Desc: Elvis: The Rebirth of the King: Directed by Mike Connolly. With The Beatles, Steve Binder, Bill Bixby, Bill Black. When Elvis Presley began performing in Las Vegas in 1969, many believed that was the end of his career, especially after the excitement of his '68 Comeback Special. This documentary follows his time in the gambling capital and argues that it was a musical renaissance for the King, who reached his peak as both as a singer and performer - jumpsuits and all.
