CarlZen Folk Music & Films (34) RE: Folk Music & Films 03 Aug 99


When I was about thirteen years old I remember going to a double feature of two forgettable films (so forgettable that I only now, because of this thread, remembered them. They were both in marvelous black and white, and one was called "Love Me Tender" and took place during the civil war, and may have even purported to be based on "Aura Lee" the folk song from which "Love Me Tender" the Elvis hit stole its tune. Come to think of it, was Elvis in the movie. It was one of his very early ones, if it was. Not being a big Elvis fan, I wouldn't know that part. The other was titled "Tom Dooley" or "The Ballad of Tom Dooley", either way my memory is hazy. I do recall the hanging tree in the film.

Anybody know what I'm talking about here, or have I finally reached that stage in life where my memories (especially of cinema experiences) and my dreams have all warped around each other so it is all one dreammemory???
