Synopsis
It may sound crazy, but Elvis Presley - that God-fearing, gospel-singing American pop icon - was a Jew. Maverick journalists and filmmakers Max Wallace and Jonathan Goldstein have proven it. Schmelvis: In Search of Elvis Presley's Jewish Roots is a behind-the-scenes account of their irreverent and witty film documentary. With the help of a Hasidic Jewish Elvis impersonator and an eccentric Orthodox Rabbi, they trace Elvis's Jewish roots, all the way to Israel. Next? Bring the good news back home to Graceland! This wacky crew pilots the "Winnebagel" on a pilgrimage down America's legendary Highway 61 to the home of the King, and along the way they share the startling truth with Elvis' own disciples, rednecks, truckers, white trash and plain old unsuspecting Americans. Schmelvis: In Search of Elvis Presley's Jewish Roots compiles the journals of the filmmakers, production logs, selections from the film script, trivia, and a private investigator's official report on Elvis's Jewish roots. Finally, it has Aunty Pearly's original recipe for kosher peanut butter and banana sandwiches: Elvis's favourite.
