As a big fan of The King, Sam knows that he can&#8217;t be here to get Elvis his deal since that happened fine the first time round, so his focus turns to Sue Anne (Mary Elizabeth McGlynn), a friend with a good voice, but crippling stage fright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Sam&#8217;s efforts to help Sue Anne, over the objections of her unpleasant fianc\u00e9 Frank (John Scott Clough), lead to him missing a crucial audition with legendary producer Sam Phillips (Gregory Itzin). When talent spotter Marion Keisker (Lisa Jane Persky) tries to pair Sam and Sue Anne as a single act, it looks like curtains for Elvis&#8217;s career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Memphis Melody<\/em> was directed by James Whitmore Jr., the fourteenth of his fifteen episodes (which is a bit of a spoiler for who the director is going to be next week!).
