November 15, 1956 –
Elvis Presley’s first movie, Love Me Tender, premiered at New York’s Paramount Theater on this date.
Elvis Presley is credited as co-writer of the film’s four songs, but in fact had little to do with writing them; it was just for purposes of royalties. Elvis did reveal at a 1968 press conference, when asked about his “lack of songwriting in general“, that he did contribute one line of lyrics to the title song, Love Me Tender.
