The quality of Presley`s films varied widely, and a quote attributed to Presley in the documentary ``This is Elvis`` alleges some of the films even made him physically ill. Following the 1969 production, ``Change of Habit``, Presley shifted his career back to recording and touring and his remaining film appearances were in two concert films/documentaries in the early 1970`s, although Presley reportedly continued to consider dramatic movie roles.
