to capture footage for an upcoming concert film. The
crew shot not only Elvis performing on stage, but
footage of Elvis in the studio, in rehearsals and having
fun backstage with friends. “Elvis: That’s The Way It
Is” was released in theatres nationwide in November
1970 and has since become a favorite among fans.
