El Cortez - BLU-RAY

Just two years after Elvis Presley died, Kurt Russell brought him back to life in the original biopic about the King of Rock 'n' Roll. Broadcast on ABC in 1979, Elvis marked the first time director John Carpenter would work together in what would become a legendary pairing in film history (Escape From New York, The Thing, Big Trouble In Little China, The Thing and Escape From L.A.). Tracing Presley's life from his impoverished childhood to his meteoric rise to stardom to his triumphant conquering of Las Vegas, Elvis features Shelley Winters (Gladys Presley), Season Hubley (Priscilla Presley), Bing Russell (Kurt's real-life father as Vernon Presley), Pat Hingle (Colonel Tom Parker), Joe Mantegna (InchMemphis MafiaInch member Joe Esposito) and Ed Begley Jr. (drummer D.J. Fontana) in an all-star supporting cast for an effort that garnered numarous Emmy® nominations including Outstanding Lead Actor for Russell.

For East L.A. mechanic Rico (Draco Rosa), the only relief from his grind came from his nights owning the floor at the local salsa club. While he's got his eyes on the venue's dance contest crown for himself and girlfriend Vicki (Angela Alvarado), club owner Luna (Miranda Garrison) has her eyes on him... will she push him to a heartbreaking choice? InchDirty DancingInch choreographer Kenny Ortega puts the players through the sizzling Latin paces in this song-filled drama; Boaz Davidson directs. 97 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
