“This is one of Elvisu0026#39;s best films in my opinion. And one where he extended his range a bit. Usually he plays he troubled youths, or confident smart people who are trying to prove themselves. Hereu0026#39;s heu0026#39;s an innocent in the world and itu0026#39;s a tribute to his acting skills that he was acquiring that he didnu0026#39;t descend into being Gomer Pyle.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOf course the film is greatly helped by the title tune which in my opinion is one of his best movie songs. Follow That Dream rightly belonged among Elvisu0026#39;s golden hits.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith an innocence here that rivals even Stan Laurel or Harry Langdon, Elvis manages to defeat some pretty sharp characters. The film itself has a charming innocence about it that makes it thorough going fun.”
