Underrated film about the power of Elvis
I just watched this film the other night. It’s called Touched By Love, it’s from 1980 and it stars a very young Diane Lane as a girl with cerebral palsy who learns to come out of her shell through her love for Elvis.
It’s based on a true story, where this little girl’s life changed for the better because of Elvis, so she wrote him a letter to say how much he meant to her. They actually became pen pals, Elvis sent her tons of gifts including records and teddy bears. It’s really a beautiful story.
I found it on YouTube if anyone here is interested, but the movie is genuinely good and very heartwarming. If you’re like me and feel like Elvis changed your life then you’ll relate to this movie easily.
It also stars the late great John Amos in a supporting role. Always great to see him in a film!
