The plot is given away in the title song - what's all that about? Big spoiler ! It had to be a baby faced innocent looking actor that played the part of Tom Dooley or else the story wouldn't be accepted by audiences. And of course that's what Michael Landon's career is largely based on playing amongst other parts the perfect father and an Angel. Feels more like a TV show of that era as every expense has been spared. Comical these days when it's so obvious that the horse and cart isn't moving and that there is a film playing behind them. Interesting to watch as a film made in the late fifties that's all.
