One of Elvis Presley best movies. Mixed with a theme, dancing and some of Elvis Preleys great song.I own most of Elvis Presley's movies and Love me Tender is one of my favorites.Here's the alpha point of Elvis Presley's film career, the introduction of the raw-boned Mississippi boy into Hollywood pictures. E.P. takes a supporting role, and his entrance is delayed for nearly 20 minutes: kid brother to returning Civil War soldier Richard Egan, his character marries Egan's sweetheart Debra Paget when Egan is presumed dead. It's a chance for Elvis, his face still trembling with baby fat, to emote dramatically and finish tragically, both of which he does passably well. A serviceable Western, the film shamelessly shoehorns four Presley tunes into two sequences: E.P. crooning on mama's porch, and performing at a country fair (where starchy locals don't seem disturbed at the boy's gyrating hips and happy feet). All in all, a shrewd way to put a foot in Hollywood's doorway, and, of course, one of the last Presley movies to feel like a real film and not a vehicle for the King.Read full review

Love Me Tender was Elvis's first movie. He did a real good acting job for his first role. This movie is one of my favorite Elvis movies because he gets to play a dramatic role. He didn't get to do that very often. I had a hard time finding this dvd. I could't find it in the stores so I went to ebay. There it was. Regards mdhmf3
Brought back good memories. I love this movie fun to watch.
