Frank and Elvis rehearsing at the Fontainebleau.
The Fontainebleau Hotel enjoyed a reputation as the area's top resort hotel, it was a favorite stopover for notables such as Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Sammy Davis, Jr., Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Judy Garland, Milton Berle, Jerry Lewis, Marlene Dietrich, Debbie Reynolds among many others and every president since Dwight D. Eisenhower. The resort's famed crescent shape is set amid 20 lush tropical acres and accented by a magnificent grotto-style pool with cascading waterfalls.
Its classic guest rooms afford spectacular water views and some are equipped with private terraces.
The Hotel has been the setting of films like 'The Bellboy', starring Jerry Lewis, 'Goldfinger', starring Sean Connery as James Bond and 'Scarface' that featured Al Pacino as gangster Tony Montoya. Whitney Houston sang Dolly Parton's 'I Will Always Love You' from the Grand Ballroom in the 1992 movie 'The Bodyguard.' The Grand Ballroom was the biggest in Miami with a stage and capacity of 2200 people. In 1960 the series of four bi-monthly Frank Sinatra specials sponsored by Timex were taped from the stage of the Grand Ballroom and aired on ABC television. The series though, is most remembered for one episode which was Frank's 'Welcome Home, Elvis' party taped only weeks after Elvis' return from the Army in March of 1960.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
