Rating of 4 stars out of 5 Radio Times

This was the film that proved Marilyn Monroe was a considerable screen actress, and capable of much, much more than her sexpot image indicated. Whether Monroe's performance is a result of director Joshua Logan's patience or Lee and Paula Strasberg's legendary coaching is irrelevant: she is simply superb as the down-at-heel saloon chanteuse whom young cowboy Don Murray (impressive in his film debut) decides to marry. Based on William Inge's stage play, this is a movie that rewards — especially memorable is Monroe's delivery of an off-kilter That Old Black Magic in an outfit that leaves little to the imagination. If you've ever wondered, this movie certainly shows what Monroe was all about.

Rating of 2 stars out of 4 Halliwell's Film Guide

Sex comedy-drama, a modest entertainment in familiar American vein, very well done but rather over-inflated by its star.

Rated - 2 starsMarilyn's great, but...

Hugh Palmer from Oxford, UK , 02/03/2005

Marilyn is 100% delightful as always, and it's true that this role does show off her acting talents very well... but my opinion is that if you subtract her from the movie, Bus Stop is up there in the top 100 missables of all time.The production values are poor, the stageplay to movie transition is unsuccessful, and Marilyn's cowpoke suitor is so laboriously ghastly that I wanted the rodeo sequence to turn out quite differently!

Rated - 2 starsVery Dated

A customer from London, England , 24/04/2005

This coming-of-age tale concerns a cowboy, who on his first trip to the city falls in love with Marilyn Monroe's nightclub singer.

This is the film that proved Marilyn as an actress, and she is great in it, but the rest of the film is, quite frankly, terrible. The characters are underdeveloped and annoying, the direction poor, and the story ridiculous.

I had high hopes for this film, and was very dissapointed. For hardcore Marilyn fans only.

Rated - 5 starsLoved it

JamesMc from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 05/11/2007

Yes it's dated. Yes Don Murray gets very irritating at times. But it made me laugh a lot, and it had Marilyn Monroe giving her usual amazxing performance in a very skimpy costume.

It rocked. Give it a gol.

Rated - 2 starsNot her finest hour

R.O.T. from London England , 26/04/2005

Marilyn is one of the worst parts of this mediocre film about the coming of age of a young cowhand. It has dated badly but there are shades of GIANT in some of the Bus Stop scenes. Overall, avoid...
