May 05 - Blu-ray Auction Results

On Amazon the classic movie "Love Me Tender" is available for pre-order on blu-ray. The movie should be available August 2, 2013.

Moviegoers were introduced to Elvis Presley in this film set 

during the dying hours of the Civil War. Elvis sings four songs, including the title song. The year is 1865, and the three Confederate Reno brothers don't know the war has ended. 

They manage to steal a Union Army payroll, and head for 
home with the money. While Vance (Richard Egan) can think only of the love of his life, Cathy (Debra Paget), it turns out that the brothers have been reported dead, and Cathy has married their youngest brother Clint (Elvis Presley). Vance accepts this until he learns that Cathy still 
loves him. To complicate things, the U.S. Army knows of the brothers' theft and is hunting them down.
