Elvis Presley is rightly called the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Not only was he a singing sensation, he was also a movie star! This coin highlights one of hit films Elvis starred in.
Mystic has permanently bonded a vibrant image of Elvis to this uncirculated US Half Dollar. The coin features an original photograph of Presley from his estate’s official archives along with an image of his signature. The coin is officially licensed by Elvis Presley Enterprises.
Flaming Star
The film, Flaming Star, was based on the 1958 book, Flaming Lance, by Clair Huffaker, with a working title of Black Star. Originally, the film was to feature Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando as the two brothers, but the studio chose Elvis and Steve Forrest instead. At this time in his career, Elvis wanted to be taken more seriously as an actor, so he requested that the movie feature fewer musical numbers. Two songs were dropped, leaving just “Flaming Star” and “A Cane and A High Starched Collar” as the film’s only two songs.
Elvis filmed Flaming Star shortly after his discharge from the military. Interestingly, Elvis had portrayed rebellious teens in his first films – fueling criticism of him and the impact his music might have on society. However, even the harshest critic had to admit that Elvis had performed his Army duty honorably. Military service and serious dramatic roles began to turn the tide of public opinion among adults in Elvis’ favor.
Elvis filmed Flaming Star in the fall of 1960. The film was directed by Don Siegel (Dirty Harry and Escape From Alcatraz). The western drama tells the dramatic story of the Burtons, a Texas frontier family torn by divided loyalties.
The tensions portrayed in Flaming Star were real. The Kiowa and Comanche tribes fought hard to keep their land as whites spread westward across Texas during the 1870s. Both sides in a desperate struggle for survival committed raids, scalpings, and other unspeakable acts of violence. Elvis’ portrayal of Pacer earned him the respect and admiration of Native Americans. In fact, Chief Wah-Nee-Ota made Elvis a blood brother!
