… which of course we were, Jeremy Richey from the wonderful Moon in the Gutter, who is an unabashed fan of Elvis’ acting, just like I am, alerted me to a post he wrote about Tickle Me. Not to be missed.

With the exception of King Creole, it is difficult to find a favorable review of any of his movies. Thanks for sharing this link AND blog.
Jeremy’s a wonderful writer and his site is chockfull of great stuff. he has exquisite taste, and writes eloquently and passionately about the things he loves (not just Elvis). I highly recommend spending a lot of time on his site. I’ve been reading him for years.
Thanks so much Sheila for the link and the very nice words. They really mean a lot! I feel the exact same way about your work. Thanks again!
