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 believe strongly that this is a great film, and showed Elvis talents as a Actor, there are a lot worse ive seen in todays films. And worse actors too, yes i know it probabley isnt exactly acadamy award material but it holds its own and is still enjoyed today. Elvis was not a bad actor but had a load of bad scripts he had to do, Change of Habit could have become a regular series in its day like doctor marcus welby MD. it has one recognisable Elvis song ,if you watch the bit where he is playing the piano after painting, he is sort of trying to hum Lawdy Miss Clawdy. I love the film always have always will, it has pride of place in my DVD and Video collection julie joyce TCB
