A Beautiful building and so glad that they preserved it and restored it back to the day of Elvis. Thanks Billy Spa Guy! God Bless You

[@jonasbro1992]

Went to Inverness a year ago to visit and I bought a tshirt. I actually have family friends who live in Inverness, so cool to drive by where Elvis filmed a movie every time I drive to their house.

[@ADURANT42]

Not even the Corona Virus can stop Billy 👍 Great Job Billy........

[@101guitars-tm6]

Follow That Dream - my best / funniest Elvis film - great acting - very natural and funny parts - esp bank scene -he does not seem bored at this point.

[@williesmall3855]

Nobody like billy the spa guy ,fans no one realizes the sacrifice that Billy pours into every vidio on are man ELVIS PRESLEY

[@myelvischannel1992]

@Clairvoyante Go away you idiot your lot are so fake and take advantage of people who are feeling low and vulnerable, it all boils down to money money money to line your pockets and nothing else. FAKE, FAKE, FAKE

[@berniecioffoletti3398]

@Clairvoyante

[@blizzardbaby]

This is in my top five Elvis movies. Love the courtroom scene - Elvis does such a fantastic acting job in that scene. I also love the scene at the bank - its so funny! Can't wait for part 2.

[@NOVEMBER5TH2024]

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"

[@ssb753]

Elvis was such a good actor He didn’t have any type of classes or schooling for acting as they do now He could have became very popular as an actor

[@seanfitzpatrick4730]

Elvis didn't need acting lessons just The right Scripts and when he got the right script he was fantastic wild in the country kid Galahad flaming star jailhouse Rock first class movies great performances nobody could have done those roles better the right movies Elvis already had natural talent follow that dream live a Little Love he was also good comedy and fight scenes talented actor with versatility no telling what he would have done with the right management a lot of his movies very underrated

[@donniestevens1559]

You have done such a great job keeping Elvis memory alive

[@richardortiz8704]

[@prp3231]

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.

[@berniecioffoletti3398]

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.

[@myalfie]

With my enforced month off work this little gem of a six parter will carry me though thank you spaguy for making it tolerable.

[@georgemay2547]

Elvis at his absolute best in looks and voice . He would never be better than 1961 . Good but not better .

[@LynxSouth]

It's wonderful the people there took action to save and restore that gorgeous building, not just for its place in Elvis history, but for the community and the country.

[@brendalawrence6732]

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.

[@n8trsho]

Looks like a beautiful little town square.

[@epfanatic8170]

Loved this! Follow That Dream is my all time fav Elvis movie! I've passed by here before but never stopped. It's next on my list.

[@myelvischannel1992]

Love Follow that dream it's a funny film got it on Blu Ray. Great job spa guy. Booked up to go to Florda for Disney world this may from the UK but has we all know its all gone to pot. All well Maybe next year.

[@mrDCunningham]

This is great Billy. Just what I needed this morning and looking forward to this whole series. Nice work 👍🏻😎

[@clifffor1179]

Love! Love! Love! Oh my goodness Follow That Dream is one of Elvis best he was talking enthusiastically about it when he met with UK fan club. The courthouse looks amazing and they've done a good job restoring it to how it was from the photos..good to see drone footage of it. Such a cool video.

[@shannonwhite3721]

Great entertainment to pass time during the lockdown❤

[@sandrap.6530]

Just when I think Spa Guy surely will run out of Elvis locations, he comes up with this tiny almost forgotten courthouse. Great detective work as always. Wish we could send you to Hawaii to find Elvis locations there!

[@SpaGuy]

Stay tuned you will not believe all of the places I FIND..

[@dianephillips8879]

Love that book & Es sunglasses..

[@tommywood343]

I love the movie anything of Elvis. Thanks spa guy. And great people. And stay safe 😍

[@davidharrison3399]

[@TheTop40hub]

Probably my favourite Elvis movie. Some great songs and a great comedy.

[@jupite1888]

Thanks Billy that was Fantastic

[@alicemilling3706]

Really enjoyed looking at the old Court House and learning all the places Elvis would have been and done while there it's cool to see how things were and are now great detective work Billy God bless

[@beehappy3209]

I was drinking for 2 days listening to Elvis 😉. Time for SpaGuy videos....... "follow that dream" 🙏👍

[@judyjames7201]

Thanks Billy for all you do I may never get to go to these places physically but at least I got to get a glimpse of these places through your hard work and filming God Bless🤩

[@annaelvis3138]

Great Billy so great amazing see this video.

[@johncoffman2703]

Finally got a chance to watch all of this. Very nice

[@kdfulton3152]

I’ll never make it Florida, but through you, I can! Thanks for taking us along. Super cool, as usual. 😘🙏

[@jmf2471]

Great video. What a beautiful building. So happy they were able to restore the court room. How lovely your tour guides were. They seemed like true Elvis fans and eager to share local knowledge of Elvis with us fans.

[@bethgillikin3691]

Thank you Spa Guy very interesting and informative. Just another part of Elvis life as a film star. From the east coast of NC I thank you. Y'all all get that gold 🌟. Keep um coming y'all.

[@catherineengle4196]

Omg...wow I am going to have to go by there the next time I go back to my home town in Melbourne to visit. How cool! God bless Spa Guy

[@user-gw7vy9bg1y]

Элвис Пресли. Профессионализм. Талант. Красота. Трудолюбие. Эти качества сделали его Легендой. Яркая Звезда.

[@tupelomiss8315]

Wow fantastic thank you so much for going to this courthouse where this was all filmed such a privilege.i love all the comparisons so looking forward to seeing part 2-6 have yourself a great day My friend. Thank you so much for sharing & I never would have ever seen this or heard about any of this, I will now go & watch the movie again.

[@wendyherring6714]

Thank you for all the love and care you put in these videos and your love for our Lord that you share.

[@AlA-ok5jh]

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.

[@neildarealdeal7129]

This is one of my favorite Elvis movies. The affect he had on women in Hollywood and in real life was/is an educational experience lol... readeal

[@debbierohleder2948]

Thank you so much for taking us on this journey. Follow That Dream is my favorite Elvis Movie

[@SpaGuy]

[@BONFIRE168]

Thank you Billy!

[@sameirorodrigues6632]

Excellent! I really like this movie! Thank you Spa Guy! God bless you!

[@linacruz-francisco3409]

A million thanks for your efforts Billy. Love watching all your videos all very interesting and enjoyable. Have watched Follow That Dream many many times and recognize and remember all the scenes in the movie you were pointing at. Looking forward to the rest of this series. Take care and God bless you and your family. Greetings from Brisbane.

[@cut1986]

Fantastic! Amazed at how many places still exist. Thank you very much for all you do.

[@exploringmetaldetecting5989]

thank you spa guy as have ever film he made now just pull dvd out follow that dream

[@robertmorra8603]

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.

[@marijatrajkovska1540]

Hello Spa Merssi HELLO ELVIS My ANGEL FOREVER

[@Dorakaz1]

Thank you Spa Guy! I love watching your great videos! Noone is like you!

[@redogsummers]

Really enjoyed this, thankyou. Already looking forward to the other parts. I'm, like many now wanting to watch Follow That Dream again! Stay Home, watch Spa Guy, Sound Advice. Mike, UK.

[@tigermanfann77]

Hey friend, Your southern charm helps a lot that you don't find much in today's modern times where folks are losing face to face speaking abilities !!!! Texting and email with young folks has killed their communication skills.... I live a hour from you and watch your videos weekly.... I do a weekly EP chat myself and am a huge Elvis fan . Keep up the great work...

[@SpaGuy]

Thank You for the encouragement.. Stop by sometime..

[@rogerjames955]

Thank you Billy. Beautifully done and a great place to visit. TCB. Looking forward to the next part!

[@ramonaeichelberger4628]

A great part 1. It was great to hear they tried to get it like it was. Thank you.

[@delladawn1149]

Love the movie of course!! Looking forward to the other parts!! Stay well Spa Guy!!

[@BigDwww]

Hi Billy, those sun glasses elvis is wearing on the cover look like the ones found in Vernon's cabinet on a recent Graceland APRIL 8th 2020 upload titled, VERNON'S SAFE CABINET WHILE GRACELAND IS CLOSED,they feature at thirty seconds in, see what you think

[@RobinD106]

Your right the glasses are the same .

[@NOVEMBER5TH2024]

I noticed that also.

[@jansorensen]

Enjoyed very much. Thank you Billy for sharing !

[@alryan8609]

Billy you sure are a blood Hound Dog the way you can follow the trail of Elvis , excellent video Billy

[@dragoon6016]

Excellent video, Billy. I love that you always mention the Elvis-related cars. OUTSTANDING.

[@imaculadaconceicao6892]

A capa do primeiro livro já é um arraso... Lugares por onde minha Lenda passou e arrasou... Impossível não emocionar-me muito 😧.

[@MichaelSmith-yp4vv]

Fabulous video Billy! Love follow that dream one of my favorites! You have the very best researched historical Elvis videos. Ya hit another home run! ♥️💯TCB🌩️

[@martin77722]

[@shannonburns2525]

Thanks for the great video ❤️ it Billy

[@bonniebarnett7202]

Hi Billy 😊 Enjoyed video today thanks for sharing this with us! Looking forward to seeing the other parts 😊 too this series! Your friend Bonnie

[@socaleyes8684]

Fun Fact=== A ten year old Tom Petty was invited to Ocala by his uncle who was working on Follow That Dream in 1961 to meet his music idol. Part of the film was shot in Ocala, at the old Ocala Bank and Trust building (now SunTrust downtown) What a cool uncle!

[@SpaGuy]

Yes Stay tuned I show you where they met..

[@tcbstrait]

@@SpaGuy I've been waiting for this since the last time we talked ! LOL Tom Petty always said the waiting is the hardest part!! I'm so excited!

[@garagedweller7159]

Thanks spa guy. Yankeetown is just up the road from my place in Crystal river. Been down EP parkway many many times. Gonna really enjoy this series.

[@sonialeigh9112]

I love this movie!

[@prp3231]

Loved the film. It was the film that followed Blue Hawaii. Elvis has put on some weight in this movie.

[@wileypeacock6095]

I went through there about 5 years ago. Saw the courthouse and the bridge area which is still very isolated. Unchanged really, minus the sand an palm trees. Bridge and road are still the same. I’m sure Billy has every detail documented. A must see for Elvis fans.

[@brendabooher6683]

Spa Guy educates so many of us Elvis fans. It is really interesting seeing the actual court house building where the movie was filmed, and I really enjoy how you match the backgrounds of photos of Elvis to prove where they were taken. Many people like myself thought it was a movie set until you posted the video. Billy, thank you so much for what you do. God Bless.

[@michaelivey1087]

Hello Mr. Spa Guy. You hit a Grand Slam with this one!!!! Since we cant watch baseball, i have to say this is the best Grand Slam EVER!!! Just absolutely love it!!!! Thanks for tightening us up.

[@SpaGuy]

If you like part 1 you will love the rest.. Stay Tuned..

[@michaelivey1087]

Will most definitely do that!!! 😃😃😃 Whats taking so long? LOL!!! Really looking forward to it!!!! Wouldnt it be great if the old Outhouse, Still Too Much Pressure, Was still around?????? Oh my. Makes me laugh thinking about it.🤣🤣🤣

[@tommyd9857]

Excellent video, and coverage...✌️

[@jonromanovich2371]

Nice video! The Cleveland, MS comment is interesting. That's where Lamar was born.

[@TruthAlways59]

Love the history, keep em coming Spa Guy!

[@racheljames7614]

This is my favorite Elvis film especially when he is in the bank. Would love to go there. Really looking forward to the other videos. Thanks spa guyx

[@russellwhite6682]

Hello my friend loved the video I absolutely love this kind of stuff, you go to the places where Elvis had been and the building looks in good shape for how old it is but cant wait for the other installments take care my friend and you all stay safe many thanks russ

[@justdea5757]

The courthouse has been well maintained. It is more beautiful today. I enjoyed the drone footage, crystal clear. When I visit Florida again I will be visiting the courthouse for sure! On another note, I have never heard of the book you mentioned in the video. I would love to see more of the book before purchasing it. It would be great if you would do a video with a flip-through. Billy, no expectations, only a video suggestion because I truly appreciate you and all of the Elvis content that you provide all of us Elvis fans. God Bless & stay safe! Looking forward to part 2.

[@elvispresleyrecords7285]

It is great to see Follow That Dream locations that were really filmed there it must have been very exciting Billy Summer Of 61 looks like a nice book I will get it one day Awesome Video!

[@KingFanMan]

Great job. Thanks for all the work!!

[@byronmorris2620]

Great job once again Billy. Elvis actually displayed some of his acting chops in this film

[@rustywellsjr3460]

[@pambb5743]

I’ve got to have that book! I’m definitely going to start my search tomorrow early. Thank you Spa Guy for another great video! Your videos mean the world to us Elvis Fans. As time goes by your videos will become more and more valuable. They’re demoing these building everyday. We are very grateful. ❤️

[@SpaGuy]

Thank You Pam!!

[@master-kq3nw]

Excellent

[@candybailes2044]

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!

[@gaminglady3601]

Thanks again SG!!! Awesome info of the movie, people involved, and the place of making, and how it is today!!! Love your work!!

[@maggieanderson3778]

You spent $175.DOLLARS for that book Billy????? OMG I'd have to go to the library and borrow their copy. I ain't never spent more than $30 for book. Oh I love old Florida things. In a way I miss the place, but I can't speak the language anymore. Thank you for the beautiful video.

[@tammyrobison120]

My dad was an extra in the courtroom scene. He was on the side Elvis was sitting on. He had a gold shirt on!☺️

[@SpaGuy]

That is very cool..

Aww.. the lady was so sweet at the end asking if you could mention the 'blurb' about the museum. Sounds like they really need some visitors.
