Monroe doing work
24 January 2023
Airline pilot Jed Towers (Richard Widmark) gets dumped by lounge singer Lyn Lesley (Anne Bancroft) and she refuses to take him back. Elevator operator Eddie Forbes (Elisha Cook Jr.) gets his niece Nell Forbes (Marilyn Monroe) a babysitting job with one of the hotel tennants. Jed's wandering eye spots Nell dancing outside his rear window. She turns out to be troubled.

The four top names are simply blowing my mind. Of course, the most interesting is Monroe. It's early in her career. She is still not fully Marilyn. She is actually trying to do serious work playing a damaged character. It's some of her better acting work. It's a must for anyone who truly loves her.
