Elvis goes to backwoods Florida to set-up a makeshift home & business

A family of hicks from rural Georgia run out of gas on the northwest coast of the Florida peninsula and decide to homestead there. They have to deal with annoying bureaucrats and gangsters who run a mobile gambling ring. Elvis Presley, Anne Helm, Arthur O'Connell, Simon Oakland and Joanna Moore are all on hand.

“Follow That Dream” (1962) was Elvis’ 9th movie of the 31 he did. I didn’t like it the first time I saw it because of the (seemingly) eye-rolling premise. Viewing it again after many years, I appreciated... read the rest.
