	Movies - Change of Habit

Change of Habit is a 1969 motion picture drama starring Elvis Presley and Mary Tyler Moore. As Dr. John Carpenter, Presley is practicing in a ghetto medical clinic and falls for a co-worker, Sister Michelle Gallagher (Moore), unaware that she is a nun; hence, the title was a play on words. This film was considered by some critics to be of somewhat more substance that some of the previous Presley films, in other words it did not consist solely of contrived situations which allowed him to sing, dance, and otherwise interact with beautiful young women.

It was Presley's final film.
