In my lifetime, and although I was born when Elvis hit the seen, I was only about 8 years old. I never saw any of his early films (the first 4) in the theater. I remember the "excitement" that surrounded him and the "newness" of his music. I wish I had been a teenager during that time to get the "full" affect (or is is effect?)of his "debut" so to speak.
