I'll review this. I will try to have some notes tonight, but I will probably not be able to complete the review for a day or two. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 23:35, 5 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • "before convincing him to for the broadcast": looks like a partly edited sentence.
  • "While the concert is delayed, fans defend Deke's music, being shot by local newscasters": this is a bit clumsy; can you rephrase?
  • I'm a bit surprised the article isn't longer; I'm no expert on Presley, but I would have expected that by his third film there would be enough sources to fill out a good deal more in the production section, for example. Can you comment on whether there's more that could be added? GA doesn't require that an article be comprehensive, but it does require broad coverage.

-- The prose is good enough; I tweaked a couple of things -- please revert if I screwed anything up. The sources look good. I don't have any of them so can't check for close paraphrasing. The images are OK; can't say I'm crazy about the quality, but that's not your fault. The clip from the song is OK because there's no separate article about the song itself, though if you do create that article I think the clip should be removed from this article. I had a look on newspapers.com for reviews and found nothing worth adding. I'll place the nomination on hold while you respond to my questions above.

Yea, there is not much about the production. Most of the rest of the information that I found about it are anecdotes that are not really interesting for the article. Since this film was merely a vehicle for Elvis, and a "quickie" (filmed in less than two months), I guess that makes it enough for a GA coverage of the topic. Needless to say, if I'm able to find more about it in the future, I'll be more than glad to expand it. Maybe it is that Elvis had so much things going back in 57' that most of his biographers so far didn't pay no mind to Loving You, or that there was not much more to say about it.--GDuwenTell me! 18:57, 10 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
I made one more tweak. Looks good; passing. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:11, 10 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
