Auction History Result 8b0139 LOVING YOU linen 1sh R1959 different image of Elvis Presley performing with guitar! Date Sold 3/30/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1959 Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Loving You, the 1957 Hal Kanter rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) musical ("From a story by Mary Agnes Thompson"; loosely based on Elvis' own life, about a gas station attendant who is discovered by a publicist and a country western musician who then promote him into a rock 'n' roll star) starring Elvis Presley, Lizabeth Scott, Wendell Corey, James Gleason, Ralph Dumke, Paul Smith, Dolores Hart, Ken Becker, and Jana Lund. Note that producer Hal Wallis intended this to be the first Elvis film. However, six months before the start of production, Wallis loaned Elvis to 20th Century Fox for the 1956 film "Love Me Tender". Also, note that Elvis' parents made a cameo appearance in the movie as audience members in a theater. After his mother died, Elvis refused to ever watch the movie again, saying it was too sad for him to see his mother! Also note that this was the second of four movies that Elvis made before he went into the Army in 1958. He made no movies in 1959, and the public so wanted to see one that Paramount gave this movie and King Creole a full scale double-bill re-release just one and two years after they were made, with new posters for each, and the tagline "Elvis Presley back on the screen for the first time in a year"!

Important Added Info: Note that this 1959 re-release poster is FAR more rare than the 1957 first release (we have only previously auctioned two examples of it, and the last time was 7 years ago). The re-release occurred during the time Elvis was in the Army, and as noted above, this was given a major re-release with an all new poster and an all new tagline! What IS linenbacking?
