Editorial Reviews:

Elvis Presley is at his dreamboat peak in this musical comedy that finds the sexy star crooning five original songs in an "amusing and fast-paced" (Variety) romp boasting a "delightful mixtureof songs, romance, humor and good old homespun warmth" (Citizen-News)! When his scheming pop decides to "homestead" the family on a public beach, Toby Kwimper (Presley) digs the exotic settingbut hates the attention he is suddenly receiving. Though he just wants to play his guitar, Toby finds himself up to his baby blues in trouble with government bureaucrats, crime bosses and even two smitten "kittens"an adopted little sister who feels more than sisterly love for him and a social worker with more than his welfare on her mind!

Summary: Review the film for its content and not its aspect ratio!
Comment: This film has already been summarized & reviewed - for me, this is a 4* fun Elvis film; gave it a 5* rating to counter-balance the many 1* ratings complaining about the lack of a WS version - this is NOT an evaluation of the film - just irritates me! There is a 'flippy' letterbox version in 2.35:1 aspect ratio but it is not anamorphic (which is my preference - and I agree that the company should have done this movie in that format) - but this is a quite good comedic romp for Elvis & love Arthur as papa! Avoid the negative reviews and give this a watch, please.

Summary: FOLLOW THAT DREAM
Comment: 1 NOV: 2007 GREAT FLICK !!! IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE CRITICS DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE COURT ROOM SCENE WHEN ELVIS WAS EXPLAINING ABOUT HIS POP TAKING IN THOSE KIDS THAT WERE ZERO RELATION. JUST SO THEY DID NOT WIND UP WARDS OF THE COURT. HE EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. THEN REMINDS THE JUDGE & COURTROOM THAT THIS WHOLE DEAL IS STRICTLY ABOUT THE WELFARE OF THOSE KIDS. THEN HE SAYS TO THE JUDGE, "JUDGE, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT, THEN YOU AIN'T NO JUDGE".(that was 1962, wished the judges of today understood that!!)
THE COMEDY IS SLY, AND GOOD.
ELVIS PLAYS A ROLE LIKE FROM TIME TO TIME HE IS ABOUT HALF DUMB. DUMB AS A FOX. ABOUT LIKE COLUMBO PLAYS.
MUSIC IS GOOD.

Summary: A Dream with the King
Comment: Follow that Dream is Elvis at his best. A comparatively early musical effort before the King settled into his more formulaic series of musicals. The movie has Elvis as an 'aw shucks, maam' good ole' southern boy.On outside appearances - not too bright but underneath a tough core with a country smart take on things. Elvis is excellent and his screen presence shows why his movies were far more profitable than such mainstream musicals as 'Camelot' and 'Paint Your Wagon'. Elvis wandering the woods singing 'I Talk to the Trees' would have been an enjoyable, silly pleasure and not the toe curling embarassment that Clint Eastwood made of it in the latter film. Obviously Eastwood has transcended all expectations since then but in musical adventure films no one can surpass the King. Apart from the opening song there are no outstanding musical numbers but the ensemble cast works well with Arthur O'Connell particularly noticeable as the canny patriach and Anne Helm enticing as the romantic interest (both starred in other Elvis movies also). The story moves along well with a nice twist at the end. Great nostalgic movie for a time that probably never existed but should have.
Customer Rating:
Summary: good old fashioned fun
Comment: This is one of my favorite Elvis movies. It has a good storyline. E;vis does more acting and less singing for the girls. It's just fun to sit down and watch.
