"River of No Return"
From the 1954 movie of the same name. That is the first movie I really remember seeing.
Tennessee Ernie Ford had a #9 hit of the song in 1954.
Robert Mitchum performed the song during the opening credits of the movie with beautiful scenery in the background.
Marilyn Monroe sang it in the movie while reclining on a piano in a bar. That was the first time I fell in love at about 5 or 6 years old.
Marilyn also sang a full version of the song and I have it on one of her CDs "The Very Best of Marilyn Monroe". She had a fine, sultry voice.
