Frank Sinatra's Welcome Home Party for Elvis Presley

1960PG1h7.4

Variety show starring Frank Sinatra, welcoming home singer Elvis Presley after his U.S. Army tour of duty in Germany.

After some introductory vocals by Frank, Elvis joins the entire crew in his army uniform for a short routine. Frank's pal Joey Bishop jokes about the expense for the show to present Elvis. Frank asserts that it was a good investment. Then the show presents various musical highlights from the last two years in order to update Elvis. After 40 minutes Elvis appears to sing Fame And Fortune plus Stuck On You with the Jordanaires. (It is not lip-sync). He is wearing a pompadour and shows he can still do his rocking body movements. Then he and Frank do a medley with Elvis singing Frank's Witchcraft and Frank singing lines of Elvis' Love Me Tender. It is not a perfectly smooth and comfortable routine. Nancy joins them and it is revealed that she is engaged (to Tommy Sands). Elvis shrugs "that's the way the cookie crumbles" and leaves the stage. Nancy then does a simple dance with the dance group wearing high heels and a high-flying hemline. "A good time was had by all". The show was pre-taped in late March.
