"We have a guest in the audience, Ladies and Gentleman. One of the most distinguished actors of all time. He's made some of the greatest classic films ever made. I knew him from the Paramount Studios when he made "The Ten Commandments" and "Ben Hur"... Charlton Heston.
I used to kid him a lot. We were both working at Paramount, when he was doing "The Ten Commandments" and one day it was raining. I said "Moses, make it stop raining".

Concert: A funny and unusual show with Elvis being in a hilarious mood ! He acts more like a comedian than as a singer ! He mixes up songs and changes the lyrics etc.
A unique show, but not bad. It does have its charm !
