...movie sets itself a lot of tough marks, especially since the film makers, anticipating sticky negotiations, did not try for the rights to any Presley vocals. However, the singing by Ronnie McDowell is gilt-edge counterfeit, Elvis' sound carefully shaped and reduplicated by Felton Jarvis, Presley's own producer at RCA. There is also a starring performance that is quite literally phenomenal. Kurt Russell, a former minor-league baseball player who has done most of his acting on TV and in obscure Disney features, does not attempt an Elvis impersonation, although he moves with gymnastic ease...

...indeed, Felton could, as he squared around on Brown's first pitch--an outside fastball--and plunked it cleanly down the third base line. With the ball halfway down the line and angling toward the chalk, catcher Joyce wisely yelled to let it roll. The pill scooted straight along the line for perhaps a second--Pearce and Brown hovering over it quizzically, like consulting surgeons, Felton already safe at first--before mysteriously hooking back into fair territory. Pearce snapped the ball up in his palm with disgust...
