That doc was made in the early 70s to get him out of a contract. It was rather slapdash and meant to cash in on the limelight of the style that Woodstock brought to cinemas earlier in the year.
But, Presley didn't want to make it and they had to fight to keep the Sweet Inspirations featured in the movie.
Elvis's team only ended up celebrating the movie, because they could use it as a feature film promo reel for his Vegas shows.
It ended up boosting tourism to Vegas to a point where it helped start the process of getting rid of the mob and make it more into a tourist trap.
I love talking about this shit and never know how to approach it casually.
