Jailhouse Rock Colorized Edition DVD

This is the colorized version of 'Jailhouse Rock' that was released on VHS video in 1988. This is a new transfer (2023) from VHS Video (Sourced from a new and sealed VHS tape) and has been, upscaled and improved and enhanced. The quality is very good (for what it is) however it is still in the resolution from that time and thus is not normal DVD quality.

This release is significantly better than the previously available DVD version which the main complaint was that it was 'too dark' (This is/was from VHS degradation with used tapes degrading at a MUCH higher rate than new unused tapes).

Love Me Tender Colorized Edition DVD

This colorized version of 'Love Me Tender' film (That was possibly released in China?) has Chinese subtitles showing at all times and these cannot be removed. The quality is very good (for what it is) however it is still in the resolution from that time and thus is not normal DVD quality. It's watchable but overall not as good as Jailhouse Rock.

Video has been upscaled, improved and enhanced.

About the Colorization

CST Entertainment, Inc. (formerly Color Systems Technology, Inc.) was formed in 1983 to convert black-and-white films and television shows into color; among them, the MGM library for Ted Turner's Turner Entertainment Co. The logo shown at the end of the film is one that was used between 1994-1996.

So this confirms this was officially and professionally made.

How then it came to have Chinese Subtitles is still unknown but perhaps we can atleasy be hapy with the idea that someone in China thought enough of Elvis and this movie to add subtitles!

Love Me Tender Colorized Edition DVD

In this 1957 box-office hit that's Elvis 'Presley s best film' according to Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide, the King plays Vince Everett, jailed for manslaughter after a bar fight. There, Vince learns to belt out tunes while 'In the house' and after being paroled, follows a bumpy road to music and movie success. Six Presley songs by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller spike the story, including Treat Me Nice, I Wanna Be Free and the classic shimmy-shakin' title tune that was Presley's favorite of all his films' production numbers.

Jailhouse Rock Colorized Edition DVD

This is Elvis Presley at his very best! He plays Vince Everett jailed for manslaughter after a bar fight. This is a damn good movie in its own right. (Originally) shot in black and white with Elvis making a good job of playing the rebel Vince Everett. The Jailhouse Rock sequence is superbly handled and the entire movie smokes.

Along with the famous and quite brilliant title song we also get 'Treat Me Nice', 'Baby, I Don't Care', 'I Want To Be Free', 'Don't Leave Me Now' and the lovely tender 'Young & Beautiful'.

Absolutely love this movie. Love the music and Elvis of course. A very enjoyable film showing Elvis in his raw rock and roll singing and acting days. Nostalgic, interesting and fun.
Really good to watch.
