“There’s no better bet in Hollywood than an Elvis movie,” Elvis Presley’s manager, the legendary Col. Tom Parker once said. And he was right. In fact, the 31 films that Elvis starred in as an actor between his debut, Love Me Tender in 1956, and his last, Change Of Habit in 1969, made $2.2 billion (adjusted for inflation) in the U.S. alone. And he was the 10th top box-office draw in the 1960s.
