ELVIS PRESLEY: THE SEARCHER
April 14, 2018  | By David Bianculli

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: This two-part documentary (part two is televised tonight immediately after part one, so Elvis won’t leave the building) tackles a tough challenge: After all these years and all these nonfiction documentaries and fact-based dramas, what else is left to say, or to learn, about Elvis Presley? I asked that question of the writer of an Elvis docudrama about 20 years ago, and I’ll never forget his answer: Elvis had a terrible time remembering names, so he called everybody “Duke.” Loved that then. Still love it now. For full reviews, see Duke Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes and Duke Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
