Though it seems dated now, this film adaptation of William Inge's romantic comedy-drama was considered pretty hot stuff in its day, which was 1956. Directed by Joshua Logan from George Axelrod's script of Inge's Broadway hit, the film stars Marilyn Monroe as the kind of woman who can't understand why she always brings out the worst in men. A singer who has attracted the attention of a young rodeo rider (Don Murray) whom she meets on a bus, she finds herself trapped at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere during a blizzard. The young cowboy, whose intentions are honorable, can't control his temper and can't understand why this experienced woman won't take him seriously--and why she rejects him when he begins acting jealous and possessive. Love takes its lumps but comes out slugging in the end, with Marilyn at her vulnerable, jaded best. --Marshall Fine

Rating: - "Depot Dillema"
It is too bad Don Murry did not get an acadamy award for this picture.He nails his character as a whiney, lovesick cowboy.The real treat in watching the picture is getting to see a very young Marylin Monroe doing splendidly as she emerges as a very fine dramatic actress.Time has shown how really great she was at her craft.There never has been nor never will be anything like her--mountains of imitators, some spending millions to advance their own careers have not come close.Some of her talent ...

Despite the efforts of the writer, director, and producer, this movie never shucks the feeling that it is a one set stage play dressed up a little.The story is OK but not very convincing.No one could possibly be as naive as Beau, who sees a half-clad bleached blond untalented singer in a sleazy bar and thinks she is a virginal angel. Not even in 1956.
Don Murray is a little over the top, which works in a farce but not a comedy.There's a difference.But Marilyn Monroe is excellent as ... Read More

Marilyn Monroe was nominated for the Golden Globe award for Best Actress for this 1956 film adaptation of William Inge's play.As Cherie, she is beautiful and plays a character from some small town in Arkansas where guys started pursuing her when she was 14.From a perspective 50 years later, some of the acting seems a bit over the top, but it played well in its day.
Don Murray plays the ranch hand Bo who wants to force Cherie to marry him.Murray earned his only Oscar nomination for Best ... Read More

I very well may be alone in my opinion, but to me Marilyn Monroe showed that she could be a dramatic actress.....not just a sex kitten.
