FOLLOW THAT DREAM : ELVIS PRESLEY GOLD



I agree with Julie Kirgo (who wrote the liner notes for the BLU RAY) when she said:  "It's a relaxed, charming, unforced performance-One of Presley's very best."  



The film looks magnificent on BLU RAY and is truly one of Elvis' best!  Very funny and well acted.   The soundtrack is GREAT and I was surprised to read that Elvis requested the song "Sound Advice" to be kept off of the EP (It was later issued on an LP), because it is one of my favorites!   Elvis had many winners mixed into his movie career :  KING CREOLE, VIVA LAS VEGAS, LOVING YOU, ROUSTABOUT are some of my favorites.   This film is special.  Watch the speech that Elvis carries off in the court room towards the end of the film.  It wasn't an easy role to pull off.
