Offered are a wonderful group of 12 UNPUBLISHED photographs of Elvis Presley signing autographs on the Florida set of his 1961 film, Follow that Dream. Each photo has the processing stamp of "August 1961" as well as the stamp of "Robison Mohr Photo Processing." Robison Mohr was a film processing company in St. Petersburg, Florida in the period. Each photo features Elvis, with a couple showing Colonel Tom Parker lurking in the background. Produced by Mirisch Company in 1962, the film chronicles the endeavors of a patchwork family setting up a home and business along the roadside in Florida. Based on the 1959 novel by Richard Powell entitled Pioneer, Go Home!, the film’s name was changed to Follow that Dream when the songwriters had difficulty rhyming with the word “pioneer.” The photos measure 5 x 3 1/2 inches (with one 3 1/2 inches square) and present with nice contrast, but many were folded at some point but are now stored flat. Several have handwritten notations on the reverse. Excellent condition overall, with some lesser.
