I LOVE when Elvis stops in the Cadillac at 1:37 and the music slows down to Elvis signing “I’m feeling so lonely, baby, feeling so lonely” and then continues to chaos. Because thats exactly how Elvis lived his whole life…
I simply love this scene, specially in the part when sister Rosetta is singing with all those black legends and Elvis is chilling with them, it shows perfectly how Elvis loved their music, loved to be with them and how it was fundamental to his music. Superb!

@@SheenaRea Yes! Baz could have hit a grand slam there. Look up elvis's, "mean woman blues" here on RUclips. It's filmed in color, from the movie "loving you", now imagine elvis jumping on stage right after little richard, and bringing "club handy" to it's feet!!!!
People are criticizing him for sounding like Elvis when he was accepting his award Grammy award at the award show I mean he had to be working on this movie for three years it kind of makes a lot of sense that he's going to sound like the person is supposed to be playing in the movie
Kelvin Harrison Jr. as B.B. King, with just a few minutes of screen time, is fantastically soulful. His delivery of the line "if you're sad / happy and you wanna be sad / happy, you're in the right place," is so warm, so supportive, I feel personally comforted just watching him. You really feel B.B. would have been a best friend for life had they kept strong contact; the idea of Elvis being prevented from collaborating with heroes and peers like King is heartbreaking. This sequence, including the window discussion, hit many richly emotional notes for me, it's just masterful.
Elvis and BB hooked back up in Vegas backstage I think or in a room, and played a lot blues in 69 or 70. Same as James Brown sang in a hotel room with Elvis a bunch of Gospel, but yeah the official colorations never occurred sadly
Someone else mentioned this but you gotta appreciate how even though Elvis clearly felt overwhelmed by everyone surrounding him, he still did his best to shake hands, smile and sign autographs.
No matter how many times I see this movie, that first "WOAP BOP AH LOO BOAP A LOP BOM BOM TUTTI FRUTTI-" will always send chills down my spine. Edit: Also that smooth transition at 3:57

@@bradhuskers maybe that could be in the 4-hour Luhrmann cut. I would've also loved to see more of Little Richard after this scene! Maybe he could've gone into Rip It Up, Long Tall Sally, or Lucille (bonus points on Lucille since B.B. King named his favorite guitar Lucille)
Bravo to Baz Luhrmann for emphasizing how much Elvis was influenced by soul and gospel singers. You can easily hear that in every song he sang. This is my favorite scene in the film. Elvis escaping to where he felt most comfortable and welcome.
But they missed a HUGE opportunity at club handy. Right after little richard sang "tutti fruitti", they should've had elvis rock out to "mean woman blues", that would have been EPIC!!!
@bradhuskers dude... you have written this comment an embarrassing amount of times... yes, it would have been cool to see him perform at the club but the scene was about Elvis escaping himself and enjoying what he loved about music to begin with. So I understand why they didn't have him perform
One of the greatest scenes in the Elvis movie. Austin Butler was phenomenal. Alton Mason as Little Richard was absolutely unique. One of the greatest movies ever 👏👏👏
The young man that did Little Richard singing with leg on piano...Alton Mason,really nice young man. He was with the cast doing a interview and spoke well about the "Elvis" movie. I've seen it 17X my son's favorite number Lol so I best stop til I get my Elvis DVD 📀‼️🎸🎶🎤🎹💗

Sadly, the Academy hated it. They only liked it enough to nominate the movie for an award, they didn’t want him to win. One would suggest that the higher ups probably saw that “Elvis” got the highest amount of votes in every category it was nominated in, and they chose to give it to a lesser movie. That’s why I don’t watch awards shows that much.
Love how they showed Elvis' subtle surprise that he was this popular and loved even by the folks of Beale Street! Have never seen that portrayed in any other movie/bio-pic/TV-series. Wonderful!
The guy playing Little Richard was AMAZING! My mom loved his music. I actually got to see him in Wash, DC. It was a LEGENDARY Show. He sounded just like his records at 80 years old. People were dancing in the aisle at Howard Theatre. THANK YOU, Little Richard for gifting us with your magical genius. Keep heaven, rockin...🌞

There’s so much attention to detail from only elvis playing on the radio when he needs an escape to the slow I’m so lonely part of heartbreak when he slows down to Austin’s movements and gestures!!!

I think the real Elvis was happier than any movies portray him to be. He is always so brooding and troubled in the movies, and there was that side to him, but also a carefree, happy side.
I met BB King back in March of 1985. At the time, I was 16, and had no idea BB had known Elvis. It was an incredible enough experience all by itself -- had I known about history like this, I'd've totally flipped. BB was a shaman, a magician, a 100% spiritual force in concert. It's really no wonder he and Elvis hit it off so well.
One thing that I couldn’t help and notice is how stylish Elvis was for his time! I’m honestly looking for that exact blazer jacket he’s wearing in this scene so if anyone knows please let me know! Also Austin nailed it as Elvis! Can’t think of anyone else who could have played the king better than him!
I admire Austin's dedication to this role. He put every part of his heart and soul into this. He's a great actor and I can't wait to see what he does in the future.
Baz Lurhman missed a HUGE opportunity though, at club handy. After little richard sang. "Tutti fruitti", they should've had elvis rock out to "mean woman blues" it would have been EPIC!!!
I love every second of this movie and this scene was phenomenal.Elvis is going to see for the first time Little Richard and he like him a lot.That performance was amazing.I must also mention B.B.King and Sister Rosetta Thorpe.I was thrilled with this scene and these actors who really bring me back to 50's!
I liked it too. HOWEVER, do you agree that they missed a HUGE opportunity at club handy? Right after little richard sang "tutti fruitti", they should've had elvis rock out to "mean woman blues", that would have been EPIC!!!
Austin Butler Amazing amazing actor I have never seen such a real emotional delivery that I managed to live that time for more than 02:30 minutes dancing singing acting with faces and mouths and visceral expressions a spectacle of acting Elvis Presley deserves this star that appeared in the cinema.
Austin's is a great ELVIS and this scene is great and the the guy who did little Richard and singing tutti frutti was great I love this song 🎵 and ELVIS was right ✅ his mum shouldn't drink so much 😀 😄
I watched this movie and already knew a lot of this stuff about Elvis. My dad told me alot of this when I was a kid. At 47, it was cool to see it in a movie.
This the best scence. Where elvis was himself. I would if love to have been there in memphis ,this is my kind of music . No wonder elvis liked being there. The guy who played little Richard was great. Great scence!

@@user-crxfmuf As usual, you're dead wrong. Having the young elvis rock out to "mean woman blues" after little richard, would have SHOWN the connection they all had. And, it would've made the scene richer and fuller. If you had an ounce of intelligence, you'd understand that. The problem Baz Lurhman had with Austin, was that Austin's voice was limited and he specifically chose songs that Austin could handle. Elvis had many "rocking songs in the 50"s. And at club handy, elvis rocking out with little richard, would have been EPIC, improving the film in every way possible. You remain completely clueless.
I saw this opening month i theaters and was glued to the screen at the theaters wow Austin did such a fabulous job portraying Elvis! The people of Beale street loved him so much he got so much inspiration from their music! #ripelvis
Austin Butler es genial .se merece con creces el Oscar ,y es la mejor película que e visto en mucho tiempo y la vería mil veces .ya que soy un fanático de Elvis Presley.un 10 para está película
Couldn't contain myself in this scene. When Little Richard came rocking in the scene, I couldn't help but bop along and even sing along. Great performances from the actors
Loved this scene! It was awesome to see Elvis admire Little Richard and foreshadow what a pioneer he'd be when it comes to Rock n Roll. Plus it's amazing to see him hang out with BB King!
But honestly? The director Baz Lurhman missed a HUGE opportunity at club handy. Right after little richard sang "tutti fruitti" he should have had elvis rock out to "mean woman blues", it would've been EPIC!!!
@@jongon0848 Dude. They could've cut little richard's song in half, just coming in halfway through, then, elvis jumps up with a rocking "mean woman blues". EPIC!!!! JUST watch it here on RUclips. I'm guessing that Baz would have had to use elvis's actual voice, because the higher key on this particular song, would've been too hard for Austin's limited voice.
Besides marvelous Little Richard, BB and Elvis, I love the tiny Marie Knight's cameo with Sister Rosetta Tharpe chilling during their time together, simple detail but with a enormous meaning
I love the detail that he can’t escape his reality, even on the radio. It’s all Elvis.
Yea I caught that and thought the same thing.
Oh wow I didn’t catch thattttt
All he wanted was normal music
@@kmannash5924 what he liked was great music, he wanted to perform it and the industry and the world decided which part of that they liked and pushed him along.
Until he reaches the all black radio station. Such an amazing detail
I love how Elvis went directly where he could escape anxiety. Among friends and the spiritual vibrations of gospel and blues.
Exactly!
Caught that.
It’s all he knew 😢
Well that as well as literally leaving upper class white area and going down to the club with all black patrons. The radio station is the one station not playing his own music, his friends are there, and some of his followers will not venture down that way.
Well he grew up a bit holy roller and they are a bit wild so he just wants to be around his own kind.

Baz Lurhman missed a HUGE opportunity though, at club handy.
After little richard sang. "Tutti fruitti", they should've had elvis rock out to "mean woman blues" it would have been EPIC!!!
I love every second of this movie and this scene was phenomenal.Elvis is going to see for the first time Little Richard and he like him a lot.That performance was amazing.I must also mention B.B.King and Sister Rosetta Thorpe.I was thrilled with this scene and these actors who really bring me back to 50's!
I liked it too.
HOWEVER, do you agree that they missed a HUGE opportunity at club handy?
Right after little richard sang "tutti fruitti", they should've had elvis rock out to "mean woman blues", that would have been EPIC!!!
I think that it would be great that Elvis join Little Richard on stage! What a great performance that two legends will made!
Austin Butler Amazing amazing actor I have never seen such a real emotional delivery that I managed to live that time for more than 02:30 minutes dancing singing acting with faces and mouths and visceral expressions a spectacle of acting Elvis Presley deserves this star that appeared in the cinema.
Unbelievable... the man was together with BB king and all these legends !!! Talents hung out with Talents !!!
Elvis the King of Rock and Roll
Same with Little Richard and B B King is King of Blues
So the 3 Kings in a club!
Another great scene from the movie. 💖
Austin's is a great ELVIS and this scene is great and the the guy who did little Richard and singing tutti frutti was great I love this song 🎵 and ELVIS was right ✅ his mum shouldn't drink so much 😀 😄
Guy playing bb king was perfect
I watched this movie and already knew a lot of this stuff about Elvis. My dad told me alot of this when I was a kid. At 47, it was cool to see it in a movie.
One of my best scenes. Elvis Went back to his ( beginnings) roots to chill.
Austin Butler deserves an Oscar 🎥
Austin you nailed this. You are Oscar bound excellent portrayal!
This the best scence. Where elvis was himself. I would if love to have been there in memphis ,this is my kind of music . No wonder elvis liked being there. The guy who played little Richard was great. Great scence!
Just bear in mind that it's completely fictional.
@@ministryofanti-feminism1493 no it's not!
They actually rebuilt 5 blocks of BEALE street in Australia! AMAZING ! Real authentic so very well done!
@@ministryofanti-feminism1493 it’s not tho Elvis went to these type functions in Memphis you clown
@@impacc4182 No he didn't.
Austin Butler better get every award for this movie!!!

Robert u r right! It truly is a Masterpiece! I have loved watching this EPIC piece of his history ! I have loved this movie 8 times on the big screen CINEMA so far! 🥰fr.Australia
Every era has a great window in music. Elvis, Jerry Lee, BB King and Little Richard are certainly a great one
”If you‘re looking for trouble, you came to right place!“ What a consistency！
man, what an experience this was to be apart of. I was the trumpet player in all the club handy scenes :)
Great job Ainsley!
And I was Elvis in the entire movie. CRAZY!!

Wow!! Great job!
Whhaaaat! Wow! Thank you for being a part of this amazing masterpiece movie! This is one of the most exciting scenes in the movie. How Amazing to have been a part of it.
This is my fav scene of the movie beside the 68 comeback special and obviously If I can dream.
Austin Butler is great!! I love this film
Now we need a Little Richard biopic, and have that guy play him
Bb king lil Richard and Elvis wow 🤩
And Sista Rosetta Thorton.
elvis and james brown were great friends james brown was the only person that got to be alone with elvis at elvis funeral
The BEALE street scenes! Look so authentic! AMAZING ATTENTION TO DETAIL! 5 streets rebuilt in Australia! So authentic UNBELIEVABLE !🥰fr.Australia
Where abouts did they build the sets in Queensland??
@@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621 I believe south east Queensland next to movie World! And Graceland was built "in Aussie Bushland " that's what BAZ said!
@@joannemurdock7899 I need to see a behind the scenes video or some photos!
@@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621yes, there are some behind the scenes i saw a few come up on u tube , amazing, maybe Google - behind the scenes the making of Elvis in Australia 👍🐨
@@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621Elvis - Behind the Scenes
Elvis Presley,BB King, Little Richard, and Ms Rosetta. That club was full of talent that night
Whoever played bb king and little Richard on POINT
The amount of respect they have for each other is amazing. Little Richard is such a beast!
This whole part is one of my favorite parts of this movie.. Little Richard and that club I wish they had clubs like that now here ...like back in the day..
"The Col. should put him on the Steve Allen show! They would LOOOOVE his moves!"
The way he says that line is just too freakin' cool. 😎
Yeah that would have went well wouldn't it
The portrayals in this movie were all so amazing and so spot on. Brilliant 👏🏼
Its amazing to know i live in Memphis and know that Elvis was on Beale street and i never ever been to Graceland here lol it just shows how much history this city Has had !! And continue to make legends here in Memphis Tennessee 💯❤️
What a time to be alive
Elvis, bb king , little Richard in the same spot
MY MAN LITTLE RICHARD ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Birth of the Legend
Watched this movie 5 times. Love this scene ! Love Elvis 🤩
A terrific artistic masterpiece that made me watch it in 7 cinematographs from different neighbourhoods !
What a great movie. Congratulations to the director and actors!
Wow I’m so shocked that the actor that plays little Richard in this film sings just like him!!
If I'm not wrong the actor didn't sing the song. It was sang by Gary Clark Jr
@William Byron ops you're right, I made confusion with Les Greene 🤦🏻♀️
@@elvis78ale
Baz,Lurhman missed a HUGE opportunity at club handy. After little richard sang "tutti fruitti", they should've had elvis rock out to "mean woman blues", that would have been EPIC!!!
@@user-crxfmuf
As usual, you're dead wrong.
Having the young elvis rock out to "mean woman blues" after little richard, would have SHOWN the connection they all had.
And, it would've made the scene richer and fuller.
If you had an ounce of intelligence, you'd understand that.
The problem Baz Lurhman had with Austin, was that Austin's voice was limited and he specifically chose songs that Austin could handle. Elvis had many "rocking songs in the 50"s.
And at club handy, elvis rocking out with little richard, would have been EPIC, improving the film in every way possible.
You remain completely clueless.
@@bradhuskers why’re you so butthurt lol
I saw this opening month i theaters and was glued to the screen at the theaters wow Austin did such a fabulous job portraying Elvis! The people of Beale street loved him so much he got so much inspiration from their music! #ripelvis
Austin Butler es genial .se merece con creces el Oscar ,y es la mejor película que e visto en mucho tiempo y la vería mil veces .ya que soy un fanático de Elvis Presley.un 10 para está película
I love this version of "Let It All Hang Out" with samples of "Tiger Man" and "Heartbreak Hotel". If only it was on the soundtrack
I thought it was (?)... ah well. Maybe on a future soundtrack? It's phenomenal!
@@SheenaRea same! No wonder why I couldn't find it on the track list!
Just listen to let it all hang out on the Elvis soundtrack
i cant found it too! dawn
You just answered my question...if this song was on the soundtrack..:(
One of favorite scenes, the workup to Beale St!!!
THIS scene and Elvis orchestra rehearsal scene is my fav's...fire man...💥❤🔥
Yes mine too!!
Soo awesome!! As a proud Memphian I am soo happy for this movie
The scene with Little Richard is awesome 🤘🏻
Austin did a phenomenal job as Elvis ❤️👏🏾
This is one of my favourite scenes in he whole movie no doubt
Couldn't contain myself in this scene. When Little Richard came rocking in the scene, I couldn't help but bop along and even sing along. Great performances from the actors
🤩😍🤩The whole cast, particularly in this scene, They are all Outstanding!🤩😍🤩
Little Richard is so cool, I became a fan after hearing he influenced David Bowie, this was my favorite scene
Loved this scene! It was awesome to see Elvis admire Little Richard and foreshadow what a pioneer he'd be when it comes to Rock n Roll. Plus it's amazing to see him hang out with BB King!
But honestly?
The director Baz Lurhman missed a HUGE opportunity at club handy. Right after little richard sang "tutti fruitti" he should have had elvis rock out to "mean woman blues", it would've been EPIC!!!
@@bradhuskers yeah but the movie is already pretty long so I get why they didn't show it.
@@jongon0848
Dude.
They could've cut little richard's song in half, just coming in halfway through, then, elvis jumps up with a rocking "mean woman blues".
EPIC!!!!
JUST watch it here on RUclips.
I'm guessing that Baz would have had to use elvis's actual voice, because the higher key on this particular song, would've been too hard for Austin's limited voice.
Rufus Thomas on the radio, B.B King, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Little Richard. Can’t get no better
That laugh at 4:12 😍❤️❤️❤️
Let it all hang out EP!!Love it
Whoever plays BB king in this movie is awesome
Besides marvelous Little Richard, BB and Elvis, I love the tiny Marie Knight's cameo with Sister Rosetta Tharpe chilling during their time together, simple detail but with a enormous meaning
This scene is so underrated I just love the energy coming from that man
