Elvis Presley - That's the Way It is

Focusing on the overweight, older Elvis that many people would rather forget, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS is nonetheless a compelling, fascinating, and highly amusing musical documentary. Simultaneously celebrating and poking good-natured fun at the Las Vegas era of Elvis's career, director Denis Sanders often just sits back and lets the performances speak for themselves. The film includes the King preparing offstage for his 1970 tour and culminates in his opening night performance in Vegas. The film includes more than 30 of the King's fabulous songs.
