Elvis & Anabelle

Writer and director Will Geiger's second feature is conventional love story with a twist that succeeds mostly because of its leads. After a beauty pageant awakes in a morgue, she discovers a new path in life including falling in love with the young mortician. While the story of boy meets girl from different sides of the tracks has many variations, Geiger scored with Max Minghella and Blake Lively in the leads who bring charm and chemistry that makes this romantic drama work. The supporting cast includes Joe Mantegna and Mary Steenburgen amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
