Elvis Gratton is the title of a Quebec short film made in 1981 and the name of its protagonist. It is also the common name given to Elvis Gratton: Le king des kings, a combination of the three initial shorts, and also to the cult series of three full-length films it spawned. It was directed by Pierre Falardeau and scripted by himself and Julien Poulin, the actor portraying the namesake. It is an acerbic but amusing portrayal of Quebecois federalist, ultra-capitalist, grotesque right-wingers.
