Elvis and Priscilla in many scenes and hearing the actual voices of Elvis and Priscilla as narrators in many scenes describe moments of the past was touching and memorable. The doc traces his life and early humble start in Mississippi to his rise and influence with music before his move to Memphis after fame. Vintage personal footage is shown from his homes, and concerts, it's like you got to know the King on a personal level. Also highlighted is his appearances on the Ed Sullivan show and how the King's dance moves caused a stir. And his 1968 comeback special and Vegas tour is well documented along with his heartbreak telling of his divorce from Priscilla, all of this before his untimely death in 1977. Which in the end the film gives a go away tribute it touches your emotions. Overall a well life bio like doc that is a must see for any "Elvis" fan.
