Composer Victor Young and lyricist Edward Heyman wrote “When I Fall in Love” for the 1952 film One Minute to Zero, where it was performed as an instrumental by Richard Hayman and His Orchestra.
Although the lyric did not appear in the film, a phrase from the lyric refers to the unsettled nature of the time: “In a restless world like this is, Love is ended before it’s begun.” The movie, a Korean War drama, was overlaid by a romance between Robert Mitchum and Ann Blyth.
But, despite their star power, the film did not do well at the box office. |
