Question: What Elvis Presley musical was filmed in and around Citrus, Levy, and Marion Counties and was the 33rd highest-grossing movie of 1962?
Answer: Follow That Dream
Elvis Presley’s movie Follow That Dream was filmed on Florida’s Nature Coast, primarily in Yankeetown, which sits on the Withlacoochee River a few miles inland from the Gulf. During the shoot, Elvis stayed in Crystal River. From there, it was an easy drive to the locations that took him to Inverness, Yankeetown, Ocala, and Tampa. Yankeetown has a marker commemorating the shoot, and it also named a highway after Elvis, the Follow That Dream Highway.
