The final years of Elvis Presley's life have been described by many who were not a part of his inner circle. His painful struggles with drug addiction and obesity have been repeatedly parodied, nearly always by those with little regard for Presley's private pain. During this video, the fifth in a six-tape set, five of Presley's former employees and confidants sit down and share their memories of his last years. Often referred to as the "Memphis Mafia," these men spent countless hours at Graceland with Presley, providing him with the sense of family he kept craving after his divorce and his mother's death. The stories they tell touch on the role Colonel Tom Parker played in Presley's life, drug use at Graceland, and Presley's ongoing dreams about keeping his career alive. ~ Elizabeth Smith, All Movie Guide


How good is this movie??? Not a fan of the memphis mafia butl will give everything a try once.

Good or Bad, if it is really the truth...
Truth is what we get when all the BS walks out. Even if there are things we really don't like that Elvis did, or they say he did, it doesn't take away from how we feel about him as The Greatest Entertainer Ever. He was human like us and imperfect. That's what makes him even more of SuperStar, he rose like a Phoenix from the ashes. No matter what bad has been said, Elvis still shines as the brightest star does at night.

Let them talk, they are older now and I believe will be kinder to his memory. They too will come face to face with the Almighty Judge.

If you are asking if its worth getting then the answer to me anyways is YES.

I love watching documentaries about Elvis, and like what they say or not, its enjoyable to watch, especially the good times they talk about like the Hollywood years the parties, and all that kind of stuff. I would get it if you haven't already !

Agreed about marty. He seem's to have alot of hate inside of him for reasons l don't know, but its really boring hearing some complain so much. Red I really enjoy out the whole bunch of them for the simple reason he been staying out and doing his own thing. I really enjoyed that movie he was in called glory days as something like that??.
