    Elvis is such a powerful force, that this real courthouse, actually took the time, and finances to redesigned it to the original build. That in it self, is very profound. Only if Elvis could see this, he would be so impressed. He truly was "Regal"

    This is an amazing video as always Billy. I just assumed that the "courthouse" was a set, not a real one. Glad to know all this info, this town is so pretty and the courthouse is beautiful. Beautiful area from your drone shots. I found it interesting about the palm trees and painting the dead ones. lol Who knew?! Not me. Thanks for another great video that brought so much info to us Elvis fans. So many places to see and go, wish I could go to them all.

    I love the clothes, especially the shirts he used to wear in the 60s. Button down high collared well tailored shirts and his fabulous haircuts of the day. The suit he's wearing in the book was made by Sy Devore of Hollywood. His other clients were Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis.

    Boy, it's amazing, Spa Guy: Arthur O'Connell played Elvis' father in "Follow that Dream," then played Elvis' cousin, Pappy Tatum in "Kissin' Cousins" a couple of years later; also, Roland Winters played the judge in "Follow that dream," and just before played Elvis' father in "Blue Hawaii!!" Angela Lansbury played Elvis' dizzy mom in "Blue Hawaii," then had a much more dramatic role in "The Manchurian Candidate," the year "Follow that dream" was released (1962). Interesting.

    Thanks for doing this video! I think this is an Elvis movie that people of all ages loved, and still do. I knew Follow That Dream was shot here, but I sure didn’t know about the courthouse being so involved with Elvis. I almost moved to this area about the time you made this video as my son is friends with the Sheriff of Citrus County, but not until then did I learn about Follow That Dream being filmed here. I can’t wait to see part two! Thank you, Billy!

    Wow!!! Just really like and enjoy vids that make history come alive !
    Extra liked the pic of Elvis/co star standing on ct balcony ( columns ) with gas station in background.
    And that fire hydrine looked original.
    Imagine bringing in a Elvis fan and getting them to stand on that balcony where Elvis stood and then telling the fan .....you know where your standing well.....
    Not that we make Elvis steps like the footprints of Jesus.....it's just the respect and honour we have for Elvis...not perfect guy but a guy that God is still using to this very day !
    A forgiven man and a man who honoured God on stage ...Elvis most times sang a gospel song in his concerts when it was not cool to do so.
    Your batting the ball outta the park with this one.
    God bless the lady and man in the ct house museum too.

    Thanks for showing lovely locale and building. In the film, inside building was shown. Besides Elvis' great work in the film, he also gave a great audio interview during production which I first heard on the 1980 silver album, released by RCA records for their then 25 year anniversary with Elvis. It's been heard as both an interview and monologue.
