Released 1998
Stars Harvey Keitel, Johnathon Schaech, and Bridget Fonda
Directed by David Winkler

A man haunted by the death of his wife a year earlier picks up a hitchhiker who is more trouble than he is worth. He is a freeloader without money and though he does not look the part he claims to be Elvis Presley. This is a warm film along the lines of MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET. Not much resemblance to Presley, but perhaps that works. That Keitel is good will come as little surprise. Bridget Fonda pulls off a real tour de force as a Marilyn Monroe impressionist, even doing her own singing impression of Monroe. Priscilla Presley is executive producer, though her contribution was mostly after production started. She checked the script for accuracy and arranged for shooting at Graceland. - Nice regional photography. Keitel does not do his own singing. - Definitely an enjoyable film even for people who are not Elvis fans (which includes me).
