the theatre and home video versions both have great, clean and clear cuts, and even today with the wonders of youtube (showing all kinds of stuff which shoulda coulda), they are awesome.
what makes me deliver a 7 and not 9 or 10, is the embarrassing "recreations" of fans in an Elvis fervor, and the ridiculous "from the grave" nonsense. plus all the bad singing imitations. bad.
I saw the movie in New York, in 1981, bought the BETAMAX tape, and then the extended version. I know this movie. Could have easily been great...in some ways, just another Elvis film just a tweak or two away from true greatness! :)
