    Editorial Reviews

    One of a handful of Elvis Presley vehicles for United Artists release, Follow That Dream is a leisurely comedy/musical with a homey appeal that will delight even non-Presley fans. Based on Richard Powell's novel Pioneer Go Home, the film casts Elvis as Toby Kwimper, the most responsible member of an itinerant rural family comprised of Pop Kwimper (Arthur O'Connell) and nubile cousin Holly Jones (Anne Helm). Claiming "squatter's rights," the Kwimpers set up housekeeping, much to the dismay of local gamblers Carmine (Jack Kruschen) and Nick (Simon Oakland). In an attempt to force the family off their land, social worker Alicia Claypool (Joanna Moore) tries to prove that Toby is "degenerate," but succeeds only in making a fool of herself. Beyond a handful of pleasant songs, the film's highlights include Elvis' unwitting breakup of the local gambling casino, and the climactic trial scene featuring Roland Winters as a dyspeptic but basically likeable judge.

    August 18, 2006: First off, I'm not a huge Elvis fan, even though I do respect his musical abilities. A bunch of my friends were talking about his movies, and since I'd never seen one, I decided to give "Follow That Dream" a try. I think I chose the right one. He's still at the young, cute stage (before he became fat and fake looking) and his southern accent is adorable! I laughed so hard throughout, this has to be one of the funniest movies I've seen in awhile. All in all, I really liked it, although I was surprised that the word sex was brought up a couple times, even though nothing is really said about it. Still, I figured they wouldn't mention sex in such an old movie, and other than that it's family friendly. It's a hilarious story with a handsome and talented star.

    April 02, 2004: This is hands down the 'BEST' Elvis Presley movie ever made! It's great for the whole family. Even my 12 & 10 year olds love it! :-)
