714. Loving You (1957)

*The Warlock is already in The Base along with Mr. America dressed as Elvis Presley. America is in his computer chair and Warlock is in the recliner*

W: Welcome back to The Base for another movie starring Elvis Presley. Last time we looked at the first movie he was featured in. Now we’re taking a look at the second one where he’s in a larger role. That movie is the 1957 musical drama LOVING YOU. What’s this one about? A delivery man is discovered by a music publicist and a country singer and might be the next big star. Kind of sounds like the real Elvis story a little bit. Let’s see if he can play essentially himself……yes of course I’m being sarcastic. I don’t know if the movie will be good or not and its 1 hour and 41 minutes long. Here goes nothing, so grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for LOVING YOU.

*America reads the tag-line*

A: “A musician and a publicist help a delivery man achieve stardom.”

W: That sounds more like it, none of this Civil War stuff.
