The documentary has been remastered to celebrate 50 years since its original release
The Elvis Presley live film That’s The Way It Is is set to be re-released in April to mark its 50th anniversary.
Originally released in November 1970, the Denis Sanders-directed documentary was filmed during a series of shows Elvis played in Las Vegas in 1970.
A synopsis for the film promises that it “crosses the footlights” to “reveal the legendary singer as a man preparing for an emotional career comeback, the fans who travelled from all over the world for this history-making event…
“And the electrifying live performance of the man who gave us rock ‘n’ roll.”
That’s The Way It Is has now been remastered and will be re-released in April to celebrate 50 years since its original release.
The documentary will be screened in cinemas in the UK, the Republic of Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Australia and New Zealand.
