...dynamic performer we have been led to suspect. Elvis wears a tight, one piece jumpsuit with an almost Elizabethan collar. It is close to self-parody, except that the costume has no fly, no seam at the croch, and it is too white, too clean and spotless. Not an extension of Elvis personality, it's like a piece of plastic that has been pressed onto his body, like cellophane melted over and onto a couple of thighs of chicken...
