Don't Bother to Knock Reviews
Don't bother to babysit
Is that really Marylin? Such versatility! Spectacular, unexpected plot and performance!
Marilyn's first big part
A young woman recently released from a mental institution (Marilyn Monroe) slips back into madness in the New York hotel where her uncle (Elisha Cook, Jr.) has found a babysitting job for her. This is an interesting little thriller, but not memorable enough to have survived the test of time had it not featured Monroe's first starring role. Although she is quite good, her part is underdeveloped. We really learn nothing about how she came to be as she is, and her illness is the stereotypical pathology of slipping into the past and pining for a lost love. A few scenes in which a child is endangered provoke some real suspense, and I can't help but wonder how it played for 50s audiences. Good viewing, but it fails to transcend its B-movie status./
