Two items: Window card poster and lobby card for Love Me Tender. The promotional catch-phrase, ‘Mr. Rock ‘N’ Roll in the Story He Was Born to Play,’ as seen on the wide array of Love Me Tender advertising, didn’t play well with Presley himself, despite the overall favorable reviews he received in his acting debut. Even though it was a box-office success, Elvis later confided that he regretted making the film with musical numbers included because it set the formula for his entire movie-making career. 11 x 14 lobby card framed to an overall size of 15.5 x 12.5; 14 x 22 window card poster framed to an overall size of 15.5 x 23.5. In very good to fine condition, with lobby card exhibiting scattered light soiling and creasing, and some restoration to upper left border; window card also shows scattered light toning and soiling.
