Hi mike..from a personal standpoint ive always loved your theme from this film since i was a little boy.I remember seeing this film on tv in the early 1970's and loved the song so much i learned to play it on the guitar..its a song thats been with me ever since,and for many years i hoped they'd be a release of the film soundtrack with your song on,but alas it still hasnt showed up.Now that the film has finally been released on dvd hopefully the powers that be will consider.Thanks again.

I just love this theme. The movie is one of the more interesting that have children as the central characters. And the final scene captures it all. The girl is at the park, in a cute bonnet, playing with toy boats on a pond, and you realize this adorable child is capable of killing a grown man.

Many thanks for posting this.A song so hard to come by. This film made a great impression on me when I was a kid, never forgot this song. This film is rarely aired these days .I actually had to put a microcassette recorder up to the T.V. in order to get a recording so I could learn this song. I had to note the time and date it was coming on AMC

Terrific vocals by Mike LeRoy. Music by the talented Larry Adler.

Lovely song. The movie is ok, but not great. I actually bought the dvd of this movie for the theme song alone. Thanks for posting this.
