After Elvis Presley’s sudden passing, a conspiracy circulated that he had faked his own death. Suddenly, a mysterious masked singer with the voice of Elvis appeared under the name of Orion. After recording 11 albums and performing to packed houses around the nation, this film finally reveals the man behind the mask.
Village Voice by Alan Scherstuhl
Finlay tells this story with the usual doc techniques. The interviews are marvelous, especially the ones with Ellis's exes, who attest not just to his weakness for groupies but to his collection of trophies.
