THEATRE
SUNRISE
Elvis Presley’s latest fun-filled
film is “Follow That Dream,”
opening Friday at the Sunrise
Theatre, through United Artists
release. In the Panavision and
Color film, Elvis stars as a naive,
girl-shy singing yokel, departing
from his recent dramatic roles to
reveal a natural sense of comedy
pacing. A delightful blend of
mirth, melody (Elvis sings five
new songs) and romance, “Follow
That Dream” costars Arthur
O’Connell, Anne Helm, Joanna
Moore and Jack Kruischen.
Based on the novel “Pioneer,
Go Home!” by Richard Powell,
the screenplay by Charles Leder-
er tells the story of a wandering
Southern family who try ^ to
homestead a piece of unclaimed
land alongside a busy highway
against the determined opposi
tion of government officials, wel
fare workers and gangsters. It is
an offering of 'The Mirisch Com
pany, which previously presented
“Some Like It Hot” and “The
Apartment” — successful screen
comedies.
“Follow That Dream” was
filmed in Florida and Hollywood.
