1956,November 16, Elvis’s first movie, Love Me Tender, was released. (Clint Reno)
The movie seemed to be a failure, but a box office success; Elvis was the main attraction and the demand so great that Twentieth Century-Fox had to distribute almost double their usual prints of a first run movie.

The critics quickly dismissing the movie and marked it as a B grade melodrama.
But what the critics didn’t see was the fact that Love Me Tender is a classic love story.
