This is elvis (THE ACTOR`S)

[Johnny]

The scene where they are coming in through the back of the house is meant to signify them returning from the raquetball court.

Say what now?? The opening scene (which I'm guessing you are talking about, as the previous post you quoted talked about that) shows them stopping the car outside the main entrance, and in the next scene it's like they are coming in through a back door

...and nope, the raquetball court doesn't even come into this equation

If you look when they are getting out of the car the actress playing Ginger is wearing an all in one outfit.When you see them coming from the back of the house she is wearing a t-shirt and shorts.So yes the raquetball court does come into the equation.What else is it supposed to mean?

And if it was meant to be in the equation, the movie would have at least shown a couple of seconds of Elvis playing the game, don't you think? Or had a break in continuity or something?

No, the scene is meant to show him simply coming home through the front door and checking on Lisa, but they used the back way to make it quicker and more interesting ...

despite the issues with accuracy, it was superior to a lot of the other Elvis stuff coming out around then. Anyone remember "Elvis and the Beauty Queen"? Lord have mercy.

The part I liked best about "This Is Elvis" were the quick action concert shots of him with Promised Land playing in the background.

The soundtrack was great also.

Elvis and the beauty queen was something about linda right??

This movie was one of the best movies ever .. it is hilarious!

Anyone taking it as a serious attempt at an Elvis-related movie has missed the point.

Johnny Harra is still live and well. There is video of him performing in 1981 in Memphis while filming it search for Johnny Harra is shame all troubles he got in to he performs maybe once or twice a year but he's been battling weight problems at one time he weighted 450 pounds he's down to about 300 and still loosing from what one of his friends said.

Dana was one of first ETA's/Impersonators perform at Legends in 1991 or 1992 him and his wife or I forgot got murdered really bad with shot gun. It was on America's Most Wanted back in mid 90s when they looking for his killer na they are still looking.

Love to all,

Actually, the video you referring to is not of him in Memphis but it is of him at the Thunderbird Casino in Las Vegas. He stopped the show because a man took a scarf from a woman and they got into it and she got it back. Johnny stops the shows and gives the man one and says "is everybody happy now". He goes on with the show after that.

No its the one on youtube.com look up Johnny Harra there is video from 1981...he even says that he's homeof where his idol is from or something like that. He singin "Call Me Fool," "Heartbreak Hotel," etc. Its 10 minute clip its really great.

Love to all,
Tim Dudley

Ok if you say so. how do you explain the change of outfit by the actress who plays Ginger if that's the case?

I have to agree with Gary on this one. Remember The Colonel had a hand in this movie so there's probably a ton of deleted scenes that they didn't have time for.
He was very old fashioned about stuff like that.
The point the Colonel wanted to make was that, Elvis died for his fans. I see that clear in the editing of the original version.


Just wondering...
Is there a way we could get in touch with Johnny Harra and ask him if they shot any scenes that are not included?
