This is a nice way to do a documentary. However, a lot of the information in this movie seems too far out there to be taken seriously. His love for Captain Marvel Jr. comics is well known, the visit to President Nixon and his collection of law enforcement badges are also know. But there is much that wasn't covered.
The last TV special Elvis did was supposed to be his third TV special and was to be on CBS. But Elvis was so far gone from drug use that CBS cancelled the show but later released clips for documentaries and also the sound-track to recoup some of the lost investment.
Some of the things they got wrong was that the emergency number 9-1-1 wasn't around until years later. Could have been an oversight or just another term for "an ambulance," much like a "Kleenex" is the term for any brand of facial tissue.
After his death, why would Elvis continue to sport his sideburns years later? If he actually worked for the FBI, and was trying not to attract attention, I would think that he would do more to change his looks. (shaved head, beard, hair dye, etc....)
Celeste Yarnall had been sitting in the room during the entire interview... and he didn't recognize her???
And the big question: If Elvis was found alive and IS staging a come-back, why block his face?
Comedy? The only thing that was even remotely funny was the box of documents that still had wet ink when the UPS guy delivered them. I wouldn't categorize this movie as Comedy, but rather "Speculative."
I did like the "mocumentary" as it gave a lot of insight to his life prior to August 16, 1977. And though Vegas was run by mobsters back then and it's true that Col Tom was a compulsive, and poor, gambler, I'm still skeptical of Elvis' role in the DEA and that he the Memphis Mafia setting up drug deals to help capture criminals.
But watch it and see what you think...
