Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of 100 black and white photographs with text and captions by Steve Pond. On 1 April 1956 Elvis Presley, 21 years old, came to Hollywood. When "Love Me Tender", his first movie, was released in November of that year, screaming fans mobbed the theatres. Now, over 30 years later, a collection of negatives have been unearthed at the Michael Ochs archives in California. Taken during the filming of "Love Me Tender", these photographs show Elvis as we like to remember him - the "bad boy" of 50s rock and roll. These were the days before Hollywood had exploited him as a screen commodity, the days when, for Elvis, everything seemed possible.
