Starring: Marilyn Monroe, Richard Widmark, Anne Bancroft
Directed by: Roy Ward Baker
U.S. Rating: Not Rated

This movie wasn't actually bad but Marilyn Monroe plays a psycho, literally. You might be shocked, however, to know that she played a psycho quite well. To be honest, I didn't know Marilyn Monroe was that good of an actress until this film. I had only seen her in her usual sexy roles. This is definitely not a feel-good movie, though. Don't Bother to Knock is more of a suspense movie. It's worth the watch if you aren't expecting a song from Marilyn.

What did I like from this movie?

1. I liked that Marilyn Monroe played a completely different role than was usual for her
2. Marilyn still looked beautiful in this movie!

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. It is upsetting that she hurts the little girl she's babysitting
