Where Chérie is pushed and pulled around with no agency, Monroe was, at the time, on the opposite trajectory. Despite branching out into other genres earlier in her career, playing the femme fatale in 1953's Niagara and appearing in noirs Don't Bother to Knock (1952) and The Asphalt Jungle (1950), by '54, 20th Century Foxwas determined to keep her ...
If Bus Stop had starred anyone else, it's doubtful the film would stand the test of time. Monroe disappears into her role, with her signature blonde hair dyed a darker shade, her famous low, breathy voice exchanged for a high-pitched Ozark accent, her skin tone made chalky with makeup (Chérie works nights and hardly sees the sun), her singing warbl...

Although dated, Bus Stop manages to charm its modern audience, if only due to our inherent longing for a simpler, more innocent past. Most of William Inge's plays are a mixture of comedy and drama.
