Page "Love Me Tender (film)" Paragraph 16

In interviews during his rise to fame, Presley would often talk about his hopes of attending somewhere like the Actors Studio.

He also insisted that he would not like to sing in any of his movies because he wished to be taken seriously as a film star.

However, Parker had a plan to cross-promote Presley's films with his music and this led to soundtracks being as important, if not more important, as the scripts.
