This is one of the rare ones where the songs feel organic to the whole (plus they're great songs which really capture the spirit and emotions of these unpretentious country people). It's also a window into a vanished world and a more innocent time. For those unfamiliar with singer Dick Haymes, this is a great introduction for him. Jeanne Crain couldn't be more appealing here and even the usually stiff Dana Andrews loosens up a bit. A great piece of Americana and far superior to the Pat Boone/Ann-Margret remake.
