Elvis Presley chats with leading lady, Leticia Roman, 19, on the set of 'G.I. Blues' at Paramount Studio in Hollywood May 26, 1960. The film was Presley's first since his release from the Army, and the first ever for Miss Roman, an import from Italy. One Hollywood producer was already pegging her as another Lollobrigida.

New York Times published an article about this meeting on June 8th :
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 7 -- European and Hollywood royalty met today and neither group was fazed.
In the Hollywood phase of their journey the Princesses saw two movies being filmed at Paramount and met
Shirley MacLaine, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley and Juliet Prowse.
It has also been reported that the scandinavian princesses visited Dean Martin's birthday party on the set ...

Hal Wallis : Going into the army certainly changed Elvis,he had become more mature because being in the army was unlike anything he'd known before . His sense of humour also developed along with his career as a soldier. The sideburns went , too, and he looked tougher, harder and leaner, and he just couldn't wait to get back to filming either. To begin with, Elvis was nervous that his two-year lay-off away from the cameras might mean he would have to start learning to act all over again, but in fact he slipped straight into it,though I guess it helped making a picture like 'G.I. Blues' which reflected his time in the army.

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.
