Love Me Tender (1956) ***
Finally got around to seeing Elvis Presley’s debut film in its entirety and in widescreen, and I think it’s a good deal better than it’s usually given credit for. Richard Egan plays Vance Reno, who is serving in the Civil War and returns home after the war ends to join his family and reunite with his lover (Debra Paget). But a tragedy ensues when it’s learned that while he was away, his young brother Clint (Elvis) fell in love with and married his girl, after hearing that Vance had died. Also factoring into the trouble is that Vance has kept some Union cash which he never delivered to its destination when he found out the war had ended in the interim.This turned out to be a good, solid story with fine performances, especially by Richard Egan. But again, Elvis is amazing as a completely first-time novice actor. He always wanted to be on the big screen from youth, after admiring James Dean, Marlon Brando and Tony Curtis. For a film fan who never had any professional acting training or experience, he’s really quite good as Clint Reno. Though he didn’t want to sing in this film, Presley was already a big recording star so of course there had to be songs in the movie. The title tune is a classic and it’s very emotional as perfromed within the context of the film. I also like the singalong ditty “We’re Gonna Move”, which is performed by Elvis on the front porch “1950s-style” with his family, even though it’s 1865. Other songs include the unremarkable “Let Me” and “Poor Boy”. *** out of ****
Not an Elvis fan, but…
I watched this movie because I was curious about Elvis in movies. I didn’t expect much, but I was happily surprised. So, when I came to look for more information about it, I was even more surprised this movie has such a low rating here. The story is very good, controversial even in many ways. It has no boring moments, the drama is constant. The acting is good for the time. The music is also appropriate for the setting, both Elvis’s songs and the score by Lionel Newman is also very effective and good for the time when it was done. This might be a problem for many, the time. Judging a movie like this by today’s standards is doing it a great injustice. I’ve seen lots of old movies that don’t hold the attention as much as this. Even the acting of Elvis, being this his first movie, and him being a singer not an actor, was quite convincing. I’ve see lots of actors not pull the jealous rage the way he does.
