Offered are Elvis Presley's Screen Worn Pants from His 1964 Film Viva Las Vegas. The grey slacks with side pockets and side buckle cinch at the waist. The interior contains a Sy Devore label with Elvis Presley's name, the date "7/25/63" and No. "9685" typed in blue. The date perfectly coincides with the last of the location filming and production for the movie. Location filming in Vegas would start on July 15th and continue through July 26th, after which filming moved to Los Angeles. The number on the Sy Devore label also coordinates with other known Elvis costume examples from the filming.
Elvis can be seen in multiple scenes wearing grey pants with a grey jacket, beginning near the start of the film when Elvis as Lucky is searching for Rusty, played by Ann-Margret. Elvis looks in multiple Vegas venues including The Sands, Thunderbird, Stardust, Flamingo, Tropicana, Sahara and finally The Swingers, where Elvis sings "Yellow Rose of Texas" to wrangle the sons of the Lone Star State who were convening there. Lucky finally locates Rusty at the hotel pool where he serenades her before she pushes him into the pool while he is wearing this grey pants suit. This pinnacle moment begins the chase and Lucky is up to the challenge, eventually winning the heart of Rusty in the end.
In 1964, MGM released the swinging hot Viva Las Vegas, starring the heartthrob Elvis Presley and the beauty Ann-Margret in a musical comedy that was a box office success. Regarded as one of Elvis' best movies, in part for the on- (and off-) screen chemistry between its co-stars, Viva Las Vegas reached number 14 in the top 20 movies of 1964 and grossed over $9 million.
The pants, measuring 40 1/2 inches in length, are accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Graceland Authenticated. The pants present with minimal signs of wear and only signs of age in the way of a number of small holes. Excellent condition.
