Seen in FBDO

This particular image of Elvis Presley is seen in three different locations inside Ferris Bueller’s bedroom.

First, it is best seen at 00:12:41-00:13:47 in the film as Ferris talks with the freshman students using the payphone at school. The picture is located on the right side of the second drawer in Ferris’s dresser.

Later, as Mrs. Bueller returns home to check on Ferris, at least three copies of the same image are seen on the bedroom wall. This comes at 00:37:53 in the film.

These images are located on the wall just below the picture of Bryan Ferry. In the photo below, it is clear that there are exactly three of these Elvis pictures, one on top of the other.

Finally, in the early moments of the film just after Ferris opens his bedroom curtains [00:03:25-00:03:32], five more of these Elvis images are seen over his left shoulder.

Description

This photo of Elvis was taken from his first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. Though Elvis Presley had already garnered national attention with hit songs and appearances on other shows, his debut on The Ed Sullivan Show on September 9, 1956, is considered a pivotal moment in music history.

Sullivan, the host of the then-dominant variety program, had initially resisted booking Elvis due to the singer's controversial stage presence. However, after pressure from ratings and a car accident that left him unable to host, Sullivan brought Elvis on for a record-breaking three-show contract.

Actor Charles Laughton had taken on hosting duties for the injured Ed Sullivan on September 9, 1956. With millions tuning in, Elvis performed Love Me Tender, Don’t Be Cruel, Hound Dog and a cover of Little Richard’s Ready Teddy.
