 Skin Tight: A RED TAIL HAWK PRODUCTION $17.95 This is a story about Sam Hull, a United States Marshal, and the inner desires he set aside to bring Law and Order to wherever he was needed. Now, approaching the later years of his life, he wants to seek out those dreams of yesteryears that have eluded him as a Marshal. The dreams of starting a cattle ranch, marrying, and having children. Having been a part of the judiciary system for so long, he begins to periodically question if he has had enough of death, deceit, and the quagmire of sadness that goes along with being a United States Marshal. All the things he desires become his, but not without struggles that inevitably cause him to once again want to resign. However, with the right woman at his side and a renewed vigor, he finds what sustained all those who built the west. Courage, the courage to go on and initiate new dreams, ambitions, and to continue on as a Marshal at large, by putting aside any doubts about his ability to serve with Honor.  Double Trouble $9.99 Although "Double Trouble" was made a year before his famous "NBC Comeback Special", and there were yet some other bad movies in store for him, before his movie career finally came to an end, this is one perfect example of why his Actor's days were finally numbered. In a way it revealed itself a blessing, since the plots became carbon copies of each other, in which all he had to do anyway, was to look smart and to sing songs. A thing he could do much better on a live stage. "Double Trouble" was a vehicle for the "King" for European audiences, just as "G.I. Blues" had attempted seven years earlier. Unfortunately, this effort backfired and the movie had cold receptions in Europe, except maybe in Belgium, where the movie is supposed to take place. Its plot is a typical cliched slapstick comedy with romance interwoven in it, here and there, just to allow Elvis to do what he was good at. Banal and shabby, just meant for Elvis fans, it is a very forgettable movie, perhaps to join other bad movies like "Change of Habit", "Harum Scarum" and "The Trouble with Girls". The transfer of it on DVD on the contrary, is very well done, with a very fine resolution and sharp colors. The sound also has been taken care of, and although conventional, sparkles for its clarity. Just recommended for die-hard Elvis fans. For the others, I would recommend to stick to his earlier movies, such as "Wild in the Country" or "King Creole".
