Elvis & Nixon Featurette by Amazon Studios
The Most Requested Moment in Photography A picture can be worth a thousand words. In this case, a picture is worth a feature film starring Kevin Spacey and Michael Shannon. The photograph that the Elvis & Nixon took together has become the most demanded photograph from the National Archives.
