Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
He defined American pop culture for an entire generation, with hit after hit dominating the charts and his live concert performances packed with delirious fans. Yet, despite his meteoric rise to stardom, Elvis longed to realize his boyhood dream of being a matinee idol. It didn't take long for Hollywood filmmakers to recognize Elvis' musical talent, good looks, charisma, and, more importantly, his silver screen potential. In 1956, the twenty-one-year-old Elvis was selected by Twentieth Century-Fox to star in the first of his 33 motion pictures, and a Westom film to be called "The Reno Brothers." So impressed were the studio executives by the classic ballad Elvis performed for the soundtrack the film was renamed “Love Me Tender." Barely two years after making his first recordings at Memphis' Sun Studio, Elvis was a box office smash. "Love Me Tender" premiered in late 1956 at New York's Paramount Theatre, where the assembled press and throngs of fans held court outside the theatre, hoping for a glimpse of America's new superstar. The film debuted in the number two position at the box office, earning its cost back in only a few days. Elvis later starred in two more Western films, "Flaming Star" and “Charro!,” thought by many to be highlights of his film career. His unique brand of music, a blend of gospel, blues, and country-western styles, guaranteed his movies would be popular with millions of fans worldwide.

America Remembers, working closely with Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. introduced the Elvis Presley Western Tribute Revolver. For the Tribute, they selected the Colt Cowboy Single Action Revolver, today's updated descendant of the legendary Colt Single Action Army. Colt firearms have been a favorite with American lawmen and collectors throughout our nation's proud history. What's more, they are strongly identified with the Old West, an era that fascinated Elvis, and one that served as a Courtesy Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. setting for some of his most memorable films.
