Did You Know?

The film was originally intended to be a straight acting role for Presley, but due to the popularity of the single Love Me Tender and Colonel Tom Parker's desire to promote Presley's films with a soundtrack and vice versa, four songs were added to the film.Instead of a full long-playing album soundtrack, for Love Me Tender the four songs appearing in the film were released as an extended-play, seven-inch 45 RPM record on RCA Records, Love Me Tender, catalog EPA 4006, during November 1956. It peaked at #9 on Top Pop Albums chart with sales of over 600,000, as well as making it to #35 on the singles chart.

The film reaches its tragic conclusion with a gunfight between the two Reno brothers, ironically ending with Clint's murder. Elvis Presley: Clint Reno Richard Egan: Vance Reno Debra Paget: Cathy Reno Robert Middleton: Mr.Siringo William Campbell: Brett Reno Neville Brand: Mike Gavin Mildred Dunnock: Martha Reno Russ Conway: Ed GaltBefore success as a singer Presley had shown interest in becoming an actor. He had worked as a cinema usher in his youth and would often watch his screen idols James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Tony Curtis during shifts, studying their acting and learning lines from their movies. Presley had also taken part in Shakespearian plays during English class in school, and would often be cast in the lead roles. When he first met his future manager, Colonel Tom Parker, he expressed an interest in the movies and his desire to be an actor.In interviews during his rise to fame, Presley would often talk about his hopes of attending somewhere like the Actors Studio. He also insisted that he would not like to sing in any of his movies because he wished to be taken seriously as a film star. However, Parker had a plan to cross-promote Presley's films with his music and this led to soundtracks being as important, if not more important, as the scripts.Presley screen-tested for Hal Wallis on March 26, 1956 at Paramount Studios.Guralnick/Jorgensen, Elvis:Day by Day, p.67 The test lasted three days and included Presley performing two scenes from The Rainmaker, and lip-syncing to Blue Suede Shoes. Wallis' partner, Joe Hazen, commented: "As a straight actor, the guy has great potentialities."On April 2, Wallis offered Presley a contract for one motion picture, with options on six more. The contract was finalized on April 25, and also stipulated that Presley was free to make at least one picture a year for other studios. On April 10, Presley confidently announced during a radio interview that his debut feature would be The Rainmaker with Burt Lancaster and Katharine Hepburn.Guralnick/Jorgensen, Elvis:Day by Day, p.68 However, despite this belief, and due to Wallis being unable to find a project "good enough for the debut of Elvis Presley", he was loaned out to 20th Century Fox on August 13 and began work on Love Me Tender on August 22.Guralnick/Jorgensen, Elvis:Day by Day, p.82Presley's role had originally been turned down by both Jeffrey Hunter and Robert Wagner because the part was too small, but when Presley signed up to the picture the role was expanded to take advantage of his current popularity. A somewhat more realistic film telling the story of the Reno Brothers, Rage at Dawn starring Randolph Scott, had been released by RKO Radio Pictures only the year before. According to Presley's then girlfriend, June Juanico, he was reluctant to take the role after realizing that his character died at the end, but he was persuaded to do it after she told him that the characters audiences were most likely to remember were the ones who had a tragic fate.Presley arrived for filming with all of his lines learned, as well as the lines for all the other parts. He found filming quite tasking, once commenting to a friend that he had spent a whole day "behind a team of mules".Guralnick/Jorgensen, p.83 In little more than a month Presley had recorded all the songs for the film and had finished filming his scenes.Guralnick/Jorgensen, p.84When Presley appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show during a break in filming the movie, on September 9, he performed Love Me Tender for the first time. Two weeks later RCA confirmed that advanced sales of the single had resulted in it going Gold before even being released—an industry first.Test screenings of the film resulted in people being upset at the death of Presley's character.

The family is mistakenly informed that one of the brothers, Vance, has been killed on the battlefield.

The disc contains the movie in its original widescreen letterbox format, plus audio commentary by noted Elvis historian, and Memphis Mafia member, Jerry Schilling.

When his brother Vance comes back from the war, he finds that his old girlfriend, Cathy, has married Clint.

The four EP soundtrack songs were recorded at Fox's Stage One in Hollywood, at three sessions in August 24, September 4, and October 1, 1956.The title song had already been released as a single on September 28, 1956, and went to #1 on the singles chart.
