Synopsis

In August 1956, Elvis Presley began filming his first feature film, *Love Me Tender*, with his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, and his newly hired secretary, Trude Forsher. *Elvis and the Girl from Vienna* is Trude’s account of how Elvis Presley's career evolved from a Southern United States singing sensation to a global icon. Over the five years she worked with Elvis and the Colonel, Trude witnessed firsthand many of the legendary moments in Elvis's life. The book is not only a chronicle of Elvis's rise to fame but also the story of one of his most personal confidants, who had escaped the devastation of World War II to obtain the job many girls dreamed of—Elvis's private secretary.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
