who sung the theme song in the movie high noon?
tex ritter
it is the theme song of the movie "high noon" (and titled onscreen as such in the film’s opening credits as sung by tex ritter), with its tune repeated throughout the film. it was awarded the 1952 academy award for best original song, and was performed that night for the academy by ritter. the song is about the film's main character, will kane (played by gary cooper), and the moral dilemma of his new wife, amy fowler kane (played by grace kelly), abandoning (or "forsaking") him because he chooses to stay and fight (and risk being killed) instead of running away with her after their wedding. the song refers to how he can't have a safe life with her until he has eliminated the threats that face him, and he wants her to stay with him just a while longer until it's all over and not give up on him for good. the song's lyrics significantly foreshadow the final set-piece of the film, in which amy returns to help save will, though this is only obvious on repeat viewings.
