Title song from the film Dondi,which was based on the old comic strip of the same name.Starred David Janssen,Patti Page,Arnold Stang,and little David Kory,considered to be the most untalented child star in the history of feature films.
Leonard Maltin, in his capsule review of the film in various editions of "TV Movies", was the one who declared, "Watch this film and you'll know why [David] Janssen became a fugitive!". This was produced while David was under contract to Allied Artists, and producer/director Albert Zugsmith wanted to create a "family" film. Depending on who you talk to, this was either THE worst "family movie" ever made {"The 50 Worst Films of All Time"}....or one of the best.
Subject: The spark of invention - The spark of invention - An infinite jester - sexy beast - the new review - rosette - lovel rosette - water - rosette - on the receiving end dot dot dot
Anagram: Ex say best - Vert! let loose - - waste - tote - err - see the writ veto renew - not Green - decide to VT - "Dondi" hot - I a Tine - Finn jester - kins heaven - not profit - Senator of hip kin - vent
The critics were unkind about the film, which means the general public loved it. The child was not untalented. He was very young. One of the sweetest movies I ever watched. Whenever critics say it's an awful movie, you can bet it's a winner.

They say this movie is the reason David Janssen became a Fugitive.

I have not heard this song since 1973, when WPIX in NYC showed this movie on a Sunday afternoon.
I don't think that the film has been shown on tv since.
Thanks for the post.
