Item #: 70-xx Year: 1969 Price: $5 Running Time: 97 minutes Description: It’s like a carnival midway and a week at some highfalutin East Coast college all in one. The Chautauqua, a travelling 1927 tent show, has come to Radford Center, Iowa. And so has a heap of trouble. In a change-of-pace role, Elvis Presley portrays Walter Hale, the white suited impresario overseeing the Chautauqua’s novelty acts, lectures and close harmonies. The supporting cast is as colourful as the film’s vibrant Americana. Vincent Price’s Mr. Morality holds forth an immorality. John Carradine appears as a nimble-minded Shakespearean actor. Marlyn Mason, Joyce Van Patten, Sheree North, Edward Andrews and Dabney Coleman also star. And Elvis sings as only he can, from the tender ballad Almost to the rousing traditional Swing Low Sweet Chariot and the untraditional rouser Clean Up You Own Backyard.
