You can only be the face of youth culture for so long before changing tastes edge you out. What then?
Elvis Presley, in that now-famous black leather suit, performing in his 1968 comeback special which aired on NBC, which is the subject of the documentary"Reinventing Elvis: The ‘68 Comeback."
“Don’t trust anyone over 30” was the youth mantra of the moment. And there was Presley, ancient by those standards at 33, trying to stake his claim with a return to television for the first time in a decade. Producer and director Steve Binder played a key role in shaping that 1968 NBC special and his wry and matter-of-fact recollections form the backbone of the documentary.
Presley stepped into the ‘60s after a two-year stint in the Army that had been orchestrated by Parker as a way to reset the singer’s persona and make it more palatable for a broader audience. But by the end of the decade, his career had devolved into a succession of mediocre films.
