| The new movie "Elvis and Annabelle" is an official selection at the South by Southwest Film Festival. It has a fine pedigree, as a joint production by Goldcrest Films International and Burnt Orange. It has a distinguished cast, including Max Minghella, Blake Lively, Joe Mantegna, Keith Carradine and Mary Steenburgen. Well and good, but this is not your ordinary boy-meets-girl. It's about a dead beauty queen who's miraculously revived on the mortician's table and falls in love with the mortician. What did you say? "Not THAT old plot again!" (Sorry, we couldn't resist.) Anyway, we're told that despite the odd subject matter, it's a charming love story. We think you should see it. And keep an open mind. We'll do the same. |
