Elvis Presley Movie:

Change of Habit [Region 2] Reviews:
Change of Habit Review
2009-06-17 - Actually, I think the movie is as much about Elvis' being a doctor in the ghetto as the spiritual struggle that the nuns have to face, especially once they're out of the habit. I mean, there they were, locked up nice and cozy in the convent and because of the Church's project to service the poor, must remove the habit and "fit in" society. Sister Irene particularly was struggling had finally left the religious life. At the end, Sister Michelle had to decide to get married or stay in the convent and take her final vows.

Since Elvis, in real life, was very religious I'm a bit disappointed he didn't at least explore converting to Catholicism.



It Brings Brought Back Long Lost Memories...
2009-06-07 - Yes, yes, I know, "why" would I like seeing nuns in their old habits? Right?! Well, Not many in today's world see nuns at all! Thanks to Vatacan II and the enemy within the church! *(Not unlike the creeping enemies within our own government!) This movie, like all movies with Elvis was ok, but a little corny. I mean I saw him in "Blue Hawaii", when it first came out and I was all alone in a huge theatre. Not because the movie was bad, but because I went early on a weekday when everyone was at work and I was just a kid. It cost me a whole half dollar! *(50 Cents!!!) That was a lot back then, especially to a kid! I used to play hookey from school and hide under our steps after buying potato chips, ice-cream, chocolate milk and some candy, all for about 25 cents!!! Maybe a little more than that, but not much! The truant officer never found me! lol Times were great, back then! At least to a child. I had no clue we were on the brink of distruction, bought on by the election of the Kennedy clan, who are the ones who really distroyed America. *(Ted with his "1965 NEW Immigration policy" that opened the flood gates to the terd-3rd world and open border fiasco we see today!!!) Anyway, this movie was a reminder of hippie-liberal times that turned the nation away from traditional values to the new anything goes era. It's nice to see Mary young again too! Who ever would have thought she'd be on Elvis' hot babe list?!! I miss the nuns of yesteryear in their habits, especially the ones at St Anthony's and the large hats of St Vincent de Paul nuns. Now you have slave women walking around in burkas all over the place instead!!! Not Christian nuns! The world's upsidedown! Thanks a lot, brain dead Ted! The murderer and blood sucking leech of the Senate that road into politics on the coattails of death and prospered much ever since! This movie brings back times of chaos and soul searching. Finding out who we were and changing times of very selfish people. We could have done without the songs in the film though. I do recommend this movie. It shows those who were not born to see the 60's & 70's what it was like, somewhat. Only a documentary shows that though.

A little known gem of a movie
2009-01-15 - Personally, I think this is one of Elvis' better movies. He plays a more serious role than in many of his other films and is well cast beside Mary Tyler Moore. The storyline is interesting and more intense than you might expect.

I removed a star from the rating because the film was marketed as lighter fare than it should have been. I don't think that the actors were allowed to create the depth of character that would have taken the film to the next level.

Elvis movie
2008-02-25 - This a pretty good movie not my favorite but got it to complete my collection!!!!!

Anything Elvis did is great
2008-01-25 - This is another great film classic starring Elvis Presley. It has more drama than his other movies, closer to the modern problems we face today than most of his movies, but truly a good movie. Family feature.
