The song was introduced by the singer Martha Mears in the 1949 film of the same name. The song failed to escape critics' general laceration of the film. Time wrote in its review that %22nothing offsets the blight of such tear-splashed excesses as the bloop-bleep-bloop of a sentimental ballad on the sound track.%22 Nevertheless, the song was nominated for an Oscar, losing out to %22Baby, It's Cold Outside%22 by Frank Loesser.The song was also a popular success, with two recordings of the song listed among the top 30 on the Billboard charts in 1950.
