It's the most requested photo in the US National Archive, apparently - the President and the King stood shaking hands. This charming, feather-light piece of whimsy posits what might have happened when the two of them met on December 21, 1970. Some very brief research reveals that some of the unlikeliest parts of the story are true - Elvis really did want to be an undercover FBI agent, and the National Archive holds his letter that says as much. What really makes it all so sweet, however, is the way director Liza Johnson allows the innate fragility of these two very famous men to shine through, depicting them as being every bit as prone to self-doubt and vanity as the rest of us.
