best movie i've ever seen.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The errors are glaring and insulting. Elvis Presley's 1st hit was *not* "Blue Moon of Kentucky". It was "That's all right" that Sam Phillips heard Elvis do, and promoted it on local stations. That was his first hit, not "Blue Moon of Kentucky", which was the flip side. I have no idea how they got such an iconic record wrong. Phillips did *not* turn Ike Turner away because Ike didn't have the few dollars to cut a record. B.B. King suggested that Phillips listen to Ike Turners Kings Of Rhythm and he did. Turner didn't steal the tip jar from a restaurant, and a restaurant owner did not fire a rifle at a fleeing Turner and hit his amplifier. There are many versions of how the amplifier was damaged, but it certainly wasn't from a bullet. That whole segment was a complete fabrication. Ike Turner did *not* jealously leave the recording session when when Jackie Brenston sang lead on "Rocket 88". I have never read anything that suggested that he was anything but perfectly fine with that arrangement. Brenston did *not* leave the "King of Rhythm" to work for Sam Phillips. He left to become a solo performer with a big band. That whole story line about Marion and Sam's torrid love affair is not documented anywhere. It appears to be pure soap opera, and as was pointed out by another reviewer, the real Marion was hardly the hot chick that Sam would have left his wife for. She was seven years older than him and looked older than that! Lastly, the series was *not* based on the play "The Million Dollar Quartet". In fact, TMDQ took place over the period of *one day* when the four singers got together. This series ends long before that meeting. What a monumental disappointment "Sun Records" is.

My husband and I loved this show. Having grown up in the South myself during the time of Elvis, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis it was especially memorable for me. Actually bought an Elvis 45 on Sun Records label in Georgia 1955. We found the background on Sam Phillips (sexiest man on TV)and his life as well as Col. Parker the most interesting part of the show. We all know how Elvis, Johnny, and the others all turned out. Who knew what a sleeze Tom Parker was, or how hard it was to get Sun Records established. Loved all the characters Couldn't wait for the next episode. The casting of these characters was brilliant to say the least. I really hope there is a next season . My family as well as many of my friends will be eagerly watching.

Sun Records had a strong start - I loved the 1st episode with all the promise it brought with it. But by the 2nd episode it became clear the focus would be on the Sun Records management team. We're now up to #5 and I don't even know if I'll tune in - had they maintained the focus on the music and musicians it could have maintained its beginning charm. Now it's just barely watchable.

Super impressed with the first episode. Not one dull moment, great pace, excellent writing and the acting is superb. The guy who plays Dewey Phillips is amazing as well as the guy playing the Colonel. Chad Michael Murray believe it or not is excellent- yeah that surprised me too. The guy who plays Elvis has an excellent voice. If there was any justice, if the rest of this series maintains thus level, they would sweep the Emmys next year but there isn't any cause none of them are playing full on retards.
