Heartbreak Hotel is a 1988 American comedy film written and directed by Chris Columbus, and stars David Keith, Tuesday Weld and Charlie Schlatter. Set in 1972, the story deals with one of the many "legends" involving Elvis Presley (Keith) about his fictional kidnapping, and his subsequent redemption from decadence.
The film was shot on location in Austin, Texas, at Green Pastures, the former residence of John Henry Faulk.
