From New York Press, on "Elvis: That's the Way It Is," a 1970 documentary on Elvis Presley that has been reedited--at a cost of $1 million--to include about 40% more footage. It will debut on Turner Classic Movies on Jan. 15:

By far the best part of this new version is a long preamble showing Elvis in rehearsal with his crack Vegas band and the full complement of Memphis mafia sycophants. Its some of the most relaxed, candid Elvis footage Ive ever seen. Scenes of him jamming on Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel tunes suggest a hipper, more with-it Elvis, at least in 1970, than the druggy recluse of the stereotypes. Hes also revealed as an accomplished band leader, ably molding his show.
