Change of Habit is a 1969 American musical drama film directed by William A. Graham and starring Elvis Presley and Mary Tyler Moore. Written by James Lee, S.S. Schweitzer, and Eric Bercovici, based on a story by John Joseph and Richard Morris, the film is about three Catholic nuns, preparing for their final vows, who are sent to a rough inner city neighborhood dressed as lay missionaries to work at a clinic run by a young doctor. Their lives become complicated by the realities they face in the inner city, and by the doctor who falls in love with one of the nuns.
Change of Habit was Presley's 31st and final film acting role; his remaining film appearances were in concert documentaries. The film was Moore's fourth and final film under her brief Universal Pictures contract; she would not appear in another theatrical movie until Ordinary People in 1980. Moore and Edward Asner, who also appears in the film, would go on to star in The Mary Tyler Moore Show, one of the most popular television shows in the 1970s

"Change of Habit" was Elvis Presley's last theatrical movie. It runs on COZI TV every now and again...
Yes, that's Mary Tyler Moore with Elvis, the Pelvis! (Wonder if they were an
'item' back then??)

Youse done fine stumping me on this one. I've enjoyed a few Elvis movies in the past,
but the answer to today's question eludes me.
I'll take a guess that it was "Elvis In The Hood". Lol.

Change of Habit. His preference was for virgin non child baring women! Rock-a-Hula Baby!!!
Lois Of Oregon answered:
Is this a trick question? I am confused. In his last
scripted movie, he played a guy who tried to steal God's
girlfriend. In his last concert film, he played God. In any
event I ended up reading WAY too much about Elvis,
especially how he died; the normal colon is 2 to 3 inches in
diameter and 4 to 5 feet long. Elvis' Autopsy revealed his
was 5 to 6 inches in diameter and 8 to 9 feet long! Cause of
death: Acute Constipation. Yuck.

Change of Habit..unless you count the concert documentaries after that.

I-do-not-know... Nor, do-I-care (Sorry, Boss)... See, I was not at all into "The King"... at-all... Oh, a couple o' his tunes we're okay, I guess. But, exposed to his persona and visual presence always left me feelin'... well, 'greasy'... and at the end, he was a bloated, tacky costumed caricature whose "Blech!" factor was off the scale... There, I said it...

'However' Moment - However, I do recognize that he was "The King"...

And, Joe S said:
Oh my goodness gracious, so many bad movies to choose from, where to start? Start from the end I guess. I know full well the last Elvis movie I actually enjoyed was King Creole, and in my opinion was his best movie. I certainly enjoyed the music.
But on to the Trivia! According to my extensive research, "Change of Habit" was Elvis' 31st and final film acting role. So does this make it his last theatrical movie? I think so but he had two more movies that were concert documentaries. Some folks contend these movies were "theatrical movies." I do not concur, they were concert documentaries.
For those of you who insist on thwarting me, the last of the documentaries was "Elvis on Tour." It won a Golden Globes for Best Documentary!

The days when political campaigns would try to make inroads with demographic groups such as soccer moms or white working-class voters are gone. Now, the operatives are targeting specific individuals.
And, in some places, they can reach those individuals directly through their televisions.
Welcome to Addressable TV, an emerging technology that allows advertisers - Senate hopefuls and insurance companies alike - to pay some broadcasters to pinpoint specific homes.
"With a traditional TV buy you can end up paying for a lot of eyeballs you don't care about," said Chauncey McLean, chief operating officer of the Analytics Media Group, an ad and data firm. "Addressable TV is a powerful tool for those that are equipped to use it. If you know who you want to talk to and what you want to say, you can be much more precise."
Data geeks look at everything from voting histories to demographics, magazine subscriptions to credit scores, all in the hopes of identifying their target audience. The advertiser then hands over a list of targets and, without the viewer necessarily realizing it, the ads pop on when viewers sit down to watch a program if their broadcaster has the technology.

Singer Betty Carter, guitarist Wes Montgomery, drummer Elvin Jones and bandleader Fletcher Henderson have been voted into Jazz at Lincoln Center's Ertegun Jazz Hall of Fame.
JALC announced the 2014 inductees Monday after tallying votes by jazz fans worldwide from a list of 10 nominees selected by a committee of musicians and scholars.
Montgomery influenced countless modern jazz guitarists, including George Benson and Pat Metheny. Jones was the driving force propelling saxophonist John Coltrane's classic quartet.
Henderson's big band helped create swing music, and his arrangements were used by Benny Goodman's orchestra. Carter was a masterful scat singer known for her adventurous improvisations.
A Jewish member of the "Monuments Men", a team of experts who rescued Nazi-looted artworks during World War II, accepted a medal from his German hometown at the weekend, media reported Sunday.
Harry Ettlinger, 88, who had already attended a red-carpet screening of George Clooney's new "The Monuments Men" movie about the group at the Berlin film festival last week, received the so-called Staufer Medal at an art museum in Karlsruhe, southwestern Germany.
The prize is awarded for service to the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg and was presented by the region's top culture official, Juergen Walter.
Walter said that Karlsruhe's own Kunsthalle art museum, which had stored its holdings in an underground depot during the war and got them back safely when it was over, must remember "the far-sighted decision of the British and US government to prevent the destruction of Germany's cultural heritage", according to a statement provided by his office.
Ettlinger later volunteered to join the Monuments Men, where his fluency in German proved invaluable. He is believed to be the last surviving member of the group.

Fabled British film studios Pinewood, the home of the James Bond and Harry Potter films, is to set up a new base in Wales, the country's First Minister announced Monday.
Carwyn Jones and Pinewood Shepperton chief executive Ivan Dunleavy revealed that the satellite studio will be located in the capital Cardiff. They hope the 180,000 sq ft (17,000 metres) complex will generate an estimated £90 million ($150 million, 110 million euros) for the local economy.
Pinewood's main studio is located west of London and was opened in 1936.
In April, it also announced the opening of a production complex near Atlanta, Georgia, its first in the United States.
Scenes with an actor who played the devil but looked a lot like President Barack Obama have been edited out of the upcoming movie Son of God, one of the producers told The Hollywood Reporter.
"It gives me great pleasure to tell you that the devil is on the cutting-room floor. This is now a movie about Jesus, the son of God, and the devil gets no more screen time," said Roma Downey, who produced the movie with her husband, Mark Burnett.
The film, which 20th Century Fox opens on Feb. 28, is primarily a reshaped version of the The Bible, last year's hit TV miniseries that featured actor Mohamen Mehdi Ouazanni as Satan.
For Son of God, the 10-hour miniseries needed to be cut down to the two hours or so that focuses on Jesus; Downey says they went out of their way to leave the controversial Satan out of the film.
"Someone made a comment that the actor who played the devil vaguely resembled our president, and suddenly the media went nuts," Downey said Monday. "The next day, when I was sure everyone would only be talking about Jesus, they were talking about Satan instead."

Rupert Murdoch's Australian operations pocketed an Aus$882 million (US$800 million) tax rebate from the new conservative government, reports said Monday, blowing a major hole in the country's budget.
The massive payout to News Corp. -- one of the largest ever made by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) -- related to complex shuffling of assets through local and overseas businesses in 1989 that netted the company a Aus$2 billion tax deduction, according to The Australian Financial Review.
According to the AFR, the payout was a significant element of the Aus$17 billion spending blowout unveiled by the new government in December.
In July 2013 Australia's Federal Court ruled that News Corp ought to be allowed to claim the deduction and the ATO had 28 days to decide to appeal.
The business daily said the ATO decided against such a move, as Murdoch's Australian newspapers waged a concerted campaign against the then-Labor government, openly urging voters to remove them from office with a series of scathing headlines.
Then-prime minister Kevin Rudd claimed Murdoch was agitating against Labor in exchange for concessions from the conservatives, who went on to win power in September 2013, the AFR said.
A Florida artist is facing a criminal charge after police say he smashed a $1 million vase at Miami's new art museum in what appears to be a form of protest.
Maximo Caminero, 51, was charged with criminal mischief after Sunday's incident at the Perez Art Museum Miami. According to a Miami Police Department arrest affidavit, a security guard told officers that Caminero picked up a colored vase by Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei. When told to put it down, the security guard said Caminero smashed it on the floor.
A police affidavit says Caminero told officers he broke the vase to protest the museum's lack of local artist displays. Caminero, a painter who lives in Miami, declined comment when reached by telephone Monday. He said he will have an afternoon news conference Tuesday.
Caminero had a recent showing at the JF Gallery in West Palm Beach that offered patrons a chance to meet him and "view a sampling of the work from his 30-year career as an artist."

Hong Kong Disneyland on Monday reported a record profit last year buoyed by an increasing number of tourists from mainland China and said it would build a third hotel in the theme park to meet demand.
The once-struggling park said profit more than doubled to HK$242 million (US$31.2 million) in the last fiscal year that ended September, compared with US$14.06 million in the same period of 2012, with a record attendance of 7.4 million visitors.
Hong Kong Disneyland is 52 percent-owned by the city's government.
The park reported its first-ever annual profit since its 2005 opening in the 2012 fiscal year, totalling US$14.06 million, while attendance stood at 6.7 million visitors.
The Arctic isn't nearly as bright and white as it used to be because of more ice melting in the ocean, and that's turning out to be a global problem, a new study says.
With more dark, open water in the summer, less of the sun's heat is reflected back into space. So the entire Earth is absorbing more heat than expected, according to a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
That extra absorbed energy is so big that it measures about one-quarter of the entire heat-trapping effect of carbon dioxide, said the study's lead author, Ian Eisenman, a climate scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California.
While earlier studies used computer models, Eisenman said his is the first to use satellite measurements to gauge sunlight reflection and to take into account cloud cover. The results show the darkening is as much as two to three times bigger than previous estimates, he said.

For happy couple Letve Osmanova and Refat Avdikov, both 21, their two-day nuptials start with a display of the bride's dowry -- everything from socks and a washing machine to the marriage bed -- on the street for all to admire.
The main part comes on day two when away from prying male eyes, two aunts ritually slap a thick layer of white face paint onto Letve's face, then stick on hundreds of colourful sequins to form flowers.
A red veil and streaks of shiny tinsel garlands frame the bride's painted face, rendering her unrecognisable and more like a doll than a woman.
The elderly German son of a Nazi-era art dealer has launched a website with information about an art trove discovered at his home, suspected to contain Nazi-looted works.
Cornelius Gurlitt's spokesman said in a statement that the Internet site www.gurlitt.info demonstrated the willingness of the 81-year-old and his lawyers for dialogue both with the public and possible claimants.
The site, which is in English and German, includes a list of questions and answers setting out Gurlitt's position and apparently aimed at fending off claims about the origins of some of the collection.
Gurlitt is the son of Nazi-era art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt, who acquired the paintings in the 1930s and 1940s and had been tasked by the Nazis with selling stolen works and art the Hitler regime deemed "degenerate".
But she was best known for her role of Ralph Monroe in some 40 episodes of "Green Acres," which ran from 1965 to 1971.
Monroe greeted folks in the town of Hootersville with a cheery "howdy doody," wore painters' overalls and was forever working on the Douglas family's bedroom with her brother, Alf.
