    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The courtroom scene was filmed in the Citrus County Courthouse in nearby Inverness, Florida. When the courthouse was restored and made into the Old Courthouse Heritage Museum during the 1990s, photographs of the courtroom were scarce, since courtroom photography was not allowed there for many years. With permission from MGM, still photographs of the film were used as reference to recreate the look of the courtroom. As of 2009, the only known visual record of the original courtroom interior is that which is in Follow That Dream (1962).
    • Goofs
      When Pop Quimper is supposedly playing the guitar while Toby is singing, in more than one place, his hands move when there is no sound and when there is, they are back where they were originally, making it obvious that he is not really playing.
    • Quotes

      Nick: Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five...

      Toby Kwimper: You do the multiplication tables too, Nick?

      Nick: [Nick rolls his eyes at Toby] Three, two, one.

      [Nick's trailer explodes]

      Toby Kwimper: Well, I'll be doggone. Your place done blowed up, Nick. It's on fire too.

    A heartwarming story about good and happiness
    For sheer entertainment and enjoyment, "Follow That Dream" was a great movie. It was one of Elvis' best. To watch it was to restore your vision of all that is good and right in the world. It was truly a great story of the victory of good over evil. I saw it when I was a young man and at age 64 I still enjoy watching it. This is one young people and older should view. We all would be better people by doing so.
