Surprisingly Entertaining
Elvis usually made movies that were utterly shallow puffs of fluff. This one is completely different. For one thing, unlike his usual efforts here his part is anything but a one-dimensional stereotype and in his portrayal he proves he really could act. In fact, it is a shame he never did more of this kind of thing, because if you take this seriously you find that his character actually comes across as intriguingly ambiguous. Here he plays an utterly guileless, humble, unassuming “down-home” or “good-ole-boy” type (entirely different from his usual flashier persona) which really does look like some kind of combination not only of Jethro Bodine but also of Andy Taylor — someone who is simultaneously naive and wise, as well as utterly cool, even-tempered and unflappable. In fact, the whole production can’t help but remind you of the Beverly Hillbillies and the Andy Griffith Show, but with the intriguing sense that there is more going on than meets the eye. Moreover, the writing compares favorably with either of those shows, with quite a few clever lines of dialog and situational incongruities. As a lawyer I was similarly impressed with the treatment of the judge in the film, who proved pompous and yet also clear-headed and conscientious, a combination of contradictions such as you really can encounter in real life on occasion, and I’m inclined to think the writers had a better sense of characters than one expects in a B-movie of the era. Anyway, there isn’t much on TV these days that is any better, so you would not waste your time to check this out in preference to yet another episode of *The King of Queens.* In fact, I actually agree with what another reviewer or message board poster said about this — while watching it, it actually occurred to me that I would rather watch this than another screening of *Star Wars*.

Follow That Dream was slightly different from other Elvis Presley movies
After years of only knowing about this Elvis Presley flick, I finally watched this with Mom right now. She thought it was weird with the setting staying in mostly one place and perhaps the behavior of a certain female social worker when giving Elvis the “word association” test. Also, there’s less of Elvis singing and when he does, it definately looks and sounds like he’s miming to his recordings. Still, Presley actually plays a character here as opposed to partially being himself as he acts both naive and perhaps a little smart and brave when his part calls for it. What else to say, well, the supporting cast is well chosen of which one of whom is Howard McNear who has appeared in quite a few of these Elvis pics. And director Gordon Douglas does quite well with the gags which isn’t surprising since he started his career at Hal Roach Studios helming several Our Gang shorts and at least one Laurel & Hardy feature. So that’s a recommendation for Follow That Dream.
