Samuel Goldwyn Studio - 1041 North Formosa Avenue, Hollywood, California.
Filming continued in Hollywood. The movie title by now had evolved to "Pioneer Go Home" but Producer Walter Mirisch liked the song "Follow That Dream", so he chose it as the movie's title. Director Gordon Douglas didn't agree. "It sounded like a Doris Day movie," he said.

Elvis was offered $250,000 for two days' work as the voice (speaking and singing) of John Tom, a tomcat in an animated feature tentatively titled "Gay Purr-ee". After a typically contentious exchange with Hal Wallis' partner, Joe Hazen, about whether Elvis was contractually permitted to appear in a Cartoon without Paramount's permission, the Colonel heeded to what had undoubtedly been his inclination all along and rejected the offer.
