Change Of Habit Movie Review

Cast & Crew

Director : William A. Graham

Screenwriter : Eric Bercovici, John Joseph, James Lee, Richard Morris, S.S. Schweitzer,

Starring : Elvis Presley, Mary Tyler Moore, Barbara McNair, Jane Elliot, Leora Dana, Edward Asner,

I'm hard-pressed to remember a film worse than Change of Habit, a movie which features the following:

- Elvis Presley (in his final movie role) as a singing doctor in a free urban clinic- Mary Tyler Moore as a nun and nurse- A plot which features said nurse and her friends "going undercover" in said doctor's clinic, and- The inevitable romance between Elvis and Mary.

This movie is so bad it is unwatchable. The songs are atrocious (you won't recognize a single one), the acting is pathetic -- even Moore can't save this project from devolving into utter sap and crap.

A desperate attempt to cash in on the brief and strange resurgence in all things Elvis, Change of Habit is unfortunately a lowlight in The King's career. Now, it's also a lowlight in my video library.

Groan.

As in, dropped like a bad one...

	I think this review is a little harsh. Elvis was a great singer/entertainer and the plot never mattered much to his followers, as long as he sang...anything! Elvis was a one of a kind...he was a King in the music business. I don't think anyone should be throwing stones...I don't see you up on the big screen, let alone doing anything memorable! Please be repectful, he still has family who have to live with your remarks! Thank You...and the movie was typical of all Elvis movies....not that he ever wanted to play those parts! His fans made him and they dictated what movies he would have to appear...so put the remarks where they belong...Have a great day.

	i have watched a change of habit many times and have always enjoyed watching it, in fact its one of the better story lines given to Elvis. we all are entitled to our own opinions, it be a boring world if we all liked the same.

	A bit over the top saying that Change of Habit is such a bad film. It isn't. It was one of the last 4 movies Elvis made that try to change and improve his image. Though ignored at the time, partly due tohis '68 special and hit singles,it contained elements and situations never featured in an Elvis film before. Elvis looked good, nicely slimmed downand did his best with this part. Best known song is 'Rubberneckin', just recently remixed too. Judging any movie has to be put in it's time perspective and in this case 1969.If we want to talkabout BAD Elvis movies, think of Harem Scarum, Double Trouble,Easy Come Easy Go.

	Elvis looks smooth in this film as always and Mary tyler more seems heavenly. More Elvis eye candy.
