although kris kristofferson be good in this role and who wouldn not want to see elvis pressly instead . with the drug addiction and the fall from supreme fame may have scar away elvis agent to be apart of the movie and it be a mistake . this would have be a perfect movie for elvis . even though the soundtrack be far from terrific and paul williams and barbra streisand do a decent job in create an original soundtrack for this period piece or musical . somewhat of a love story and this be more of a drama about the fall from grace and the gift of redemption . like be most tragedy and the hero of the story be die . also and gary busey be once again perfect in a not so perfect role .
