I am trying to find out the name of an old movie. I saw it when I was young and would like to find it again. I am guessing it was made some time between 1945 and 1965. All I remember was a little girl walking along a railroad track with her rag doll and she was singing a song ( something about "buy me a rainbow...") It seems to me that it was similar in style to "To Kill a Mocking Bird". I believe the title might have had to do with a swing... back yard swing... front porch swing..
Please Help!

This is a wag, and is probably wrong.
