Film Evaluation

You can name Col. Tom Parker a cheat or a con man.

However in fact, he was a full-blooded carny man. He minimize his money-making enamel in a carnival sideshow, and he had an unerring intuition for what would entice the general public to loosen their purse strings.

By the point Parker first laid his eyes on a mop-haired child named Elvis Presley, he had already moved into the country-music administration biz. However his present guitar-plucking purchasers have been dropped like a sizzling rock after the fake colonel laid eyes on that skinny, leg-shaking boy.

Certainly, Elvis virtually smoldered with dark-haired beauty; the vocal oomph of a Black R&B singer; and the uncooked, hormonal attraction of each schoolgirl’s darkest fantasies. On high of all that, he was actually simply an inexperienced and nervous momma’s boy. And that made him a completely good challenge for Col. Tom Parker.

Who is aware of, carny man Col. Tom Parker may even put collectively the largest sideshow within the land.
