I recorded a vocal after, but I'm lip-synching on the day and also just making sure this connection comes across,” Dornan added. “It was a really fun day, and Caitriona just made it so easy and we were just so bonded by the rehearsal of it that day that I think we were so happy to be doing it and getting it done.”

Director Kenneth Branaugh's introspective film on his childhood, Belfast, includes two scenes from High Noon (1952) and subsequently uses the film's title song, “Do Not Forsake Me,” sung by Tex Ritter several times.

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.
