DESCRIPTION:
Written by Dimitri Tionkin for the classic western High Noon, Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darlin' is the film's ballad theme, and tells the movie's story. Gary Cooper stars in this, and he won a Best Actor Oscar for his performance as a sheriff torn between leaving town with his Quaker wife, or staying and protecting the town from incoming outlaws. The moral dilemmas portrayed in this movie are what make it so great. Grace Kelly also got her start in this movie, as Cooper's wife!
