Elvis Has Been Spotted Again

There is one man in the entertainment world that has reached more people then anyone else in existence. This entertainment mogul has not be alive for quite a few years, although others will tell you quite the opposite. The fact is, Elvis Presley has been making headlines since he first hit the entertainment world in the 1950`s and even today, a half a century later, the man is still showing up everywhere.

Only a few months into its initial release, the acclaimed DVD of long-lost color home movies of Elvis Presley at The Seattle World?s fair in 1962 has begun to make quite a stir in national and international press, web sites and fan response. Articles about the rare one-of-a-kind color movies of Elvis Presley have appeared in newspapers across the country and on Elvis Presley web sites in The United States, Great Britain, Italy, Australia, Japan, Russia and Poland.

On March 16th, in an internationally released review by one of the world?s largest Elvis fan sites, the prestigious Elvis Information Network (EIN) , they refer to the DVD footage of Elvis behind the scenes as being of ?... important historical significance? and calls it ?... an absorbing documentary account of not only Elvis, but the Seattle World?s Fair itself". ?Elvis Presley At The Seattle World?s Fair? is the brainchild of Emmy winning Hollywood television producer Albert Fisher who, back in 1962, was TV and Movie coordinator for the World?s Fair in Seattle, Washington.

At the time, part of his job was to handle all of the logistical needs for Elvis and the MGM motion picture crew while they shot on location at The World?s Fair. As a result, Fisher had full behind-the-scenes access to every aspect of Elvis Presley?s entourage, friends, co-stars and activities. While doing his job, Fisher also had the foresight to shoot color 8 millimeter home movies of the production as well as still photographs. He also served as Technical Advisor on the film, a screen credit which Elvis?s manager, Colonel Tom Parker eventually took for himself.
