ELVIS on HBO . . . . Austin Butler does a commendable job of capturing
the walk and the stage moves of Elvis Presley,and does a equally good job
of capturing his speaking voice and singing style. Tom Hanks takes a turn
from usually playing noble characters and excels at making Colonel Tom Parker
despicable as Elvis' manager. There are a number of theories about the
factors that led to Elvis' fall from grace and eventual death, among them
that his treatment by Parker were the cause. The movie seems to make a good
case for that theory. FOUR STARS.
