Did Marilyn Monroe sing "The River of No Return" herself in the film by that same title? Should be interesting to find out. First heard it while still in primary school, learned to sing it in high school, but actually watched the film much later, probably in college. The river, wild. Sceneries, breath-taking. And the song, best described in Chinese rather than any English phrase I can think of..."迴腸蕩氣". "There is a river called THE RIVER OF NO RETURN Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free Love is a trav'ler on THE RIVER OF NO RETURN Swept on forever to be lost in the stormy sea... I lost my love on the river and forever my heart will yearn Gone gone forever down THE RIVER OF NO RETURN Wail-a-ree wail-a-re-e-ee She'll never return to me!" Yes, wail-a-ree I still remember the river roaring, wail-a-ree I still remember Monroe singing.
