| | | | "Elvis Films FAQ"
All That’s Left to Know About the King of Rock ’n’ Roll in Hollywood by Paul Simpson
The young Elvis Presley who was inspired by the sounds of blues singer Arthur Crudup is the same Elvis who, as a boy, watched and studied films starring Humphrey Bogart, Tony Curtis, Marlon Brando, and James Dean. All his life, he wanted to be an actor, but by the time he arrived in Hollywood, things were changing. In an age when many actors were free agents, selecting their own roles, Elvis was locked into a multi-picture contract with no approval of songs, scripts, or co-stars. The actors who inspired him, Brando and Dean, helped wreck the old Hollywood studio system. Elvis was a victim of Hollywood’s painful rebirth. The motion picture aspect of his phenomenal career is often misunderstood or overshadowed by his musical success, but if Elvis had not wanted to be a movie star, he would never have single-handedly revolutionized popular culture.
