Second of six interview sessions with the core-members of Elvis Presley's team of minders, known as the Memphis Mafia.

Elvis Presley's acting career lasted from 1956 to 1969, leaving a legacy of 31 films and soundtracks. This one-hour documentary takes you back in time to Elvis's Hollywood days as you overhear five of his close friends remember his off-camera shenanigans, his encounters with Hollywood legends, and his friendships with his leading women. Wild in Hollywood is the third tape in the six-tape set All the King's Men. And just as with the other volumes, these stories have an added sense of honest charm as the entire dialogue among the longtime Elvis buddies is recorded in a makeshift soundstage consisting of a couple of leather couches and walls lined with Elvis movie posters.

After Elvis's less-than-triumphant stab at Hollywood, he returned to his first love--music. The King Comes Back enables the viewer to be a fly on the wall as five of his confidantes recap Elvis's life in the late 1960s through the early 1970s in a lo-fi, improvised living room setting. The stories run from the trivial (discussing Elvis's stress-related nosebleeds) to major (introducing Elvis--"the Happy Pappy"--to his daughter Lisa Marie) and take you from Hawaii to Memphis to Vegas. Just as in the other tapes in the six-tape set All the King's Men, you are given a full view of his life for this time period, only to look forward to the next chapter.

Elvis: All the King's Men, Collapse of the Kingdom--the title of this video, the fifth installment in a six-tape set, says it all. You witness the deterioration of Elvis's health and career as he sinks deeper and deeper into prescription-drug use and crumbles under the forces of the controlling people surrounding him. The once fit, precocious heartthrob is reduced to a bloated, secluded has-been. Five of his close confidants recount their final years with the King and the end of an era in an informal impromptu chat session. It is a sad tale that leaves the viewer humbled and longing for the days of old when the King ruled rock & roll.

The Legend Lives On, the final installment in the All the King's Men series, covers Elvis's death while recalling stories of Elvis's years in the spotlight. The narrators, five longtime friends and traveling companions, recount the good and bad times as they mourn the loss of the King. They share never-before-seen home-movie footage from his 1968 Hawaiian vacation, as well as the role that Elvis and his memory has played in their everyday life. All in all, this tape offers the viewer commentary on the life and death of the King from a different, unofficial point of view.
