On July 31, 1969, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Elvis Presley staged a triumphant return to the concert stage from which he had been absent for almost a decade. His series of concerts broke all box office records and completely reenergized the career of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. This feature-length concert film crosses the footlights, revealing the legendary singer as a man preparing for an emotional career comeback, the fans who traveled from all over the world for this history-making event...and the electrifying live performance of the man who gave us rock 'n' roll.

Solzy at the Movies

Danielle Solzman

Elvis: That's the Way It Is is a concert film and nothing more than that. If you're expecting to learn anything new about him, you won't find it here. But as far as films showing The King in his element, it doesn't get much better than this.

While it might not hold the same place in the canon as fellow 1970 rockumentaries Woodstock and Gimme Shelter ...or the earlier Monterey Pop!, it's nevertheless a worthy precursor to the unstoppable stream of movies about performers in their element.

Battle Royale With Cheese

Allie Loukas

At the risk of sounding cheesy, I tip my hat to the original filmmaker, the late Denis Sanders, and think I speak for all of us when I say "thank you, thank you very much."

Off-hand spontaneous moments... really capture just how drenched he was in talent and dedicated to his craft.

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

John Beifuss

The film was somewhat radically reworked for a TCM special edition; the original is like an old-school monster movie that teases the audience before finally giving fans the spectacle they crave -- Elvis, tearing down the house in all his jumpsuited glory.
