Elvis – That’s the Way It Is
Directed by Oscar-winning documentarian Denis Sanders, Elvis – That’s the Way It Is records the singer’s return to the stage after a 13-year hiatus (not counting the great 1968 television special). Sanders commandeered eight Panavision cameras in and around Las Vegas’s International Hotel in August of 1970, capturing not only the King’s good-humored performance but the rapturous reaction of his fans.

About Dr. Z
There are entertainers who only need one name: Sammy, Frank, Cher. To that list you can add Dr. Solomon Francis Zed. Dr. Z has been entertaining audiences for decades with a patented combination of showmanship and pizzaz that Lew Wasserman once described as, “a tall glass of yes with a wow chaser.” After gaining fame with his wildly successful nightclub act, Dr. Z established his acting bona fides on Broadway with a one-man show based on Twelve Angry Men and followed it up with a Tony winning version of The Shining called Overlookin’. On film, he played Abe Lincoln in an extended flashback sequence in The Towering Inferno that ended up on the cutting room floor, but picked up an Oscar the following year playing an arachnophobic priest who faces his fears in the disaster blockbuster Tarantulanche! Never tiring, Dr. Z still bounds out of bed every afternoon to fill any empty spotlight he can find.
