Summary: "In this first complete account of Elvis Presleys celluloid career, David Bret considers the 33 films, TV appearances, biopics, retrospectives and documentaries that remain as testimony to the compelling and mysterious persona of The King. The bestselling author David Bret traces the development of Presley's film career and recounts the on-set cat fights with co-stars and studio personnel. He unearths the truth about the powerful hold exercised over Elvis by 'Colonel' Tom Parker, which revolved around Parker preventing a leak about Presley's relationship with another man from going public and then using this knowledge as a persistant threat to ensure his protege's loyalty. Bret explores and hotly disputes the controversial allegations, levelled by Presley's step-family, that he had sex with his mother, raped his wife, held debauched, drug fuelled parties with groupies and eventually committed suicide. Above all, the author praises the nature and talent of the man who was - and still is - the supreme authority on rock'n'roll and romance. " -- BOOK JACKET

Summary: Kay Dickson looks at the failed relationship between some films and their musical scores; films such as Italian horror movies, or those of Elvis Presley, or Madonna . She argues that these failures , between the film and music businesses point to a larger rift between capital and labour, in the culture industry, and the inability of the music industry to properly organise itself.
