Town Without Pity (song)

"Town Without Pity" is a song written by composer Dimitri Tiomkin and lyricist Ned Washington. The track was originally recorded by Gene Pitney for the 1961 film of the same title. In 1962, the song received a Golden Globe award for "Best Motion Picture Song," and was nominated for an Academy Award for "Best Music, Original Song".

Pitney also recorded versions in German (lyrics by Frank Zieboltz), entitled "Bleibe bei mir" ("Stay With Me") and Italian, entitled "Città Spietata". Many artists and bands have recorded cover versions.

The song was also sung by John Travolta to Kirstie Alley in the 1989 romantic comedy, Look Who's Talking. The lyrics are referenced by Foetus (James Thirwell) in the song, "Descent into the Inferno."
