Synopsis

The Legend of Tom Dooley is a 1959 American Western film directed by Ted Post and starring Michael Landon, Jo Morrow, Jack Hogan, Richard Rust, Dee Pollock and Ken Lynch. It was based on the 90-year-old folk song "Tom Dooley", which had been inspired by the real-life case of convicted murderer Tom Dula. The theme song of the film is a ballad, a hit for The Kingston Trio in 1958. The movie's plot is consistent with the lyrics of the song, but otherwise bears little resemblance to the actual murder case.
