My personal favorite Pat Boone movie was April Love though it was not among the most commercial of his 50s films and Bruce gives it just a 61% rating. Amongst those that I liked the least was Journey to the Centre of the Earth which The Work Horse contrarily praises with a high 76%. However that movie did give Pat a chance to sing – beautifully – Robert Burns’ My Love is like a Red Red Rose:
O, my love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June
O, my love is like a melody
That’s sweetly played in tune
So fair art thou, my bonnie lass
So deep in love am I
And I will love thee still
My dear till a’ the seas gang dry.

According to Billboard, Boone was the second-biggest charting artist of the late 1950s, behind only Elvis Presley, and was ranked at No. 9 in its listing of the Top 100 Artists 1955–1995. Until the 2010s, Boone held the Billboard record for spending 220 consecutive weeks on the charts with one or more songs each week. Boone’s cover versions of rhythm and blues hits had a noticeable effect on the development of the broad popularity of rock and roll.”

Journey to the center of the earth is still one of my all-time favorite movies, it holds my fascination with sci-fi movies. I can still watch this movie and it take me back to my youth finding different movies to watch.
Hey George. I was just thinking about you. This morning I was at school (working on a Dr. K project) and walked by your desk, and wondered if you got that RV going this summer. Hope you are having a great summer so far.
Good information on Journey To The Center of the Earth. That is easily his most successful movie in his career. Good stuff as always.
