Y aquí la secuencia en la que suena la canción en la inolvidable película de Peter Weir Witness, retitulada en castellano como Único testigo, sirviendo de leit motiv del baile de Harrison Ford y Kelly McGillis, en su papel de la chica amish Rachel. !Esas miradas...! Una de las secuencias más tiernas y amorosas del séptimo arte en una película eterna sobre un paisaje de corrupción y choques culturales y religiosos. Vamos, de plena actualidad.
