Elvis' private family 16mm films, Incredible...........

 
 
 
I cannot express/emphasise how very rare, special and private these private family films are. I am truly humbled to have them in my possession.
 
 
Most people have some kind of footage of there own family from years ago which is always very emotional. To have private footage of Elvis Presley and his Family, very relaxed and doing the things family's do, for me is just incredible. Im sure you saw glimpses of some of Elvis Family Footage in the DVD Elvis by the Presley's. (Including the clip of Baby Lisa standing in front of Elvis and Priscilla's personal olive green tan crushed velvet bedding with skirting which I own and is in my museum, (can be found on) DVD Disc 1 Chapter 6 THE KING, 2 hours 05mins 43secs. Each clip that was shown in that DVD only lasted for seconds. Some of the footage on these reels have never been seen outside the presley family and close friends.
 
I have a number of these family films, Each one lasts for approx 18-20mins but I will describe one of them.
 
The camera which the footage is being taken is being held sometimes by close family or close friends, Normally Priscilla or close family or friends. When Elvis is looking at the camera he is so happy, because sometimes the person holding the camera is Priscilla or close family friends, he is so relaxed. Seeing it on the big screen With the 16mm projector, Its like Elvis is looking at YOU, Just incredible.
 
 
SOME OF THE FOOTAGE
The film starts in 1967 in the Elvis dressing room/Hotel room of the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. Elvis and Vernon are getting ready for the Wedding Ceremony of Elvis and Priscilla. Vernon and Elvis pose for the camera and leave the room after sharing hugs.
 
Over the next couple minutes footage from the ceremony shows Elvis and Cilla' from different camera angles.
 
The Couple is shown at their Wedding Eve party held at there HIillcrest Beverly Hills home with friends and family in attendance.
 
The film then jumps to Gracleand and Presley's arriving home from the hospital with Lisa Marie, Elvis is obviously a nervous wreck and ecstatic father all at once.
 
The next scene is film taken from the window of a jet flying over Hawaii. This is the first vacation they have taken since the birth of Lisa Marie.
 
You can watch as Elvis and Priscilla with Baby Lisa are driving around the city waving at fans, holding Lisa to the window and having a great time. Elvis is so happy here..(the movie camera is being held by family member in the car)
 
You will see Elvis and Cilla' on a small boat being taken to the Pearl Harbour Memorial and Elvis making fun of the "muumuu" that Priscilla was wearing.
 
The next segment shows the family at the Hawaii bungalow that Elvis rented, you will see Elvis and Cilla' on the beach on various days playing in the water, playing football and just having a wonderful time.
 
Then all of a sudden Tom Jones is on the beach with Elvis, they are sharing a day in the sun and shown talking while sitting in lounge chairs with Charlie Hodge. Then the group heads to the water, Tom, Elvis, Charlie and others spend the next few minutes wave surfing with rafts.
 
The next footage takes you back to Graceland for Christmas Eve. Grandpa Vernon is dressed as Santa, Sonny is there, Billy Smith is there, Marty Lacker, Dee Presley, Lisa Marie, Priscilla and of course the man himself Elvis. They are opening gifts and Elvis is obviously thrilled but doesn't like the bright lights in his face. Elvis looks truly wonderful.
 
The balance of the footage is shot in and around Gracleand, riding the horses, riding golf carts with the Smith boys. As previously stated very rare footage.
