'Love Me Tender' Best
All-Around Mess Of '56
BY HERBERT SIMONS
AND BILL LANDFIELD
Love Me Tender is one of the
best all around messes of the
year. The script must have been
lifted from a kiddie cowboy TV
play, but then the producers did
not expect anybody to come to
see a movie anyway. All the
cast except Elvis, of course, rea-
lize this and make little attempt
at acting. (Richard Egan suc-
ceeds especially well). Elvis, how-
ever, seems to think he's playing
Hamlet and with customary zeal
he gives his all to the "drama."
Fortunately for some of the au-
dience his all is about equivalent
to that of his trusty'nag, which
he amazingly resembles toward
the climax of the show. From his
first entrance, when he is hauled
on by a plough-horse he steadily
but unknowingly hams every
scene. When a thunderous horde
of cowboys nearly shake his
house off the foundation, amazed
Presley remarks "kin thet be
horses ah heared outside?"

The movie is very rewarding,
however, from an anthropological
view point. The audience is fer-
tile ground for the investigation
of primitive behavior, for one
who is so inclined. Even one who
is seeking entertainment, if he is
lucky enough to get in with a
gang of fans, should find them a
great deal funnier than any show
could be. They groan and sigh at
the title, become angry when El-
vis doesn't appear for 20 min-
utes, blaspheme the people laugh-
ing at him, fall off their seats
when he bumps and grinds out
a song, show stark bewilderment
that the girl doesn't love Elvis,
and die when Elvis dies.
Summing it up: Elvis proves to
no one's surprise that he can't
act either.

work is vital; the
opportunities for
you, as a creative
engineer, are correspondingly great.
