Description
Life in the shadow of the King of Rock and Roll…
Orson is a young boy whose mother works at a U.S. Army base in Germany in the 1950s.
There, he becomes a fan of a G.I. stationed at the same base, one Elvis Presley, whose music is played over and over on the radio.
When Orson is caught stealing recordings of Elvis’s tunes from the PX, the publicity catches the star’s attention and thus begins a lifelong friendship.
As Elvis’s career rockets ever higher, Orson and Elvis share many adventures. Elvis becomes the idol of the nation, while Orson drifts away from mainstream life searching for something to believe in.
Each man is an emblem of his time, as social conventions crumble, barriers fall, and the cultural landscape of America changes forever.
Elvis in the Morning is a riveting portrayal of a nation in change and of the effects of celebrity on innocence.
