Today I took time to watch a movie I have avoided for many years...Bus Stop (1956). I simply couldn't picture 'sweet' Marilyn as "Tarnished Angel" Cherie & Don Murray as the innocent, virginal, rodeo cowboy Beauregard 'Bo' Decker...Silly Me! Visiting the establishment where she works Bo falls head over heels in love with dancer/singer Cherie. He starts pushing for wedded bliss on his Montana ranch. His rather boisterous pushing scares her, she tries to run away with the help of her sidekick Vera (Eileen Heckart). Good old Bo kidnaps her with the help of a lasso. His sidekick Virgil (Arthur O'Connell) tries to tell him this is not a way to win "girl friends" & influence "women". Bo doesn't listen real well.
They're on the bus to Montana. Cherie tries to get away in a snowstorm. The bus gets snowed in at the "Bus Stop". As Bo gets pushier with Cherie, Carl (Robert Bray) the bus driver tries to calm him. What do you think will happen? I, for one, was rather surprised. I hope all of you will watch it.
Arthur & Eileen are great character actors for their parts.
Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn't permanent. -Jean Kerr, author of "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" (1923-2003)
