Bus Stop (1956)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col/scope 96m
Director: Joshua Logan
Cast: Marilyn Monroe, Don Murray, Betty Field, Arthur O'Connell

Synopsis:

A modern tale about a cowboy who gets off a bus far from home and falls for a saloon singer.

Review:

William Inge's play seems to be about whether it is right to conform to type, or whether to let your heart decide for you, and what to do if they both point the same way. Murray's simple cowboy cannot understand why anyone would pass him up, whereas Chérie is caught in a far more existential endgame: whether to believe in the dream still. This was one of the films Marilyn forced Fox to let her make for having to play sexy pieces of furniture in pictures like How to Marry a Millionaire. She gives the performance of her career.
