The unbelievable 5K video restoration of the Elvis movie ‘Viva Las Vegas’ is a sight to behold. The footage is stunning, and the improvement is evident in the side-by-side video images.
The 1964 American musical film starred Elvis and Ann-Margret. The film is regarded as one of Presley’s best movies and features fantastic on-screen chemistry between the two leads.
The montage of film clips features many memorable moments from the film. At first, Elvis and a friend roll out from under a car in an auto repair shop to see the beautiful Ann-Margret in a red shirt and white shorts.
She smiles at them and walks away as Elvis and his friend smile in disbelief. They share a long gaze, and then it shows slow-motion clips of the two dancing romantically.
Elvis is singing for her and playing guitar at a pool and she backs him onto the diving board and pushes him off in a playful manner. He falls into the water with his full suit on and his guitar in hand.
Another scene shows them both driving scooters with no hands and smiling at each other. Ann-Margret even stands on the scooter at one point while it moves forward! The entire montage is set to the Elvis tune, ‘(You’re the) Devil in Disguise.’
They dance in a large ballroom wearing a matching yellow suit and dress. The footage has been restored to 5K video resolution. It plays a second time with the older version shown, converting to the newer one. It is a totally fresh look at the iconic scenes from this cherished Elvis classic.
