Hello,

From a transfer / widescreen enhanced point of view, which of Mr. Presley's movies have received good treatment and bad treatment?

Any titles, in particular, to avoid?

Thanks!

Paul

The Paramount releases range from good to spectacular. I think that the best looking transfer is probably "King Creole", but you would be happy with any of them.

The Fox releases are also quite good.

The MGM/UA releases are all over the map, but I wouldn't consider any of them to be horrible. However, "Viva Las Vegas", "Clambake", and "Follow That Dream" are all non-anamorphic older transfers.

Viva Las Vegas is in serious need of a 5.1 stereo soundtrack and an S.E. treatment. A commentary by Ann-Margret is a must!

Clambake is out in an anamorphic transfer in R2: it's much better than the R1 version.
