LEGENDS

Actors in the longrunning Las Vegas show "Legends in Concert" try, every night to packed houses, to bring Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland back from the dead - and in so doing find their own identities become confused with the characters they portray. Meanwhile the show's Svengaliesque creator Johnny Stuart tells his life story and puts a few would-be Elvises through audition. Amongst other bizarre events Elvis #3 and Marilyn get married. Director Bar-Din fills this fascinating slice of Americana with enough humour to keep us entertained, but scrupulously avoids exploitation and humilation.
