Elvis - His Best Friend Remembers
Essentially an illustrated interview with longtime Elvis buddy Joe  Esposito,Elvis: His Best Friend Remembersis meant for the hardcore  Elvis fan only. Esposito met Presley in the Army and stayed a member of the  "Memphis Mafia" for the rest of the King's life (and death--his account of  finding Elvis's body is by far the most interesting part of the interview).  Esposito's memories are cozy and sanitized; in his telling, the news that Elvis  gave Tom Jones his first peanut butter sandwich while on vacation in Hawaii  qualifies as a fascinating anecdote. Random footage from newsreels and various  Presley press conferences is cut into the interview, along with a lot of vintage  '60s Polaroids. As befits the bargain-basement ambience, there's not a single  note of Elvis music to be heard.--Robert Horton
